Trough the KG years,Minesotta was never a top 5 defense in the league as far as point allowed go. In 2000-01 season they were ranked 14 in points allowed,the next year they ranked 16th,then they were at number 18 and only in 2003-04 all the way trough 2005-06 the were a bit batter because they ranked 7th,then 9th and in 2005-06 they were at number 8. They were average most of the time and pretty good in KG's prime years but never elite. There are some people who think everything used to be better but once you people are presented with real statistics you don't know what to say anymore. I garantee you that people who played in the 80's or watched basketball in the 80's,they all tough that basketball in 2005 was soft. PS : All the stats are from basketball reference under the Minnesota Timberwolves team index.

[@Reeferal]

Stats are skewed in some ways regarding defence due to rule changes. Zone defence was prohibited back in the day. On the flip side hand checking and more physical play was allowed. That's on both side of the ball though. Less offensive and defensive fouling, but more iso and man to man defence. It's safe to say there wouldn't be anywhere near as many successful point guards if the rules never changed however guys like Lebron may have been even more successful because they'd be allowed to be more physical and wouldn't have to contend with zones.

[@armin38822]

Hail to the KinG, you are always the greatest player in my heart. You changed my life and brought me to basketball, you will always be my hero. Farewell KG, king of the wolves, most passionate player ever, a true warrior, and a symbol of an era.

[@michaelatyourservice4004]

not only in wolves but also in celtics cause he win a championship

[@36cmbr]

Russell said words to the effect, 'that it is one thing to block a shot but quite another turn that block into a change of possession, ' case in point.

[@uncletido99]

His speed and athleticism for how lanky he is, is almost incomprehensible. I've never seen so much heart from one man

[@nickharley2344]

Kg is like 7'5 I swear lol

[@evanseekins517]

7'1 in shoes with arms down to his knees. Shit's crazy. Giannis the player nowadays where I just have to call bullshit on 6'11.

[@celticschampions]

Good bye Big Ticket!! You will be missed!! you've had a amazing career! thank you for your time in Boston and getting that 17th championship! ANYTHING IS POSSSSIBBBLEEE!!!!

I’m 18 and I remember growing up watching kg play in Minnesota so to see him come back and teach KAT was awesome the wolves have a bright future thanks to KG...gonna miss him

[@thaghozt215]

My all-time favorite Power Forward. Kg was definitely ahead of his time for a big man his size to play like a guard is basically how the NBA is now that's what made him look so phenomenal back in the 90s

[@user-qm4or3bt4v]

Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard... they're so underrated

[@hurricanestarang]

Bosh though?

I had no idea KG had such a high level of passing...

Yeah, #9 is insane.

U averaged 5 assists in Minnesota? Are u like Ricky Rubio or what?

he once averaged 6 assists back in Minnesota

Thats why he was an MVP caliber player

KG we love you, brother!!! Absolute mad man!

The 10th one gave me chills. He was so happy.

Kevin Garnett has always been my favourite player and I don't even watch basketball😂

[@wolfgang16]

the diversity of all of these plays is insane. it's like a highlight reel of 10 different all-stars

Garnett had an insanely diverse skill set and arguable the first point forward

“You may be seeing the birth of a superstar” that’s dope fr bc that’s exactly what happened

[@justinknust2395]

How many players can say half, if not more, of their top 50 plays are defensive? Probably not many, truly a one of a kind talent, and a player that I wish we had more of in the current NBA. Today's big men need to watch this.

[@Manrikitabako1]

KG in 2004 was such a beast.

[@tysonreesmusic]

That pass from Nash at 41 was insane

[@DavidGonzalez-wc6nr]

LEGEND! That smooth Jumper Always Remmembered.

[@andreamonfrini8893]

my favourite player ever !! amazing competitor! he played with passion and grit every game. Unfortunatly he arrived to my Celtic's too late!!

[@P2thaR]

Watching that draft as a celtics fan, he was the player I wanted them to get. Every time stern walked to the podium I was hoping he was going to announce that they had traded up to take him.

[@old.2651]

I miss him in modern NBA so much,trash talk himself has gone out of the league : ( Nice highlights by the way, it was awesome : ))

[@AtodaZ23]

Karl Anthony Towns. KG has been mentoring him all year long and probably will continue doing so even after retirement. He's in a perfect situation, great young talent around him, great coach in Thibodeao and a great fucking mentor in KG. So we don't have to wait another 10 years, the next KG already is here and he's playing in Minnesota ironically enough.

[@knee-colayo-kitc104]

I see more of KG in Anthony Davis then I do KAT tbh, the quickness, length, hand speed, ick and pop midrange jumpshot, and defensive ability. KAT is more of a inside post/ pick and pop/ good passer. But defensively he's nothing close to KG

[@chuckyoder5765]

Congrats KG , he will now be among the Celtic immortals as his number goes up into the rafters at The Garden !!!

[@vc2368]

One of best complete and all around player ever. KG did everything on the court. One of my favorite player.

[@christophermm23]

My favorite NBA player of all time! The man could score from anywhere on the court, posterize you at any time and when he blocked a shot, he blocked to make you never want to try and shoot over him again!

[@packersdog]

I don't care what anyone else tells me. He is the best PF to ever lace 'em up. Don't talk to me about championships. Don't talk to me about MVPs. Don't talk to me about stats. He's the best, and there's no one else in sight.

[@rebeccamagallanes5607]

ok

[@DeCurtaRican]

nick : Here’s where your argument falls apart: KG may in fact be the “best” PF to ever lace them up, but that doesn’t make him the “greatest.” KG > TD (better) TD > KG (greater) Failure to recognize this distinction is the reason LeBron is so overrated, and one reason people’s rankings don’t line up evenly. LeBron is a a great athletic talent, but IMO he’s not that great of a player! People can disagree all they want to. Most people never even consider that there’s a distinction between better and greater. When you rank BEST players, Dominique is a arguably a top-10 player, right there with Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Kareem, Oscar, Bird, and Hakeem. When you rank GREATEST players, he can’t even crack the top-25, because there are too many more accomplished players who got the most out of their abilities. ‘Nique, for all of his talent, never won a ring, never made any players around him better players. Are Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis or Cliff Levingston HoFers? That stuff matters. I know that James Worthy might not be considered to be a top-50 player if not for Magic! I doubt Manu Ginobli would be a HoFer without Duncan and Parker. This is where you must start to understand the differences between KG and TD. If KG > TD, KG should be ranked in the top-15 players of all-time. TD should still be ranked ahead of KG, because rings matter in the NBA more than they do in other sports. Individual players can impact teams more in Basketball, Soccer and Hockey than they can in Baseball or football. TD is “greater” than KG, because he won more, and was probably a better leader - though not by much. He made players around him better just through his silent leadership and work ethic. That has to matter. Parker and Ginobli are HoFers in part because of TD. Even Steve Kerr and Robert Horry may one day get in because of TD. TD made former coach Avery Johnson look like a genius! But KG was “better” - as in more talented. Better = Inputs (talent) Greater = Talent + Skills + Outputs* Skills are gained through hard work. For instance, Magic learned the baby sky hook when he got to the pros. Jordan wasn’t that great with his left hand, or a great outside shooter, when he was first drafted. He learned those things over time. Talent is INNATE. Were born with it. Skills are LEARNED. When people use the term “developing talent” they are really using a fallacious expression, because talent can’t be developed. What you develop is skills to maximize your talent the development of skills is how we get maximum outputs. *Outputs are accomplishments (i.e. titles, title game appearances, team & individual statistics, All-Star game appearances, international/Olympics performances, impact on other players and careers, individual awards & accolades, etc.) Talent Skills Outputs Those are all different concepts. So when we debate players, we have to insure that we are debating the same stuff and not comparing apples to oranges
