  I'm from Minnesota and I'll never forget the day my dad and I watched KG win his first ring in Boston. It was one of the first times I ever saw my dad cry genuine tears of joy. He did SOOOOO much for us in MN and we could never give him the help he needed. 21 got a special place in Minne!

  Really wonder what Kobe and KG could have done together. Garnett revealed that he wanted to play for the Lakers and even tried contacting Kobe to no avail to discuss it, but McHale didn&apos;t want to send him to LA for obvious reasons.

  I love KG. When he won with Boston, during his on court interview the first thing he said was “this is for everyone in Sota” &nbsp;I cried some manly tears.

  As a nearly 7 ft guy, his offensive bag was out of this world. Post, mid range, attacking the rim. Great scorer. But what sets him apart from others is his defensive skills, rebounding and rim protection. That guy was a monster

  KG one of the most skilled PF ever. His Defense was amazing and he was a top rebounder in the NBA. Great Rim protector and finisher at the rim. Used the post like no ever and could hit the Mid range. What a skilled player. Also a good playmaker. Garnett was like a way better defensive Chris Webber.

  Being from MN I love KG and watching him play. I was happy for him when he was traded to Boston because he was going to get his chance at a championship. But the thing that impresses me most is that he got HUGE money at such a young age and didn&apos;t f--k his life up. That shows character. At 21 years old he got 100 some odd million dollars and managed to keep his focus on why he was getting that money. I don&apos;t know if I would have been able to do the same. He more then pulled his weight when he was pissed at Taylor and McKale again shows character. Love the Kid!

  Few players with so much heart/skill in one body. One of the best to ever do it

  His conditioning was incredible. To play at such a high level, and still not stop trash talking for the entire game.
