KG is not even similar to Dirk. He has a much better post game, is a much better rebounder, is worlds ahead defensively, and he draws double and triple teams constantly.
I know a lot more than you clearly if you don't know the difference between a player on the low block finding open teamates and one who plays a lot on the permiter. Ask Dirk about that worked real well for him against the Warriors.

And who would Minnesota be getting from that third team? If it's Boston, you'd have to think that the Wolves would demand Jefferson + more. But why would Boston essentially trade Jefferson for Marion?
A three team deal sounds great until you have to actually start working it out...
LOL find me footage where KG is being triple teamed all the time i dare you. Who triple teams a guy who takes 2 steps in the paint and then shoots a fadeaway jumpshot? He has never been guarded like Duncan and Shaq have because he is not a low post player and it is harder for him to make his mates better.
That actually hurts your argument. Every player loses athleticism by 35, so it's the guys who have better fundamentals and are more crafty who can still be productive players. Guys who have relied on superior athletic ability tend not to age well.
That said, I don't care whether it's Duncan, Shaq, KG, or Nash - you just can't expect any player to still be a star at 35 years old. Every now and then, there is a guy who maintains his level for that long (i.e. Jordan, Hakeem), but they are quite rare and certainly not something that you can expect.
He is better than Dirk i agree but his offensive game is not better than Dirks or much more effective in making people better. Maybe it is a little better because sometimes he is in the post but not often enough.
lmao!!! ur still wrong....so the open man they swing it to shoots it and if they make it..it counts as an assist!!! wow ur making urself look stupid...do u even kno what an assist is??? its when u pass the ball to somebody who scores!!! learn how to spell (perimeter) wow ur stupider than i thought...ur mad that im schooling u
o really...so why has garnett aged better than tim duncan?? maybe because tims body has been through alot longer seasons and what not!!! and 35 is just the magic number or what?? u act like garnett does not have any fundamentals..
please do not ever compare dirk to garnett ever again..u dont kno baskeball if u think they similar....
Garnett averages far more assists than Dirk and Timmy every year, so I dont know how that argument holds any weight
please do not ever compare dirk to garnett ever again..u dont kno baskeball if u think they are similar....
Wow you really can't read can you? I am talking about guys in the low block that get doubled all the time and pass the ball it often swings around the perimiter to the open MAN. I never said that counts as an assist asshole, but if it gets the job done who the cares who is credited for the assist. That is much more effective than a guy on the outside passing the ball and getting the assist to say a man cutting to the hoop because time and again on the low block someone like Tim and Shaq will be doubled and get guys wide open shots. KG does not play like that PERIOD!!!
Welcome to the conversation re i am saying they could not be more different.
KG does play in the post and does pass out of double and triple teams all the time. While he doesn't play like Shaq or Timmy, both of those guys are the best of the best. It's stupid to compare them.
Your right KG is not on their level which is why i don't see him being the difference in Phoenix.
dbreiden83080 lemme break it down to u buddy.....tim duncan is a great passer..one of the best in the league...but garnett can create more for himself and others it says so by his assists numbers..why do u think jkidd and nash are so good..i really dont think u kno how effective an assist is..its like scoring for urself...ur responsible of putting pts on the board..now duncan does spend alot of time on the block and thats because he really cant play on on the outside..garnett can do both...numbers dont lie
Shaq sucks now, no way hes better than KG. It doesnt really sound like youve seen KG play too often
So by that logic Jason Kidd makes his team much better around him than Duncan does because he has more assists. I am talking about that does not show up on the stat sheet but is vital to winning.
So because he isn't a top fifteen all time player in the history of basketball he won't be the difference?
why people should watch Minesota ?they suck.
I am talking about prime Shaq. Yeah KG is better now by far but not when Shaq was winning les he isn't.
LOL did you just say KG is as good on the low block as Duncan? Cancel your account and go into hiding pal.![]()
Duncan hits 20 ft bank shots and straight on jumpers almost at will.
ya ur right the suns will have two of the best tim duncan defenders on their team (kurt thomas and garnett) and that wont make a difference if they face the spurs...
Top 10 ever is Duncan and Shaq but KG will make them better but le better i don't know about that especially since that means bye bye Amare and more to get him.
Are you this ing dumb? You do realize that they play two different positions, and yes, Kidd makes his teamates better just because hes a point guard, thats his job
