I don't think he's from the United States, cut him some slack. As a Minnesotan, I understand that we as a state aren't significant enough for foreign recognition. And let's be honest, "Minnesota" sports teams are Minneapolis teams that are trying to be accommodating to St. Paul and the suburbs to gain the votes for stadiums and whatnot
it means that he did it all in one season each time example you could average 20 for 5 seasons then change your play style and get less points but average 5 assists for 5 seasons
Does Tim Duncan get any credit for keeping players like TP and Manu around to form the best big 3 of all time? Seriously most great teams break up because of money or egos but not Timmys big 3....wonder why
There is this kind of vibe/mindset with the spurs that probably would make it even unthinkable for them to ask to go away. They're a team, and teammates stay together. Apparently TP got countless demands from other teams to become their franchise player, yet he stayed in San Antonio. I'm not a spurs "fan" but I definitely respect them very much for how they're a team and not a mere gathering of players with the same jersey.
found your channel 3 days ago, already watched all your videos! as a brit with little to no exposure to the nba through my life, these videos are some of the best i've ever watched! easily my favourite channel
Prime KG > Prime TD Over the course of a career and the long run, ofc TD. But if you replaced them (if he got drafted to the Spurs and TD to the Wolves) KG would be in Duncan's spot, if you deny that then you are silly.
draders43 sample text KG is nowhere near Timmy's versatility especially scoring wise. The only thing KG had to score was that jump shot and dunking, he basically had almost no post game except an alright fadeaway.
Seriously don't know how you don't have more subscribers it's rare for a UA-camr to put this much effort and research into a video. I mean pretty big sporting news outlets posted about your James Harden video on Facebook. Keep up the good work Mike!
I kind of wished I was born earlier to see KG as a GOOD twolve. I'm a lakers fan and started watching when KG went to the Celtics so I always had a burning hatred for him as he was a Celtic. But the way he ended his career, the way he played his first and last game, the way he mentored KAT and other players, and how he didn't need the Kobe treatment when he announced retirement. He just walked away and called it career. I don't think I've ever gained so much respect for a man so fast...
As a die hard Timberwolves fan, thank you for your tribute to Big Ticket. Just looking at some of these comments, I'm shaking my head. I will first say no offense to Celtics fan, but no one understands what Garnett was about and how good he was in his prime more than MN fans. The dude literally played with garbage players and still took the Wolves to the play offs years after years. He is the most versatile big man to ever play the game. Yes, I stand by that statement. Dude could guard all 5 players literally. Remember TMac's outrageous scoring years? After KG GUARDED him, McGrady said Garnett was the best defender to ever guard him, EVER. A PF, guarding one of the best scoring guards ever, and that was the result! Unbelievable. During MN's run to the WCF, all our PG's got hurt and we ended up signing some dude off the street. But guess who ran PG? KG!!!!! Insane, and he gave us a real chance to win the series too. Now for the comparison to TD, well even I have to say TD is the better player, BUT you have to add in that Duncan played with HOF players and a HOF coach. While Duncan was running with David Robinson, KG had Rasho and Dean Garrett. While Duncan had a shut down defender in Bruce Willis, KG was running with Anthony Peeler. KG's best PG he ever played with was Sam Cassell. Duncan had Terry Porter, then Tony Parker. As for Marbury, well that actually wasn't the fault of MN but Marbury's dumbass himself saying he wanted to be traded after KG's big contract (which actually broke the CBA). Ticket left everything on the court EVERY NIGHT. Dude gave his heart and soul to basketball and to the fans. He even cried when our FO couldn't build a team around him. He wanted to win SO BAD. He is a legend and should be remember that way. It really is a shame that MN couldn't build around him (thanks a million to Stern for penalizing MN 5 first rounder with the Joe Smith scandal). KG is the reason I even care about the Wolves. He is my idol. It's a shame that his retirement meants nothing to fans, as they are too busy honoring Kobe and Duncan. But well, I supposed that's just like how his career went. Ain't nothing though, cause to us MN fans, KG will always be #1.
Lol are you a butt hurt fan of KG? His freaking one of the best in the world. And I'm not a butt hurt Duncan fan and I know KG is one of the best too but imagine KG playing in Spurs... A Loud Trash Talker in a City of the Quiet? He would be totally different cause Coah Popovich is there to teach his ass
And Duncan had years of team experience and team chemistry.... so thats what made it better for him as well. But KG didn't. Everytime team chemistry started or nearly starting a player got traded somewhere else then it wasn't their anymore. And then it was start from the begginig all over again
wow. thank you for this video. I was surprised you put his celtics legacy #1 but I totally agree. I just had both my kids at that period and spent every game sharing those moments with my family. I'll never forget the backboard and one, or the buzzer beater tip in alley oop 'throw'.
You left out the fact that KG is one of only four players in NBA history to lead a team in every major statistical average for a season. The others: Dave Cowens, Scottie Pippen, and LeBron James. That alone should be reason #6.
Dude what he said about Westbrook is true. Look at the 06 season. Kobe should've won the MVP. But they didn't win games. It's true. If you can't handle the truth it's your problem.
I swear man all these legends retiring make me wanna play NBA live 2003 and shit cause everybody was in there prime and so much talent around that time
I don't care what nobody say.... Kevin Garnett is the greatest PF of all time. Like dude said in the video Tim Duncan was on a better franchise Team so of course credit gonna go to the player thats on thr better Team. Garnett.... He was so good he went from highschool straight to the NBA. Then was a starter and lead the in points, Rebounds, and sometimes assist. For 12 season and he didn't have a good team either. If it wasn't for KG... Minnesota would've probably never even made it to the playoffs. Tim Duncan had decent or good people on his Team and he didn't lead his team in three categories cuz he had help. 3 of the seasons out of the 12 years KG played in Minnesota before he went to Boston he had pretty decent people on his team but the other 8 season he was pretty much a one man army. If KG played on a championship team from the start of his career or good franchise Team he would have at least had 4 to 7 rings.... maybe but not really 8. I could go on a lil longer but this is already long enough. I like both of them as big men and no disrespect to Tim Duncan but my hat goes of To KG. I think he got this one
Not gonna debate but Tim got comparable stats to KG while playing on a stacked team. That just say much about how Tim made SAS better not the other way around.
Ok you right but ask your self did lead his Team at least 3 categories for a certain amount of years. Kevin Garnett can shoot close Range, Midrange. He evrn shot a couple og rare 3's b4 and like Mike said... He paved the way for how some big men played the game but. It was a few forwards and centers that shot 3 b4 Garnett but KG was a lil more versatile and quick and had alot of intensity. He some what played point in Desperate situations when his Team needed him and still Rebounds and made assist a long with at least 1-2 blocks a game. He could've probably played the 3 guard his handles and court vision wasn't all that. If his court vision was better, and his handle was a lil better.... he would've been lethal. He wouldn't even have to work is 3point shot. He would've unstoppable in a scary way cuz I mean he was already a quick and real strong to be so skinny. So you figure it out. You still wanna go on with this topic. I mean I said no disrespect to Tim. Tim helped his in points, Rebounds, and play making pick and roll plays cuz He had a smart coach who knew what he was doing. The Timberwolves didn't and thats why they didn't get far until KG came. as you Seen in video KG was everythwhere and was quick for his size... I mean how many big men you know move like him. Tim wasn't everywhere and was slower. I aint knocking Tim for his success vut he had a better coach, better Team chemistry and more Team experience cuz for most of his career he had the same Team mates and game just become easier once you build that team brotherly bond and the whole 9 yards. KG couldn'tc cuz every season or couple of season somebody on his team hit traded so he had to start from the bottom and try to rebuild that Team brotherly bond and he lost a teammate that was real close to him that he started to build a bond with on and of the hard wood but that aint stop him... He still took over and lead his squad. So think about that. And what seperates the two is Tim never really tried to improve his game by working on midrange. Let just end it here cuz this shit is long and You get my point
As a lifetime Cavs fan watching KG was almost a guilty pleasure to me when he was on the Celtics, I used to love the matchups with Lebron, it's to bad he went to Brooklyn and that effectively ended his and Paul Pierce's career
Its even harder to watch him as a laker fan winning a championship against us and then to be forced to watch the replays and documentaries for a year was heartbreaking
I love your channel. It's cool to see people who love basketball like me. Most people around me love football, don't know shit about basketball. There's nothing more exciting than basketball.
As a wolves fan I have to admit that our franchise/management was absolute shit back then. With the talent we have right now this is the most excited I've been for the team since when KG was taking us to the playoffs
Garnett won't mesh. Duncan was a passive person and it let him become the locker room saint. This kept the Spurs core for years. I dunno if KG's Alpha dog personality on the court will keep Ginobili, Parker, and other core players.
"Might have gone down as one of the all-time greats." What the? Might have? He's not? Was there a statement issued? An e-mail? When exactly did his all-time legendarity get revoked and why?
One of my very close family members played with KG and I've hung with him a few times and I can attest to the fact that he's a really humble guy. And kinda goofy I might add.
Look who was guarding Andrew bynum after Perkins gone down rasheed Wallace? You really think the Lakers would have won game 6 if Perkins didn't get injured?
Haha your funny bro you really are. In 2010 Perkins got injured in the first six minutes of the first quarter the game was close at that point to tell me that it was a blow out already tells me you didn't watch the game... Bynum not on the Lakers in 2008 okay mister expert whatever you say
I am not a basketball fan and I don't know munch about it, but I am a subscriber, because the video ideas you think of and the amount of research you put in makes it so interesting. I really wish there were a UA-camr like this but based on baseball, maybe there is one, but I haven't found it yet.😂
LaPride247 Its okay to think KG is better than Duncan.. you're free to have your own opinion. But if you think Duncan is a bum... then you shouldn't be discussing anything basketball related.
I love tim, but most would take an athletic prime KG over duncan just off his versatile. Just like the Kobe, Lebron discussion. Kobe and tim are amazing, but you cant not take physical specimens like KG and Lebron.
The Spurs were at least a playoff contender prior to acquiring Duncan and had a history and had seen glory in the past. The Wolves were Garbage before Garnett and only a young franchise.
"Kind of very mean..." hahahaha. Hyper competitive in every aspect, Area 21 is great! You got a million bro, get Garnett on your channel!!!! That would be dope.
I don't think he's from the United States, cut him some slack. As a Minnesotan, I understand that we as a state aren't significant enough for foreign recognition.
Love kg one of my favourite players but I feel like he developed his work ethic surrounded by the untalented roster then went on to dominate if he was surrounded by stars from the beginning he wouldn't have had to work as hard... Same with lebron
Thats true. But thats what makes him and Lebron Great.... Legends. They had to do it on their own and carried their Team. Thats I take my hat of to both of them
Kakash Hatake bruh I'm obviously talking abt the the Lebron who played with Cleveland before he went to the heat. And no shit. I'm talking abt young Lebron who led his team to this playoff
Timmy D is better, the only reason why KG has slightly better stats is because he played more minutes and he shot the ball more times and Timmy D was always more effective and Timmy D won 5 rings, KG won 1 ring
Isaiah Thomas no, I just gave you reasons why he was better besides rings and when players are close in terms of ability, rings can be the decisive argument
Diogo Costa It can be but those reasons are so flawed, had Garnett been playing on that Spurs team with 2-3 other HOF's and arguably the GOAT coach, I think we would've all been calling Garnett the better PF, besides Garnett is a better scorer, rebounder and probably defender, like Korzemba said, he just had some terrible luck on his side, Duncan's achievements are significantly better because of his stacked team, I'm not saying Garnett is the better player, but had he been in Duncan's situation things would've went out differently.
Isaiah Thomas maybe so but what you and Korzemba are talking about are hypotheticals, we know that KG probably would have won 5 rings also but he didn't so this argument is also flawed
Diogo Costa What I said was a hypothetical but the stats prove that Prime Garnett is better then Prime Duncan from ages 23-30, Duncan has always had a 50+ team and a stacked team, it most likely would've been Garnett > Duncan if he had a stacked team for about 20 years and a HOF coach.
The moment when you realise you have to wait an ENTIRE DAY to watch a Mike Korzemba video PISSES ME OFF :( PLZ Upload daily Videos like this PLZ. 2k isnt enough WE NEED THis
Duncan was lucky to spend his full career with this awesome orgasination, you are right. That's also why it's not near as impressiv him beeing a one teamer as Nowitzki beeing one. Duncan was the centerpiece to build around. Others and you talked about declining numbers of stars who join a good or even super team. But Duncan had such a good team and still super high numbers! Garnett on the other hand was something between second or third guy on the team (boston). True a good motivator but didn't lead his team (wolves) in the finals or to a championship like Nowitzki did with a a simular orgasination. Fourthermore the "trashtalking god point" is craaaazy! He was clearly crossing the line in all this storys and seems to be one of the biggest assholes of all time with no respect for other players or employees. For all this reasons I would rank him No. 4 overall behind: Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki Sorry for bad writing, I'm a non nativ
Jan H Yeah he was drafted into a great organization but! Duncan and coach Pop made it the dominant and world class that Spurs are nowadays. Don't take for granted Duncan's improvements over the seasons nor his leadership by example, not by shouting.
Great video Mike! I always love these video, so great work! I do have an idea for a video, which would be about how underrated Ben Wallace is. As a quick example, Wallace was a 4 time defensive player of the year, but ESPN doesn't have him on their top 100 list. Thanks Mike!
Ok guys KG is a legend at all but theres no comparison between him and TD. Those saying if they switched teams KG would have just as many championships is ridiculous. Tim duncan is greatness and has the intangibles that KG doesn't have. No way KG wins 5 championships with the spurs
I agree with the intangible advantage that Duncan has, but its not like KG is WAY below Tim Duncan. KG's stats were remarkably close to Duncan's in their primes as shown in their video.
For their primes of their first 10 seasons with their teams, they are remarkably comparable to one one another. KG was legitimately one of the most impactful players in the league and always had teams that maybe had an ok 2nd option and then just mediocrity for the rest of the team. Theres no way that KG doesn't win at least 3 titles in SA with the type of player he was and the team he'd have around him if that's what he had to work with from the beginning. More versatile defender and more effective passer with a team like that definitely gets him championships. TD might be the best ever at the position "maybe" based on resume, but if it's a game of 1v1 when they're both 27 years old, I'm going with KG on that one.
I'm just saying Tim Duncan is great and to me is the 2nd greatest PF of all time but like he said in the video in their prime Kevin Garnett for a long time was better Tim Duncans game allow him to play longer but by no means is he better than Kevin Garnett overall game was way better than Tim Duncan in my opinion and a ring and championship takes a team and never has to do anything one on one and that's how I Judge in there prime who would win kg or td
Thank you, people don't remember what a prime KG was doing back in the day when he and Duncan were the power forwards. Just like they forget that Jermaine O'neal was the third best power forward when he played with the Pacers. Yes, even better than pau Gasol.
***** I don't just pay attention to accolades. And the stats show that in their primes, KG was better. Try again next time buddy. You can't just look at stats and rings. There's also coaches, teams, team mates, and other stuff to look at. Stats only tell half the story. If you didn't see them both play in their prime then just quit talking because anyone that seen them play in the primes don't NEED to look at their stats.

you should do a what if KG and Tim Duncan switched teams
Prime KG > Prime TD
Over the course of a career and the long run, ofc TD. But if you replaced them (if he got drafted to the Spurs and TD to the Wolves) KG would be in Duncan's spot, if you deny that then you are silly.
Oh, of course! Maybe not Duncan in his MVP season, but Garnett is a lot more versatile than Duncan.
draders43 sample text KG is nowhere near Timmy's versatility especially scoring wise. The only thing KG had to score was that jump shot and dunking, he basically had almost no post game except an alright fadeaway.

I kind of wished I was born earlier to see KG as a GOOD twolve. I'm a lakers fan and started watching when KG went to the Celtics so I always had a burning hatred for him as he was a Celtic. But the way he ended his career, the way he played his first and last game, the way he mentored KAT and other players, and how he didn't need the Kobe treatment when he announced retirement. He just walked away and called it career. I don't think I've ever gained so much respect for a man so fast...
As a die hard Timberwolves fan, thank you for your tribute to Big Ticket. Just looking at some of these comments, I'm shaking my head. I will first say no offense to Celtics fan, but no one understands what Garnett was about and how good he was in his prime more than MN fans.

Now for the comparison to TD, well even I have to say TD is the better player, BUT you have to add in that Duncan played with HOF players and a HOF coach. While Duncan was running with David Robinson, KG had Rasho and Dean Garrett. While Duncan had a shut down defender in Bruce Willis, KG was running with Anthony Peeler. KG's best PG he ever played with was Sam Cassell. Duncan had Terry Porter, then Tony Parker. As for Marbury, well that actually wasn't the fault of MN but Marbury's dumbass himself saying he wanted to be traded after KG's big contract (which actually broke the CBA).

that would be a great what if, what if Kevin garnett got drafted by the spurs and duncan got drafted by the wolves
Drastic Aura this right here
Minnesota wins 5 championships...
your tripping if you think Timmy could win with that team. he's not THAT good
Lol are you a butt hurt fan of KG? His freaking one of the best in the world.
And I'm not a butt hurt Duncan fan and I know KG is one of the best too but imagine KG playing in Spurs...
A Loud Trash Talker in a City of the Quiet? He would be totally different cause Coah Popovich is there to teach his ass
no I'm not a "butt hurt" KG fan. I'm just saying, that team that kg had was terrible
Tim Duncan had the better, more successful career, but imo Kevin Garnett was the better player.
And Duncan had years of team experience and team chemistry.... so thats what made it better for him as well. But KG didn't. Everytime team chemistry started or nearly starting a player got traded somewhere else then it wasn't their anymore. And then it was start from the begginig all over again
Alex McBuckets facts. Imagine if Garnett played with David Robinson earlier in his career.
tim Duncan had a better career cause he was a better player...he sacrificed to win idiot....
That's not true at all. Duncan was the better player and better person.
Tim Duncan was more dominant and a better leader
And that's why I will always appreciate KG, PP, and RA for bringing a title to Boston
Carlos Quiñones Perez and rondo...
rondo=trash
+Warriors Fan Rondo was a big piece bruh
rondo over curry for real
scal
wow. thank you for this video. I was surprised you put his celtics legacy #1 but I totally agree. I just had both my kids at that period and spent every game sharing those moments with my family. I'll never forget the backboard and one, or the buzzer beater tip in alley oop 'throw'.
You left out the fact that KG is one of only four players in NBA history to lead a team in every major statistical average for a season. The others: Dave Cowens, Scottie Pippen, and LeBron James. That alone should be reason #6.
It's 9/26
9+26=35
26-9=17
35-17=18
18 flipped is 81
81/27=3
81/81=1
31
3-1
The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So much math! Fuck math, Fuck the Warriors.

Trackball it wasn't 3-1.😂😂😂
Can you make a video on Tim Duncan?
+Fresh Lawn Cuts You don't know basketball then
+Fresh Lawn Cuts Bruh stfu
+Fresh Lawn Cuts you're just being ignorant cause some guy can't make a video about a player
he kinda of does have a point if KG was in spurs and TD in wolves we mightve seen KG as the greatest pf of all time
everyone of them sounds dumb as shit
Dude your channel is my favorite Channel. much love bro
Thanks Mike! Appreciate that my man
For sure bro. Just keep doing what you do my man
Nate McCoy mike is fucking annoying Westbrook hater piece of shit. His ugly ass never even shows his face
Dude what he said about Westbrook is true. Look at the 06 season. Kobe should've won the MVP. But they didn't win games. It's true. If you can't handle the truth it's your problem.
The one with Duncan's mom was messed up
I swear man all these legends retiring make me wanna play NBA live 2003 and shit cause everybody was in there prime and so much talent around that time
I don't care what nobody say.... Kevin Garnett is the greatest PF of all time. Like dude said in the video Tim Duncan was on a better franchise Team so of course credit gonna go to the player thats on thr better Team. Garnett.... He was so good he went from highschool straight to the NBA. Then was a starter and lead the in points, Rebounds, and sometimes assist. For 12 season and he didn't have a good team either. If it wasn't for KG... Minnesota would've probably never even made it to the playoffs. Tim Duncan had decent or good people on his Team and he didn't lead his team in three categories cuz he had help. 3 of the seasons out of the 12 years KG played in Minnesota before he went to Boston he had pretty decent people on his team but the other 8 season he was pretty much a one man army. If KG played on a championship team from the start of his career or good franchise Team he would have at least had 4 to 7 rings.... maybe but not really 8. I could go on a lil longer but this is already long enough. I like both of them as big men and no disrespect to Tim Duncan but my hat goes of To KG. I think he got this one
Not gonna debate but Tim got comparable stats to KG while playing on a stacked team. That just say much about how Tim made SAS better not the other way around.
Ok you right but ask your self did lead his Team at least 3 categories for a certain amount of years. Kevin Garnett can shoot close Range, Midrange. He evrn shot a couple og rare 3's b4 and like Mike said... He paved the way for how some big men played the game but. It was a few forwards and centers that shot 3 b4 Garnett but KG was a lil more versatile and quick and had alot of intensity. He some what played point in Desperate situations when his Team needed him and still Rebounds and made assist a long with at least 1-2 blocks a game. He could've probably played the 3 guard his handles and court vision wasn't all that. If his court vision was better, and his handle was a lil better.... he would've been lethal. He wouldn't even have to work is 3point shot. He would've unstoppable in a scary way cuz I mean he was already a quick and real strong to be so skinny. So you figure it out. You still wanna go on with this topic. I mean I said no disrespect to Tim. Tim helped his in points, Rebounds, and play making pick and roll plays cuz He had a smart coach who knew what he was doing. The Timberwolves didn't and thats why they didn't get far until KG came. as you Seen in video KG was everythwhere and was quick for his size... I mean how many big men you know move like him. Tim wasn't everywhere and was slower. I aint knocking Tim for his success vut he had a better coach, better Team chemistry and more Team experience cuz for most of his career he had the same Team mates and game just become easier once you build that team brotherly bond and the whole 9 yards. KG couldn'tc cuz every season or couple of season somebody on his team hit traded so he had to start from the bottom and try to rebuild that Team brotherly bond and he lost a teammate that was real close to him that he started to build a bond with on and of the hard wood but that aint stop him... He still took over and lead his squad. So think about that. And what seperates the two is Tim never really tried to improve his game by working on midrange. Let just end it here cuz this shit is long and You get my point
I know I'm late, but Karl Malone is the best power forward ever. No question.
Karl Malon didn't play a LICK of defense.
How long did it take you to type that
As a lifetime Cavs fan watching KG was almost a guilty pleasure to me when he was on the Celtics, I used to love the matchups with Lebron, it's to bad he went to Brooklyn and that effectively ended his and Paul Pierce's career
Its even harder to watch him as a laker fan winning a championship against us and then to be forced to watch the replays and documentaries for a year was heartbreaking
Rei Lacsina At least we got two titled after that one, but every loss to the Celtis is heartbreaking
Last time I was this early KG was on the celtics
KG is easily my Top 3 favorite players of all time! thank you for this.
I love your channel. It's cool to see people who love basketball like me. Most people around me love football, don't know shit about basketball. There's nothing more exciting than basketball.
As a wolves fan I have to admit that our franchise/management was absolute shit back then. With the talent we have right now this is the most excited I've been for the team since when KG was taking us to the playoffs
Still is and might always be
And the wolved blew it
And we fucked it up
DO A WHAT IF KEVIN GARNETT AND TIM DUNCAN PLAYED ON OPPOSITE TEAMS +Mike Korzemba
***** Duncan on T-Wolves and Garnett on Spurs
Jake Pearson good idea
Forget 5 titles pop would have atleast 8-10 in his trophy case rn
Garnett won't mesh. Duncan was a passive person and it let him become the locker room saint. This kept the Spurs core for years. I dunno if KG's Alpha dog personality on the court will keep Ginobili, Parker, and other core players.
kg was always a team first guy you need to learn your stuff
"Might have gone down as one of the all-time greats."
What the? Might have? He's not? Was there a statement issued? An e-mail? When exactly did his all-time legendarity get revoked and why?
One of my very close family members played with KG and I've hung with him a few times and I can attest to the fact that he's a really humble guy. And kinda goofy I might add.
Kevin Garnett was always one of my favorite players when I was younger. He and Iverson were pretty much the only players I wanted to watch. Loved KG.
Could you possible make a video about Dirk at some point? That would be awesome :)
Ok py
There are million of NBA fans that needs to suscribe to you
millions*
Daniel definitely
God I wish Kendrick Perkins didn't get injured in 2010 finals that is the only basketball regret I have for Pierce and Garnett.
like he would have made a difference
Look who was guarding Andrew bynum after Perkins gone down rasheed Wallace? You really think the Lakers would have won game 6 if Perkins didn't get injured?
He got injured during game 6 we was blowing them out anyways by the way the lakers did not have andrew bynum in the 2008 finals so stop making excuses
Haha your funny bro you really are. In 2010 Perkins got injured in the first six minutes of the first quarter the game was close at that point to tell me that it was a blow out already tells me you didn't watch the game... Bynum not on the Lakers in 2008 okay mister expert whatever you say
Andrew Bynum was drafted by the Lakers in 2005 so you should get your facts straight
That video of KG on the bench yelling "trash ass nigga" to Eric Gordon is the funniest thing I've ever seen 😂
I am not a basketball fan and I don't know munch about it, but I am a subscriber, because the video ideas you think of and the amount of research you put in makes it so interesting.
I really wish there were a UA-camr like this but based on baseball, maybe there is one, but I haven't found it yet.😂
KG's great and all.. But I'm still taking Tim Duncan over him any day of the week
In their prime you would be foolish to do that.
Prime Tim and Old Tim > KG
I love when people say that like theyre a time traveling bball gm
LaPride247 Its okay to think KG is better than Duncan.. you're free to have your own opinion. But if you think Duncan is a bum... then you shouldn't be discussing anything basketball related.
I love tim, but most would take an athletic prime KG over duncan just off his versatile. Just like the Kobe, Lebron discussion. Kobe and tim are amazing, but you cant not take physical specimens like KG and Lebron.
when Duncan was selected by the spurs, the spurs where not a successful team.
Duncan with coach Greg P. made the spurs a great team.
They kinda were they were a playoff team it just that david Robinson got injured
I love Julie And Hakeem 😂
The Spurs were at least a playoff contender prior to acquiring Duncan and had a history and had seen glory in the past. The Wolves were Garbage before Garnett and only a young franchise.
Bro that’s a lie
Do a what if Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan switched teams
Mike, as a life long Celtics fan and die hard KG lover, thanks for this video
"Kind of very mean..." hahahaha. Hyper competitive in every aspect, Area 21 is great! You got a million bro, get Garnett on your channel!!!! That would be dope.
Dirk>Garnett
JaVale McGoat W
L. Garnett was just as good offensively as well as a way better defender and rebounder
L

W
ANY THING IS POSSIBLE!
Kevin Garnett is the best PF p.s Tim is good but he's no best
PF in history he's next to kg
Scal IS THE BEST BRU
Favorite player of all time cause hes really the only goat my team has seen. Love KG forever. Glad he got a ring.
wen u was naming wat KG did under the trash talk god, i was crying. Damn that man is a savage
The Mother’s Day thing was messed up
That's the second time Mike said city of Minnesota.
At least the Green Bay State Packers have Aaron Rodgers.
Luke Amendolara yeah but the Vikings are better
Luke Amendolara uhh wrong state...
I don't think he's from the United States, cut him some slack. As a Minnesotan, I understand that we as a state aren't significant enough for foreign recognition.
Marcus Jahn Im from New York, I said the Packers because the OP has a Wisconsin avatar with a big packers logo :P
City of Minnesota?!?!?!?!?!
Your content continues to be top notch. Keep up the good work man.
As a major Celtics fan, I loved watching Kevin Garnett and the big 3 in the 2008 season
Just gonna throw Dirk into the PF discussion
We don't like players that don't play defense
boi
Same
Dirk actually won a championship with no talent around him at the age of 35 unlike KG who choked his entire career without 2 other top 10 players
Jason kidd?!
Love kg one of my favourite players but I feel like he developed his work ethic surrounded by the untalented roster then went on to dominate if he was surrounded by stars from the beginning he wouldn't have had to work as hard... Same with lebron
Benton Lott good point
Thats true. But thats what makes him and Lebron Great.... Legends. They had to do it on their own and carried their Team. Thats I take my hat of to both of them
Ibn Samad Muhammad Lebron had wade , bosh , Mario and allen
Kakash Hatake bruh I'm obviously talking abt the the Lebron who played with Cleveland before he went to the heat. And no shit. I'm talking abt young Lebron who led his team to this playoff
Kakash Hatake He played with Cavs for the first 7 seasons with cavs and just recently went back to the cavs in 2014
"City of Minnesota"
"The earth is flat"
Honestly KG should write a book about all the trash talk stories and all the stuff he said to other players. I know I'd buy it.
been a loyal subscriber and your videos just keep getting better and better! keep grinding man!
Kg Best power forward of All time....sorry tim
Shovel gang reppin'313 what not eveen
The trash talk God is Larry Bird
Zyraxx Gary payton
Larry LEGEND!!
Make a video of why the Warriors won't win this year
but they probably will
Shane Scolaro but they very well could not without all there depth
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
KG was my fav player once MJ retired in 99. Just a beast.
I always love these videos! Even if I know all the info I still enjoy it. Thanks Mike.
What if Kevin Garnett switched teams with Tim Duncan
5 plus titles easily ill take prime KG over tim duncan any day of the week, its sad that loyalty is what caused kevin garnett the most
Timmy D is better, the only reason why KG has slightly better stats is because he played more minutes and he shot the ball more times and Timmy D was always more effective and Timmy D won 5 rings, KG won 1 ring
Diogo Costa Rings don't define a player, do you think Robert Horry is better than LeBron?
Isaiah Thomas no, I just gave you reasons why he was better besides rings and when players are close in terms of ability, rings can be the decisive argument
Diogo Costa It can be but those reasons are so flawed, had Garnett been playing on that Spurs team with 2-3 other HOF's and arguably the GOAT coach, I think we would've all been calling Garnett the better PF, besides Garnett is a better scorer, rebounder and probably defender, like Korzemba said, he just had some terrible luck on his side, Duncan's achievements are significantly better because of his stacked team, I'm not saying Garnett is the better player, but had he been in Duncan's situation things would've went out differently.
Isaiah Thomas maybe so but what you and Korzemba are talking about are hypotheticals, we know that KG probably would have won 5 rings also but he didn't so this argument is also flawed
Diogo Costa What I said was a hypothetical but the stats prove that Prime Garnett is better then Prime Duncan from ages 23-30, Duncan has always had a 50+ team and a stacked team, it most likely would've been Garnett > Duncan if he had a stacked team for about 20 years and a HOF coach.
he hasn't beaten brain scale in a 1v1 so he isn't a legend
You mean Bri Scal?
yea but your not allowed to spell his full name under UA-cam videos
***** Why?
best.in.the.world you can't spell his full name cause UA-cam auto corrects it too goat
mike you're a G keep up the good work and thanks for all the hard work you do
The moment when you realise you have to wait an ENTIRE DAY to watch a Mike Korzemba video PISSES ME OFF :( PLZ Upload daily Videos like this PLZ. 2k isnt enough WE NEED THis
Duncan was lucky to spend his full career with this awesome orgasination, you are right. That's also why it's not near as impressiv him beeing a one teamer as Nowitzki beeing one.
Duncan was the centerpiece to build around. Others and you talked about declining numbers of stars who join a good or even super team. But Duncan had such a good team and still super high numbers! Garnett on the other hand was something between second or third guy on the team (boston). True a good motivator but didn't lead his team (wolves) in the finals or to a championship like Nowitzki did with a a simular orgasination.
Fourthermore the "trashtalking god point" is craaaazy! He was clearly crossing the line in all this storys and seems to be one of the biggest assholes of all time with no respect for other players or employees.
For all this reasons I would rank him No. 4 overall behind: Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki
Sorry for bad writing, I'm a non nativ
Jan H Yeah he was drafted into a great organization but! Duncan and coach Pop made it the dominant and world class that Spurs are nowadays. Don't take for granted Duncan's improvements over the seasons nor his leadership by example, not by shouting.
the "city" of Minnesota?
umm, What's the "Honey Nut Cheerios" situation.
He told Melo that his wife tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios.
betodrift1996 jesus kg a true savage
Melo was HEATED. Tried to fight him in the game, and then after the game he was waiting for him outside the Celtics bus. Melo wanted them hands.
wtf 😂😂😂
LOL
Great video Mike! I always love these video, so great work! I do have an idea for a video, which would be about how underrated Ben Wallace is. As a quick example, Wallace was a 4 time defensive player of the year, but ESPN doesn't have him on their top 100 list. Thanks Mike!
Just got introduced to this channel. Awesome stuff. Subscribed.
I love you man, but come on really?? "The City of Minnesota?" Really dude?
Ok guys KG is a legend at all but theres no comparison between him and TD. Those saying if they switched teams KG would have just as many championships is ridiculous. Tim duncan is greatness and has the intangibles that KG doesn't have. No way KG wins 5 championships with the spurs
He may not win 5, but he'll have ended his career with more than 1 that's for sure.
kg popovich and david robinson at least win a ring together...not sure how manu and tony parker would mesh with kg though....
I agree with the intangible advantage that Duncan has, but its not like KG is WAY below Tim Duncan. KG's stats were remarkably close to Duncan's in their primes as shown in their video.
For their primes of their first 10 seasons with their teams, they are remarkably comparable to one one another. KG was legitimately one of the most impactful players in the league and always had teams that maybe had an ok 2nd option and then just mediocrity for the rest of the team. Theres no way that KG doesn't win at least 3 titles in SA with the type of player he was and the team he'd have around him if that's what he had to work with from the beginning. More versatile defender and more effective passer with a team like that definitely gets him championships. TD might be the best ever at the position "maybe" based on resume, but if it's a game of 1v1 when they're both 27 years old, I'm going with KG on that one.
Both Dirk and Duncan are better
Leon Jacobi kg a better all around player than dirk
Kg is better
this is a really good video, you really summed up his greatness
These videos are really entertaining, keep it up man
if u think Tim Duncan is better than kg you don't know basketball
Black Shades Johnny Cage Yaaaaaaay!!! I'm happy to know that just because my opinion differs from yours that I don't know ANYTHING about basketball
I'm just saying Tim Duncan is great and to me is the 2nd greatest PF of all time but like he said in the video in their prime Kevin Garnett for a long time was better Tim Duncans game allow him to play longer but by no means is he better than Kevin Garnett overall game was way better than Tim Duncan in my opinion and a ring and championship takes a team and never has to do anything one on one and that's how I Judge in there prime who would win kg or td
Thank you, people don't remember what a prime KG was doing back in the day when he and Duncan were the power forwards. Just like they forget that Jermaine O'neal was the third best power forward when he played with the Pacers. Yes, even better than pau Gasol.
***** I don't just pay attention to accolades. And the stats show that in their primes, KG was better. Try again next time buddy. You can't just look at stats and rings. There's also coaches, teams, team mates, and other stuff to look at. Stats only tell half the story. If you didn't see them both play in their prime then just quit talking because anyone that seen them play in the primes don't NEED to look at their stats.
Looks like you don't know your basketball you stupid dumbshit nigga.
Insane amount of detail in your videos. Wow I'm blown away
Great video, I've always had him as my favorite sportsman and idol, and I've felt as he's been underappreciated by many
''according to basketball legedn Brian Scalabrine...'' You sir just earned another subscriber
