    If you hate Garnett, you won't want to read this. I could never hate him even when he was being an asshole to Jerryd Bayless. Because, let's face it, Bayless probably kind of deserved it. But Garnett may be the archetype of the "you hate him on another team but love him on yours" guy. I think Joakim Noah is the next closest thing, but he never had Garnett's talent.

    KG was my favorite PF for a long while.

    Tenacity was unmatched, and his post moves were smooth.

    If anyone could rival Duncan as the best power forward of All-time, it could be Garnett. In terms of just freak talent and overall ability, the guy was off the charts. It's a shame he was stuck in Minnesota for so long because I honestly think he would have multiple rings if he and Duncan had switched circumstances.

    Agreed. As long as he didn't punch Parker or Ginobili in practice for making him look bad.

    It would be a tough call for me. I think I would take Timmy as well, but Garnett was so explosive in his prime. It would be a tough call.

    I don't think it's close. I take Timmy 10 times out of 10.

    Kg and Malone would be a closer call imo, and I'd take kg.

    I think we're slanted because Timmy got to play with David Robinson, Tony Parker, and Manu.

    Who did KG play with? Stephon Marbury, Sam Cassell, and Latrell Sprewell.

    Also, Tim had Pop. KG had Flip Saunders.

    Let's not forget that Tim is a mellow, likable guy while KG is a fragile megalomaniac asshole. In a billion scenarios, in a billion alternate universes, there is never a scenario where you take KG over Duncan. Fuck KG.

    See, I liked SAR. I was disappointed that he wasn't better, but I never disliked him.

    Timmy would have gotten "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!" right, and would have been more convincing to boot.

    Here's one, in the universe of ENTERTAINMENT, Garnett was more exciting to watch.

    Disagree. Perhaps I'm the odd one out on this one, but I'd much rather watch Duncan than KG. My stance remains the same: Fuck KG!

    i didnt always like the way KG went about things, but you can't deny his talent and passion. Also the KG n Starbury era of the Wolves was pretty awesome to watch.
