I hope you know they've all been to at least 3 All Star games and they've all averaged at least 20 ppg for more than 2 seasons. They're not even close to being overrated. But I don't think Steve Nash should have won 2 MVP awards.KG, let's be real now. What has he done ever without a team of Hall of Famers? I know he helped the Celtics win that championship and he's a great scorer and defender but he's another one of those players that dissipates in important games, even DURING the C's championship run. To me, Kevin Garnett is the greatest complimentary player of all time. You can't win something with him alone, but surround him with great players that have the balls to take shots in important games and you'll go places.
What has KG done?? KG was arguably the best player in the league during the early 2000's and kept the talentless timberwolves in playoff contention for nearly a decade. His supporting cast consisted of joe smith, wally, rasho, ervin johnson, old cassell and sprewell.... The talent on that team w/o KG is comparable to that of the miami heats supporting cast yet,not only were the wolves a 50 win team for several seasons, they went on to have the best record in the west and KG finally got his MVP trophy 4 years overdue. He was the go to guy in the clutch for the wolves and his low post and all around play was unstoppable down the stretch - he singlehandedly took the wolves past the kings in 7 games and into the conference finals while cassell sat on the bench with an old hip. Before all the talk about how kobe/wade/lebron had no help, garnett was THIS guy before any of them. KG has accomplished more virtually alone more than anyone else this past decade. And the FIRST SEASON when he finally did get some hlep, he went on to win a championship along with back to back 60 win seasons
