    Only thing surprising about this clip is that he isn’t shouting obscenities at everyone

    Such a unicorn he doesn’t get enough credit because he would have been able to show more of his skillset in this era. Those deep jumpers would be threes, his passing was solid – he would create more. He’d be an INSANE 5 in the current NBA

    Vince Carter with hair will always look weird to me

    KG is underrated on this sub. All of the younger kids seem to think Dirk was better because of his magical finals run, but there is no comparison.

    Jason Kidd with the full court press lol

    For anybody curious about the matchups:

    #4 Steve Smith

    #9 Vince Carter

    #15 Shareef Abdur-Rahim

    #5 Jason Kidd

    Then Carter and Abdur-Rahim again.

    Big ticket was damn near unstoppable, and forget scoring on him

  8. Dude had such a high release point on his jumper, along with being a 7 footer (almost). His mid-range felt automatic, thought it was going in every time he shot the ball.

    He averaged at least 20/10/5 for 6 seasons straight, which at the time, was insane to think about.

    I think a lot of people nowadays only remember him playing in Boston, where he was slowly declining. They don’t remember how good he really was.

    Incredible. First time I’ve seen him so calm and retrained, and he’s schooling the top players in the world. What a waste of all his years with mediocre teams in MIN

    Never forgive him for him getting adam Sandler murdered

    i’ve never been a fan of KG’s personality. I thought he was a fake tough guy and was a bit over-the-top with his persona. but separating his persona from his actual abilities, KG to me is the most talented PF to ever play the game.

    No, he did not achieve anywhere near the level of his biggest counterpart, Tim Duncan. but on a piece of paper, in terms of their abilities and natural athleticism, KG was, IMO, the more skilled player. And I believe you could plug KG into more systems than Duncan, and I believe that if somehow they both played in today’s game, KG would be more valuable and the better player than Duncan.

    Crazy to think Kobe and KG almost were on the same team. The intensity would have been insane in practice and games.

    I miss watching KG play. His turnaround fadeaway in the post was money

  14. mayonnaisemarv

    That KG 20 foot jumper was so deadly

  15. RealPrinceJay

    KG was a terror in his era, he’d be even better today

  16. DesignerOk8945

    Only if DA and AD had KG motor they could be great

  17. ImanShumpertplus

    i will die on the hill that KG is the best power forward of all time

  18. KG was such a stud. My favorite players are all PFs from this era: KG, Dirk, Marion, Duncan

  19. A KG crossover is like 3 people’s body width
