KG is still the greatest Timberwolf of all time, but it wouldn’t take much more than another WCF appearance for Ant to pass him. All things can be true: love Ant, love KG, Ant says stupid shit, KG responded with something that’s also dumb

ANT has a great start for sure!

A ring for Ant would tip the scales.
Until Ant can drag a bunch of misfit toys to the playoffs 4 years in a row, he is below KG. Getting to the playoffs with 2 other All nba talents is a different story than what KG had to do.

Amazing.
Now all Ant needs between now and the end of his career is 13 more all-star berths, 8 more all-NBA teams, 12 more all-defensive teams, a DPOY, an all-star game MVP, an MVP, and a ring and he’ll have matched KG’s career awards.
I think Ant has the potential to be the most important player this franchise has ever had, but there’s just zero chance he will ever reach KG’s accolades.
Shit, if he finished his career with even half the accolades KG has, we’d all be through the roof ecstatic.

ANT is on a better trajectory career wise and team success wise with our Wolves but KG remains the best player in our history as of right now…. Let’s see what ANT can do this season….
yup_goodtimes
It’s crazy how Ants supporting cast is so far superior than anything KG ever had. The Sam big balls year was close…. but Taylor really fucked KGs opportunity to win in Minny.

KG can have the better individual career so long as Ant’s teams do more. I’m not in it for a singular player to do well. I want the Minnesota Timberwolves to do well.
Plus post career kg rubs me the wrong way. Like he’ll occasionally pat the Wolves fan base on the back while making out with the Celtics fan base just out of eye. We think he’s OUR one, but he’s moved on. Can’t be bothered to align himself with the Wolves for anything more than an Instagram like.
I don’t care if it’s Taylor’s fault or KG’s they both clearly share blame. Like he couldn’t even go to a playoff game? Get over yourself and just enjoy the fruit of what you helped build.

KG was never a huge scorer, I think his career high is like 48 but I’m pretty sure he scored 40+ only a handful of times in his career. Rarely went 30+ even, and a lot of games he’d have less than 20 but yeah, maybe like 11 or 12 rebounds, 5 or 6 assists, and like 2-3 blocks/steals apiece. Ant’s scoring numbers will definitely surpass KG’s and I’m sure that will cause a lot of casual fans to regard him as way better, especially as time passes and those casual fans get younger and younger. But KG carried his teams in a way I don’t know if Ant could do. And that does come down to size/position/role in a lot of ways, but it’s still true. I love them both but as I grow older I anticipate having to defend KG more and more haha
If Ant brings a championship parade through Minneapolis I think I would finally be able to accept his surpassing of KG in the all-time ranks, but I don’t know what else could do it for me haha. Theres personal bias there for sure

Old head bias is becoming a problem (I’m speaking in general)
