This topic is about who/ and why you think a player is the best in the league.

Best player= Kevin Garnett.

Here's why:

In a poll I did a long time ago, 4 voted Garnett, and the other 4 voted TD. Kevin Garnett would have maybe 3 titles under his bealt if he played in San Antonio. Garnett is better in most categories. And the ones that Duncan wins, Garnett goes beyond in the next category to make up for it. Garnett can play, and cover any position in the league. There is no category that he does bad in. Duncan is struggling in FT's and isn't rebounding as much I dont believe. His TEAM is doing better right now also. Now that KG has a better team around him, its showing with them in the lead of the division. You can then say, "Oh, Duncan is a better leader." Bull. KG took a pay cut to get the players he has on him team. Duncan is one of the most soft spoken players in the league. How can you tell he is a leader? You cant. Another thing that pisses me off is that some people say KG isnt clutch or doesnt show up in the playoffs. That is the most untrue thing I have ever heard in my life. Garnetts stats in the playoffs are AMAZING. You would not believe what he does. And yes, they are better than Duncans. Thats where the team comes into play considering Duncan has 2 titles and KG hasnt made it out of the 1st round. And I know stats dont mean everything, but stats also dont lie.

I doubt you just read all that, but its all true. And Kevin Garnett is the best player in the league. This topic may be a but old fashioned, but I dont care. You guys will have to deal with it. Now someone prove me wrong.

Garnett is the best player, I definetly agree, but I have different reason's why he is the best.

First of all, KG can fill up the box scores and we all know that. 24 PPG, 14 RPG, 5 APG night in and night out is just amazing. Stats do not lie is right and there is no other player with those kind of stats in the league, we havnt seen those kind of stats for over 10 years. One of my reasons why I think KG is the best is because he fills up the box score like no other player in the league.

Second of all, KG is a leader. There is not a leader as unselfish as Kevin Garnett which makes him in my mind the best leader in all of basketball. Duncan is great do not get me wrong, but Garnett just has the edge because of all the intensity he brings. He makes all of his teammates better. Just look at Cassell, he has been playing for 11 years now and now that he is on a team led by KG he is having a career year and a lot of it has to do with playing next to KG. And Spree, his stats have been dropping these past years but ever since he has been playing next to KG it is like he is rising like he did 3-4 years ago.

Thirdly, Kevin Garnett brings intensity to the game like nobody I have ever seen. He is so fired up and so ready to go out and play every night and all of his teammates feed off of that and it truley helps out the team. He has the intensity and the emotion that a true leader should have and that is just another reason why I think he is the best.

And lastly, but most important of all, is that KG can take over a game in more ways that you can think of. He has showed it many different times. December 5th in ARCO Arena against the Kings, all hopes were lost for the Wolves when they were down by 6 with 30 seconds to go. Well KG went back to the 3 point line and sunk a trey, then after Brad Miller missed to very important free throws KG goes back and hits another trey to send the game from overtime and he just took over from there and won the game for Minny. The next night at Staples Center against the Clippers, KG gets the inbound's pass with 2 seconds to go and with the game tied he pulls back for a fadeaway jumper over LA's best defender Elton Brand and sinks it right in his face. He can post up on anyone, which he really worked on over the summer. But the sweetest shot of all is his fadeaway jumper, it is literally impossible to guard because he is so tall that nobody can possibly block the shot and the defender can only pray that the shot doesnt go in.

Kevin Garnett is the most versatile player that has maybe ever played the game, which makes him in my mind the best player in the game today. KG4MVP.
