His ability to Defend, Rebound, Shoot, Energize and understanding the fundamentals of this beautiful game demands respect of any true Basketball fan. His love, passion and tenacity for the game is incomparable. Thank You KG for giving us another season to watch you play. Sincerely from a Raptors Fan.
That is one of the best comments I have ever read on RUclips. The fact that you recognize what you do about KG says a lot about your basketball knowledge. I too am thankful that he is giving us another year and still contributing despite what the haters say. Good Luck to your Raptors!
uhjinlee He was my favourite player for quite a while for the reasons you stated, plus he is a great character. One of the very few players who could play all five positions. From a Magic fan (or at least I was until they took basketball off the air in my country :( ).
CowLunch KG could definitely NOT play PG or SG hell barely SF.. He's an all time great and HOF no doubt so don't get me wrong but you're being delusional saying that he could play all 5 positions lmao.
best era for basketball : t-mac , kobe , vince , pierce , steve francis , ai , shaq , tayshawn price , billups , ben and rasheed wallace , ginobli , fisher , ray allen etc . those were the good days
KG is a beast on the court but a cool ass dude off.. I met him years back just walking through the mn state fair with jimmy jam n some of his friends. He stopped n said what's up to his fans and spent a ton of money to take all the kids for rides that were following him around. He wasn't signing stuff just walking through midway being a kid himself with people laughing n having fun.. Respect and awesome guy to have met
Mike Hawk my bad!!of course COBE!!!!THE BEST PLAYER VERY CLOSE TO JORDAN ,MAYBE TOO CLOSE!!!!NO i think MJ proved he was the best with the wizards!!the worst team of the nba back then and if he and hamilton were not injured most of the year,they would be at the playoffs!!
BallX10 Duncan's the best PF, but I was saying from a pure talent standpoint. During their primes, both were great 2-way monsters but I'd consider Garnett the better player overall.
Man I loved KG he was literally a threat in every way he could do it all, he was my favourite player and still is, best powerford in the history of Basketball
As I come back to this video after 1 year I mean what can I say... The Big Ticket finally expired. Been a fan of you since you got drafted straight out of high school in 95'. The NBA will never be the same without you. Your intensity of playing Basketball will be missed. The Best Defensive PF of all time. Kobe, Nash, Tim, KG....--->Dirk is next and then the era of 90's is over.
Glad to see a lot of these clips were from the days of playing in Minnesota although he won a championship in Boston...never forget your roots..KG will always be the Magnificent Human Highlight...always fun to watch...the "Ultimate Intimidator"
I have watched this video 1 million times the last 8 years. I catch myself mumbling things like "... Double digits in Minnesota, six players with double digits" And then I watch this again 😂
Exactly the same thing I swear. Today I saw a video and a guy said "He would be a freshman in college now..." And I started to mamble the commentate and came to watch the video again 😂😂😂.
Incredible player. There's no-one else like him., As intense as the greatest players i've seen like Jordan, Magic, Bird were, i don't think you could say they were more intense, or played harder than this man. He'd play the first minute of pre-season game as full-on as he played the 7th game of playoff series and plays every minute in between the same. 100% all the time. The man is a machine. Also just an incredibly great player and the best all-around defensive player since Bill Russell.
I was born in 2002 , didn’t see much of kg except when he was on the Celtics and after when he was washed but , his mentality and attitude makes him one of my favorite players of all time .
KG taught me why important DF,rebound and heart. He always hustle in the court. I was glad that my favorite player Paul and KG got champion ring at 2008. I miss you Big Ticket KG. Everything is possible.
back in minnesota...man oh man those were the days when i was proud to be a timberwolves fan i still love an miss ya KG we will never forget what you did for us!
May 19th: Happy birthday NBA (Ret.) Kevin "KG" Garnett; NBA Champion, NBA MVP, NBA Defensive Player of the Year, 15 x NBA All Star. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, N.B.A. Blessings
The debate with Garnett/Duncan? Two completely different players. I don't think anyone would argue that Duncan had the better supporting cast, coach.. even some time to learn with David Robinson. If Garnett were just to play the low post position like Duncan, Duncan would be better. Watch his highlights. All of his plays are within 5 feet of the hoop. Duncan just has the better build for that. But c'mon.. there's no comparison when it comes to ball handling, shooting range, defensive range, passing.. so many things that Garnett could do that Duncan wouldn't even consider trying. But at the end of the day, if Garnett/Duncan switched, I'm don't think the Spurs win as many titles. Duncan's presence was more focused, everyone else's role was more defined where it's an easier team game that way, more consistent. Spurs' coach be a big reason for that, too.
as much as it saddens me, being a Lakers fan, that they lost to the Greens in that Finals series - just as much it fills my basketball heart with joy that KG got a ring! Well deserved! Truly one of the sports greatest minds! Respect!
All around all star! Great team work, great defense, great offense, & most importantly great effort. I've never been disappointed with KG's game. Oh & to let the record show I'm from San Antonio & I'm a die hard Spurs fan!
KG was better than Duncan but The T'Wolves were never onna same talent level Duncan got Parker,Ginobli,Robinson,Avery Johnson,Sean Elliot,Robert Horry and KG was blessed with spreewell(old) Sammy Cassel(old) joe Smith Terrell Brandon and Joe Smith tell Timmy-Tim to win with that talent pool the fuck out of here
If they switched places, people would have said that Duncan won so many titles because he played with great players like Wally Szczerbiak, Marc Jackson, Joe Smith, Troy Hudson, Rasho Nesterovic, etc while Garnett played with an washed up David Robinson, some soft Euros, etc. KG was an awesome player but Duncan was a winner. I compare them to Bill and Wilt. While Chamberlain and Garnett had the individual stats, Russell and Duncan won the titles.
they are all wrong, paul pierce doesn't have one 'cause nba made this for all the all stars in 2013, that's why someone who had had it before got a fresh top 10, had pierce been chosen an all star then, he would've had it as well
Duncan had David Robinson, Tony Parker, and Manu G. Malone had J. Stockton. KG didn't had any of them until very later in his career, i think he's better than both of them. 2cents
militar3rd I agree his career woulda been different, MUCH different if he had good surrounding casts, but better than Duncan & Malone? I disagree. 1. Duncan 2. Malone 3.KG or Barkley(I'm going with KG) 4.KG or Barkley(I'm going with Barkley) 5.Dirk
DoU EvenLift dirk ain't top 5 he's not even better than Kevin mchale! You forgot about bob petit the guy with the most all star game mvp's. it's tim duncan malone, kg, bob petit then barkley
Dirk led his team to two finals appearances, McHale was a more dominant low post player, but I wouldn't take him over Dirk, He's got his rings cause of Bird, Dirk has his rings cause of Dirk. Not to mention 1 MVP > 0
Kg is like everything you want in a player,SMOOTH MJ TURN AROUND (MIND YOU HE IS ALMOST 7 FEET),DEFENSE ANCHOR ,MAKES TEAMMATES BETTER,ETC ETC,SO MANY THINGS KOBE AND LBJ AND ETC CANT SEEM TO DO
thespider108 I am not talking about rings i am talking individual skill wise, KG had a mean post fade-away and he was an excellent defender as well as passer and mid range shooter therefore in my opinion Garnett is the best pf in his prime
Areez Khan Well then you forget Duncan having the best low post most ever besides possibly McHale, interior defence he is better than Garnett, a better scorer, rebounder and winner. You do realize in the 03 finals he averaged 27/17/5/5/1 and almost had a quad, Garnett is my favourite of all time and the second greatest PF ever, but by Duncan's sixth year in the league he was the greatest PF ever, it took Ggarnett 13 years and a ring to secure a top 3 status.
Eh, sort of. Keep in mind that Duncan practically led an aging Spurs team back to a title in '03, winning the Finals MVP vs New Jersey. He dominated that year. In 99, well, he was young, but he had post moves to rival practically anyone, and on a Spurs team whose only real stars were Robinson and Elliot. You began to see him really age in 05, and even then he remained effective in the Finals. Now Parker and Ginobili have been an effective duo to compliment Duncan well, but even then, great players have the ability not only to lead their teams in statistics, but in conduct. And about the easy points, watch Duncan's earlier years, and you'll see he had to fight for his baskets. He still technically does, but he's been shifted to center from PF, and back to PF, but now he has to play closer to the basket because of his age. Now I'm not saying Garnett is incapable of scoring or is simply bad. In fact, KG's one of my favorite PFs of all time. I'm just saying that when compared to Duncan, I think Duncan's the better player.
Really I think @58seconds explains it all,he knew Timmy was going to throw the outlet to his point guard which is the correct play thus the nickname(Big Fundamental) to do,Timmy's good but K.G had the vision to anticipate that sniffed out stole the pass passed it to his point guard then point guard lobbed it and k.G dunks on Timmy that in a nutshell explains why he's K.G>Timmy.
mr74og rings, stats what else is it. tim duncans 4 rings to 1. duncan is a better rebounder,scorer. People always say Garnett had the worse team and Duncan was lucky to be put in a great system. while he has better stats then KG kevin garnett has been playing longer then him and he still has better stats. what does that show you. who else did tim duncan have before just with david robinson. nobody had known of manu ginobili before or tony parker. 4x NBA Championships -3x Finals MVP -2x MVP.
mr74og exactly. hush mode. timmy is the best PF ever the stats and rings back it up. how else do you compare the all around player then who has a bigger house? come on
KG is a boss. Some of you younger guys didn't see this guys 10-12 years ago when he was athletic as shit, he was fun to watch. Changed his game, but was still a hell of a player
I remember watching Kevin Garnett when he was in the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was unstoppable, he had the whole package as a Power Forward back then.
Twolf nation still loves you KG, and we'd also happy you finally won that ring you deserve, even if it wasn't with us. Good luck in New Jersey next year. If you end up playing the Heat, I'll finally have to root against them.
number 2 was really number one, i remember watching league pass and just happened to turn it on that game right as he put down that rebound, i wondered if it was going to be in the top ten, it was a pretty obscure game, but i never forgot it.
His ability to Defend, Rebound, Shoot, Energize and understanding the fundamentals of this beautiful game demands respect of any true Basketball fan. His love, passion and tenacity for the game is incomparable.
Thank You KG for giving us another season to watch you play.

KG is like a evil Duncan..dark side of the greatest PF ever played
+Mizfit Makaveli big L 😂😂😂😂
How wasn't he lol?
Wow, thats racism, KG is in the dark side because he is blacker LOL
Kevin can shoot better
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man the 00's might have been the best era ever for poward forwards, KG, Duncan, Dirk, all 3 of these guys are HOF worthy
plus Webber who is perhaps a notch below but had some monster years with the Kings.
Yeah I agree with that
best era for basketball : t-mac , kobe , vince , pierce , steve francis , ai , shaq , tayshawn price , billups , ben and rasheed wallace , ginobli , fisher , ray allen etc . those were the good days

he’s not dead bro 🤣
Bruh this ain’t garnetts account
I miss this guy. An unparalled mix of poise, intensity, lengh, strengh, intimidation and touch. One of the greatest players ever.
For a 6'11 guy, some of the stuff he was doing.. absolutely insane. Big ticket was a different breed.
"KG crashes to the floor but so might have the hopes of the Los Angeles Lakers"
was that supposed to be funny?
***** No
The Real Goatmentator
I remember that game very vividly, one of the best closeout games in Celtics history. Just blew them out completely
Hater gone hate on the lakers but more importantly respect for Kg
Great defender, solid mid-range and his heart for the game is just amazing
KG is a beast on the court. I'm glad he got at least one NBA Finals Championship.
KG is a beast on the court but a cool ass dude off.. I met him years back just walking through the mn state fair with jimmy jam n some of his friends.

THE ONLY PLAYER IN THE HISTORY TO EVER REACH 25000 points 10000 boards 5000 assists 2000 blocks and 1800 steals!!!!!!!!!!!!! Impossible is nothing!
+chi bill is anyone close to him?
+aquijada Le'Bron should be, I think the only stat he need is blocks, but he plays SF anyway
+chi bill yes but concider that he is playing from 17 years old !!!cobe too!!

Mike Hawk my bad!!of course COBE!!!!THE BEST PLAYER VERY CLOSE TO JORDAN ,MAYBE TOO CLOSE!!!!NO i think MJ proved he was the best with the wizards!!the worst team of the nba back then and if he and hamilton were not injured most of the year,they would be at the playoffs!!
I appreciate how blocks are highlighted amongst the top plays. Defense wins games.
defense and rebounds win games
if u got killed at boards u can win
I cried a bit when the announcer said "young fella." ☹️

KG, one of the best PF's. Explosive around the rim, lethal fadeaway J', good ball handling and most importantly his passion and love for the game.
Best thing that ever happened to the Timberwolves.
Arthur Penn They had to be good before they drafted him, for that to be valid.
@Andrew Murray Might want to look up the Lakers history...
Things are looking better now man :)
Kevin's fadeaway a beautiful thing to watch, love from a Celtics fan❤☘
KG was probably the best individual talent overall at the PF position imo.
I think its between Barkley and Garnett, which I'm assuming meant had greatest primes
are we to count olajuwon as a pf or c? because he played center, but was really a pf
Nick Donlon Hakeem was definitely a center. One of the best centers of all time.
No Tim Duncan?
BallX10 Duncan's the best PF, but I was saying from a pure talent standpoint. During their primes, both were great 2-way monsters but I'd consider Garnett the better player overall.
Anybody that can make a go like that with a small market team for that long has my respect. KG did it right.
Imagine if Garnett was on the Spurs instead of Duncan, he probably could've been the best PF in history. He was a beast at both ends of the floor.
U GoDdAmn right 👊🏿
KG and manu???
He is the best PF in NBA history
@@Chaulky420AGREED

Sorry but he's not better than Dirk

You're forgetting a man named Karl Malone.

If he got 3-5 rings maybe he will be in the top 10 greatest players of all time. Like if you agree :)
Thank you KG, you are an inspiration for me your intensity and your mentality are majestic
Still my favorite player in NBA.
Special human being with special energy, fantastic charismatic player!
#2 moment! that dunk was for Malik Sealy R.I.P
My top NBA player of all time..

Duncan had the better career, but I believe KG was the better player
pau gasol has more skill than both combined
Pau gasol is too slow and I thought he played center but anyway he was good as hell
Luca Flooka Flames actually, i think blake griffin is better than all these scrubs.
K.G was way faster than Duncan as aswell
Scalabrine > all
most exciting player to watch. period.
Minnesota is going to suck this year, but they are going to be fun to watch with Wiggins, Lavine, and Young catching lobs from Rubio
Ouch......looks like you guys are stuck with Thad oh well
Based2kgod14
Stuck? i hope we keep him, Thad is a Beast!
good thing you guys just resigned rubio. he will keep fans in the seats until Wiggins turns into a star or you sign one
And garnett 😉
Ryan Terry Rubio has not been very consistent tho, hopefully garnett can do something tho
Kevin Garnett's greatness I grew up watching his skill he's a beast always.
where's the play when he absolutely palmed the entire ball in the air when he blocked a dude
All around all star! Great team work, great defense, great offense, & most importantly great effort. I've never been disappointed with KG's game. Oh & to let the record show I'm from San Antonio & I'm a die hard Spurs fan!
The only player in the history of the game who can beast all 5 positions like a boss.
Remembered the best of kg in minessota and when he moved to boston with the big 3 and their rivalry w/ the lakers :-)
welcome home KG
Still gives me goosebumps watching KG when he was fit! Beast of a player!
KG was better than Duncan but The T'Wolves were never onna same talent level Duncan got Parker,Ginobli,Robinson,Avery Johnson,Sean Elliot,Robert Horry and KG was blessed with spreewell(old) Sammy Cassel(old) joe Smith Terrell Brandon and Joe Smith tell Timmy-Tim to win with that talent pool the fuck out of here
So true
You miss the coach
If they switched places, people would have said that Duncan won so many titles because he played with great players like Wally Szczerbiak, Marc Jackson, Joe Smith, Troy Hudson, Rasho Nesterovic, etc while Garnett played with an washed up David Robinson, some soft Euros, etc.
KG was an awesome player but Duncan was a winner. I compare them to Bill and Wilt. While Chamberlain and Garnett had the individual stats, Russell and Duncan won the titles.
Man KG is underraded so freaking good in his Prime...
Jack Dempsey Naa Duncan had Pop. KG got his team and his coach out of his prime and still won
2:11 possibly one of the most satisfying sounds I've heard
How come paul pierce doesn't have one of these
(No offense) but probably because he still has a career left
Exactly^^^
Angus Burns
that is exactly what I meant
they are all wrong, paul pierce doesn't have one 'cause nba made this for all the all stars in 2013, that's why someone who had had it before got a fresh top 10, had pierce been chosen an all star then, he would've had it as well
My favorite power forward of all time. Tim was great as well but always have loves kg's intensity.
Garnet won't be in the hall of fame... Ever
i agree
Lol what...you guys know he's gonna be in there right. He's top 5 PF of All time.
He deserves more than Malone.
L.
Favorite of all time. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Sometimes I wonder who picks these lists... To be the nba's official channel they have some weak top 10's... Number 1 wuz terrible
N1 was pretty good actually, Block, rebound, run and score in one play. In his rookie year. :)
I actually think #1 was good. I play where KG defends, rebounds, runs the floor and scores kinda it personifies his career.
You're my man, KG!
after duncan and malone kg is next!
Duncan had David Robinson, Tony Parker, and Manu G. Malone had J. Stockton. KG didn't had any of them until very later in his career, i think he's better than both of them. 2cents

Dirk led his team to two finals appearances, McHale was a more dominant low post player, but I wouldn't take him over Dirk, He's got his rings cause of Bird, Dirk has his rings cause of Dirk. Not to mention 1 MVP > 0
but dirk is still not top 5 because elvin hayes is better than dirk as well!

disrespecting timmy.
forgetting barkley
Duncan: 4 rings
3 guys you have ranked ahead of Duncan combined: 2 rings

Timmy had the better team but kg had better skill set, and hell know Timmy was not a better rebounder or scorer you idiot look at the stats
My boy KG in the HOF
I love the block, rebound, dunk triple play.
He is so cool…
KG is a boss. Some of you younger guys didn't see this guys 10-12 years ago when he was athletic as shit, he was fun to watch. Changed his game, but was still a hell of a player
That last play is the definition of a KG play. The defence , the rebound then the dunk. What a beast
Great player that can dunk his 3 pt shot affect his career
Kevin garnett is really a good player! Definitely one of the best!
I remember watching Kevin Garnett when he was in the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was unstoppable, he had the whole package as a Power Forward back then.
Twolf nation still loves you KG, and we'd also happy you finally won that ring you deserve, even if it wasn't with us.
Good luck in New Jersey next year. If you end up playing the Heat, I'll finally have to root against them.
number 2 was really number one, i remember watching league pass and just happened to turn it on that game right as he put down that rebound, i wondered if it was going to be in the top ten, it was a pretty obscure game, but i never forgot it.
Happy 37 BDAY Garnett gotta win us a championship next year one of the great basketball player and a true hall of famer no question
All these Oldschool players retiring. Kobe, Duncan and now KG. NBA will never be the same.
The man has heart, you can't deny that.
I miss watching prime KG play...bigman with guard skills
1:43 That court was awesome! Wish teams would make courts like that today.
I grew up watching MJ and pippen in Chicago, thats why their my favorite team.
My boy KG!!!!
Kevin Garnett is intensity personified.
will always be remembered as a Celtic
