    Kg was the motor and
    Sam Was the spark. When Sam was healthy that team was a real contender.

    KG went from winning the MVP to missing the playoffs. As much as I love him as a player, that has to black mark in his career. I just couldn't understand why a player with such passion and fire fell short so much in big moments.

    Spreewell had bigger concerns than basketball. His family was evidently starving and he was finding himself unable to feed them.

      @@billblaski9523 Classic case of why some ppl need to let their agents speak for them. Sprewell was not necessarily wrong to want higher pay. But the way he phrased it made him seem like a complete moron that can't be trusted with more money.

    2006 was worse, for me. 2005 felt like a hiccup, but we could return to a perennial playoff team once we cleaned up the vibes......06 let us know it was a trend

    glen taylor was the biggest reason the kg wolves never made any other runs. except for that one mvp year, kg had literally no help his entire wolves tenure. the greatness of kg carried all those wolves teams to the playoffs and he eventually just ran out of gas, always playing hurt and never taking days off. he defended 1 through 5, was a 23/13/5 player in his prime, while also being an all-defensive player. this is why it’s timmy and kg, top 2 forwards of all time.
