Kevin Garnett: 2004 vs Kings Playoffs GM7 ~Classic Game~

[@Simer1003]

KG in his prime just could not be stopped!!!! I'm glad he's got a ring, and is 4 wins away from another! Go Celtics!

[@walterlv01]

This game really opened the eyes of a lot of people to just how good this guy was. People didn't get to see him play that much. The Wolves were hardly ever on national TV and they were always out after the first round in the playoffs. People knew he was a good player but he really became "KG" throughout the country in this game.

[@ethd2286]

It didnt last long, but for a very short amount of time, Kevin Garnett was the best basketball player in the world. Not Kobe, not Shaq, not McGrady, not Iverson, not Duncan. No one.

[@xSKYKILLAx]

Eth D I dont recall Tmac ever being the best

[@marcus.6487]

Eth D yeah, kG waz 2 damn trill

[@TheIcemanthomas]

xSKYKILLAx exactly

[@brianfitzsimmons6074]

xSKYKILLAx T-mac was a bad man in Orlando maybe you're too young

[@magicmamba915]

T-mac was best player in the league in 2002-2003 is no doubt . One of the best individually perfomances history ever seen. And he was only 22 or 23...

[@DustinUriah]

The greatest game KG ever had. I remember watching this and feeling so happy for the guy. He was finally able to showcase an amazing talent that was under the radar for so many years. Awesome upload my man.

[@nickvecchiolla]

Some all time great calls "OHH WHAT A SHOT" and a call that I always remember "REJECTED BY GARNETT" noone has ever played with more heart than the one and only Big Ticket.

My all time favorite playoffs game... KG was just simply amazing...He basicly played all game without rest and still found energy to get it done..he even played point guard...

[@JBBGeek]

It's only fitting that Kevin Harlan announce this game, the best of Kevin's career, since he was the former announcer for Timberwolves games. P.S. I am posting this comment on the day that KG got traded BACK to Minnesota. He is easily the greatest Timberwolf to play for that organization, and I hope he retires as a Minnesota Timberwolf.

[@MengSeeMengDo]

Needless to say Kevin Garnett was my idol when I was younger. Mainly because of games like these.

[@raymondpangg]

I remember watching this jumping out of my seat when Webber almost tied it. But signature KG game. Dude did everything in this game grabbed a shot of out midair, crossed over Webber, made a 3, 32 and 21 with 5 blocks and 4 steals. One of the most complete games I've ever seen in a crucial game 7 on his birthday! Classic performance!

[@HxcRelentless7]

unreal, can still remember watching every single twolves game back then. I was like 9 years old lol. Pretty soon the target center will be packed like it was then and cheering for KAT and Wiggins. People forget how great Wolves fans were back in that time period. Give us a winning team and the playoffs and we will pack that thing and make it loud again.

[@canadiansuisei-fan841]

Not just KAT and Wigs. LaVine, Gorgui, Bazz, and Tyus Jones have all proven they can play. We also have the 5th pick this year

[@starpowerfitness9651]

I always thought putting KG at the point was one of the smartest moves they did. That crossover he did on Webber... wow. So talented. It's ridiculous how versatile he was and even still is. KGs greatest individual performance.

As a Laker fan, Timberwolves should be in the Finals that year and they could beat the Pistons. That squad deserves a Ring.

[@Passarinho86]

God when NBA players used to play for the pride of their team instead of just the money. 1. Iverson taking a bad team to the NBA Finals and winning Game 1. 2. Jason Kidd taking a bad team to back to back NBA Finals. 3. The Spurs playing end to end basketball to win 3 times in 5 seasons. 4. The 2004 Pistons playing the best defence in NBA Playoff History to win. 5. The Lakers coming back from 30 down in the 4th to beat the Blazers in 7. 6. The 2006 Miami Heat coming from 0-2 down to win in 6. 7. MJ's 'flu game' up 2-0, Jazz win games 3 & 4 & Jordan drops 38 in Game 5.

[@rodneyscott8576]

The 2006 NBA Finals were the result of David Stern ordering the referees to give Wade all of the foul shots he could take. Dallas should have two banners.

[@Passarinho86]

rodney scott Ok. Also number 5 is slightly wrong it was down 15 in game 7.

[@funkykriz21]

Christian Schaefer an das Laker - Blazer Spiel kann ich mich noch super erinnern! unfassbar , dass die auf einmal soo die Hosen voll hatten und NIX nada Null getroffen haben!! :D und deine 1. wird auch unvergessen bleiben!!

[@joedagg4495]

KG also took these bunch of scrubs to the WCF and lakers to 6 games.

[@Justiceisbest]

i may hate him as a celtic, but you gotta love this guys heart and determination.

[@illmaticplaya612]

Wow that 3 CWebb took at the end is the definition of a heart breaker.

[@Million02488]

one of the greatest performances in NBA history. there needs to be more Kevin Garnett's out there....guys who give 200% every night. guys who aren't babies that whine after every call against them, who play with heart and not for money and fame, and who care more about the team than their own personal gain

[@gevz2kx]

Garnett is a beast. I don't know what was better the crossover on Webber, the 3 pointer, or the block at the end. Great video.

[@TeamTakeoff1]

Man this bring tears to my eyes but don't worry wolves fans i see a little of garnett energy in rubio, we will be back soon.

[@glazedham42]

Garnett's block on Stojakovic at 2:47 is just plain nasty. Glad that KG went to Boston and got at least one ring. He deserved it. Hopefully he'll get at least one more. As a Reggie Miller fan, even one ring is great, but I still think his career would be an understatement of his abilities if he doesn't get another ring. Kids in the future won't be able to look back and remember just how dominant he was.

[@gilbertocorral293]

I miss watching these two teams play they where never the same after that series

[@matheusg21]

This was the best Wolves team in our history.Good Times.

[@Killoea]

Honestly, the 03-04 KG season in my opinion was the most impressive season by any player that I've ever seen since Jordan.

[@Killoea]

This was the Twolves year, period. The only thing that stopped then was Sam Cassell getting injured and being unable to play.... this haunts me to this day. IT WAS OUR YEAR!

[@markmcnamara9107]

God damn that was a fun year, great memories. Target Center was fuckin bangin

[@SINGWAN1986]

Classic performance of NBA Playoffs History

[@eugenemaki9177]

Kevin Harlan announcing that game for TNT is fitting, after all he was responsible for naming KG "The Big Ticket" on account of KG being able to sell the target center out singlehandedly. I remember watching many Wolves games that year. The battles with Sacramento and San Antonio...ahh the good old days. What a travesty that the Wolves haven't retired his jersey yet! The moment he retired...first home game last year should have been a special ceremony for KG and the man who was responsible for taking a chance on a high school kid... and his coach for the first 8.5 seasons Flip Saunders. WTF Glen Taylor, make this happen now!!!!

[@Kito343]

KG is just a beast, one of the top 10 PF all time

[@djsammyc]

I was at this game!! Probably the best live sporting event I've ever seen. Sad that it was the beginning of the end.

Stephen A. Smith Ha, that is stupid enough to be something Stephen A would really say. EVERYONE knows how great KG is.

[@rodneyscott8576]

Stephen A. Smith Remember that he played in the era of great power forwards. Every year in the West, there were great matchups at the 4 with Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Rasheed Wallace, Dirk, Brian Grant, and the last years of Karl Malone.

[@RRMusic93]

Wow, what a crowd. It must feel great to get a reaction like that on your court.

[@michaelderamo1866]

Not trying to be a kill joy or anything because this was an all-time classic performance by Garnett and nobody can say otherwise. I'll just add this. As good as the T'Wolves were that season, if Webber had played all year for the Kings instead of only 17 games before the playoffs, then this series would have ended up much differently. Kings probably beat them in 6. Hell, despite this all world performance by KG on the "better team" and on their home court...the Kings still almost beat them. Came down to one 3 pointer that lipped out or they go to overtime and then who knows! I give the road team the edge in that situation because of the made shot at the buzzer to get there while gaining serious momentum and the mounting pressure on the home team. Was an awesome series can still remember watching it intensely. Thanks for the share!

2:45 One of my favorite blocks.

man, that was an awesome season. as a wolves fan though, thinking about the season makes me kinda sad since we havent even made the playoffs since then and we may have gone all the way if cassell didnt get hurt.

[@CWEBB04z]

would have loved to have seen prime Webber in this series.. would have been a great matchup

[@TheStatisfiedOne]

prime garnett was the best PF ever. true mvp. 24 ppg 14 rbg. 5 ASSISTS pg and 2.2 bpg. not to mention that the wolves had the best record of the league and he took them to the wcf while hes team wasnt that great outside of cassel

[@clutchcity25]

And this was on this dude's birthday! No wonder KG won MVP.

[@dirrrrrknowitzki]

2004 was one of the best season ever. MIN, LAL, SAC, SAS, and DAL were very good teams. but, DET was the champion.

[@TheKapei22]

how time flies... twolves kicked every ass in those years, nba punished them with taking their 1st round picks but it couldn't stop them. now they desperately lose every time about chris webber, he was a great power forward even he was the best power forward in earlier 2000's when kevin garnett was a small forward, but he never had a ring, he deserved it too

[@Birdman31942]

thanks for puttin this up WOLVES 4 LIFE

[@quengkol]

this is the year when KG got his MVP trophy.. Giving the Minnesota the best record of that season..Sadly they fought w/L.A. in west finals w/ the line up of Payton,Kobe,Fox,Malone and Shaq and they lost in 6 games...

8:47 REJECTED BY GARNETT! EPIC ANNOUNCE THERE!

[@joesakic91]

Little-by-little, the 'Greatest Show on Court' era Sacramento Kings started to break up. The fail nail in their coffin was when Geoff Petrie decided not to renew Rick Adelman's contract after the 2006 NBA playoffs. That was the last time, the Kings made the playoffs.

[@Moocow002]

Back when the Kings and Timberwolves were both dangerous playoff teams...times have changed.

[@Richardfson]

i love game 7. it doesn't matter who is playing.

[@ArcadianGenesis]

Just as a general basketball principle, post players are of the utmost importance. This is because they affect the game on both ends of the court more than wing and guard positions. So I will always take a dominant center/PF over a high-scoring wing or guard. To be fair, LeBron adds a lot to the game with his assists and rebounding. But so did Garnett! That's why it's an interesting comparison; both players were triple-double experts (KG in his prime). But overall, Garnett has the edge.

[@mexia23]

C Webb wasn't the same after that knee injury smh... damn KG shook him at 6:43

[@netcap001]

wow cassell...omg. i cant believe that he played so good before.

[@ceezybaby]

God, I remember this game... Peeler tried to get KG suspended the game before because he was murdering Sac-Town. It was KGs 28th birthday. Also the anniversary of his best friend Malik Sealys death. At 7:58 he rips the Kings hearts out

[@Jazz570xzk]

Best PF of ALL TIMES

[@chumsyalibumsy09]

I was there, best game i ever saw

[@ArcadianGenesis]

I'll admit that 2004 Garnett was just as efficient and dominant as 2003 Duncan (both their respective peaks). KG gives you ball handling, outside shooting, assists, and was the rebound king in 04. TD gives you the best low-post offense in the league (perhaps ever), great rebounding, shot blocking, runs the offense from the post, and excellent ability to drive or shoot a bank shot from long range. It's pretty subjective, but I think Duncan's skills are more "valuable" for winning championships.

[@walterdbrown]

that is why he is the only Celtic that i like! Go KG

[@AI913]

He is everywhere!

[@CptRexFilms987654321]

KG is so much better than TD, he gives you a larger defensive presence. He can fire up a team and make them play defense. He molded Kendrick Perkins, helped Paul pierce up his defensive game along with rondo. He may not like being the lrad scorer, but he will if he has to. You can count on him to make great plays at any time. He can get you stops, points, assists, and rebounds even at his late age

[@db_41000]

He's BACK

[@buck02111]

My sixers are now 8-3. Lets go sixers!! I do like KG though. I respect his passion towards the game of basketball though.

[@pjhall5250]

After this the Kings were never the same

[@petd3321]

Duncan was the best player on 4 championship teams and their main offensive weapon and defensive anchor. Kg was the 2nd best player on the celts in '08. While KG had a good regular season, there was no mistaking Pierce was the main man for the celts in the playoffs that year. KG has always had more of a pippen/mchale/robin mentality and was never completely comfortable being the 1st option on offense and it always showed in big games (aside from this game 7 vs kings).

[@ArcadianGenesis]

I'm a tim duncan fan myself, but 2004 kevin garnett was one of the greatest players of all time. I'll take 2004 garnett over 2012 lebron james.

[@drjamyma]

Great great game man.

[@akakebo]

kG! best powerforward when he was a wolf! he is an absolute beast he 7ft nd he plays like a pointguard/center

[@JellyBean2144]

That was supposed to be our year. If only we would have got some help for KG, what could have been here in Minnesota. 1 title? We will never know. But dang it felt good for that one moment. Minnesota Timberwolves basketball at it is best (2004).
