@LeBran Flakes especially Game 5 when I thought that they would finish the Finals off, but yes he did save his best for last

KG deserves the final MVP. His defense and he was punishing Gasol. Lakers had to end up double team him to free up Pierce and Allen. Reason why Celtics won that finals.

The only reason Paul piece because of game one where pierce was wheeled out and then came back for a great performance but we all know what really happened

@LeBran Flakes I’m just a big reason he got finals is how heroic he looked in game 1

He's only behind duncan

stratton barbee i appreciate your comment. It means alot. Thank you.

I thought of that exact number as well! Four! Alot of people don't know or overlooked the fact that Sam Cassell was injured during the 2004 western conference finals. He was a very important player for the Timberwolves that year. It still would have been tough to beat both the Lakers and Pistons, but I think they would have done it. Then 3 in a row with the Celtics from 08-10 if he wasn't injured in 2009. Sometimes it's just luck, injuries and who you are fortunate to play with. If Garnett had as much luck as some of his peers he would have at least 4 championships in my opinion.

The Big Ticket over the Big Fundamental for me. Sure Tim may had the better overall game and career but KG just screamed basketball, he exemplified the heart of the game and that's what he had the best. Heart.

well said, to me if he had the rings, he's the greatest PF of all time

@@Dinrad360 to me, Tim only had the rings and blocked shots over KG, everything else KG was better at and was more athletic

Would of won 3 in a row if he didn't get hurt

@@kgf.o.e4129 Precisely

Thx son 👊🏿🙏🏿

Ahhh man Duncan vs Garnett in the finals 🔥

No doubt

This kind of Celtic? Spurs wouldnt stand a chance The only team who can hold them of the last 2 decade is Piston 2004 and maybe KD Warriors

Pierce and Ray would of gave it to the spurs. Especially since Kawhi not there.

KG is a much much much better defender than KD

KG is never as smooth as KD in offense. KD plays like a shooting guard. KG plays like a small forward. never really post up. just one or 2 dribble and shoot his mid-range. but in defense, KG is a ferocious defender. great rebounder. very sound defense. very hard to shoot over KG. he ever made tim duncan worked hard to get off his shot.

I feel like Kevin Durant is what Kevin Garnett would have been if he didn't get injured

No... KG is one of the most loyal players in history you can't say that to the other guy...

Love this storyline coach rivers hides the cash in la and he knew to win this thing we gotta comeback through la se he set the tone gave em a vision it's time to turn it on and they had the right leaders the right coach at the right age and time

Karl Malone was a monster, and my man Kevin McHale, well if Charles Barkley says that McHale was the best PF he played against that is good enough for me. The three you have listed are monsters too picking a top 5 or even 10 at any position is extremely difficult. In my opinion basketball in the '80s and for the most part the 90s was a big boy sport. Those dudes beat the shit out of each other. I mean they would get in fist fights and not even get thrown out of the game let alone a technical foul call. Nowadays players are pampered and babied overpaid prima donnas, and if you breathe on them wrong they call a foul. I mean if you didn't come out of a playoff game bleeding then you weren't playing. Those games were so much fun to watch, and those players earned their money. So I'm always going to give the nod to players from the '80s and '90s because of the heart and soul and blood sweat and tears that they put into every game.

Cant forget about Malone

@@ReservoirPunk he'd have a stronger case if he could beat mj in the finals

@@king0fcrown575 nobody could beat MJ in the finals lol

Kg was better than duncan

He was starving for that championship.

Think they should of let him come back in December or January because of that prior Injury, Kg in 2012 would smoked that La team in 2010 he was literally peak whe they played him at the 5

Totally agree. KG was def the most accomplished player in the league at the time to have not won a ring, mainly due to circumstance up the there in Minnesota. It was about time he got that opportunity. Although paul pierce got finals mvp, i thought kg played just as well in this series, was very consistent throughout. It was a tough loss to accept, that game 4 blown lead was crushing. LA had a legit chance to win that series, tied 2-2 w g5 at home. Instead theyre down 3-1. Boston was undoubtedly the better and hungrier team tho. I dont think they were going to be denied that year. They were like how the lakers were in ‘09, just straight determined to complete their ultimate mission at all costs. Kobe and kg on the same team would have been greatly intriguing, believe there were talks in ‘07ish. Pau turned out to be that guy tho. Kinda like kg, no real success in memphis, got his opp in LA. Both guys came out as champs.

domcarter I couldn’t have said it better myself. That game 4 loss was a serious bed wetting moment for LA. I rewatched that game, and their bench killed us, namely Posey and House. Definitely the tougher team. I’m just glad they got it done in ‘10. But overall, had Kobe lost to anybody else, I’d be more pissed. No shame at all losing to KG

@@dcshow KGs career derailing injury in 09 and Perkins absence in 2010 Gave Kobe and Gasol those 2 titles.

@@jeffross9982 don’t forget Ariza n Bynum was hurt int these finals

Deserved?

I think kg is more athletic than ad tbh and less injury prone

Should’ve been

Not anymore... 🦌🇬🇷

Yo he was never the same man 😩😩😩😩

@@patrickbello8130 he was the same player but in 2010 season he reinjured it then he wasn't the same player

Facts

Couldve had atleast 3-4 rings with 2 finals mvp on his resume. couldve been so so far ahead of anybody besides duncan and maybe giannis because his career is still going

@@woo_shynen8805 facts

Youre welcome 👌🙏

For real as a lakers fan that game is humiliating the Celtics dominated

He was

No wayyy!! Larry bird??
