genaro008 - Ask any GM in the league who they would take and in what order as of today and I guarantee KG wont be in the top 3.

CASox - please try and stay with the conversation. Talk about being dense. As I previously stated, this is just for you:::::
You must have missed this which I posted earlier - -
Wade, in his prime led his team to the Finals in 2006, RA, in his prime never led the Supersonics anywhere except to the occasional playoffs.
Wade>RA
Howard, in his prime led his team to the 2009 Finals. KG, in his prime never led the T'wolves anywhere except to the occasional playoffs.
Howard />KG
Lebron, in his prime led his team to the Finals in 2007, PP, in his prime led the Celtics to a 24-58 season before the arrival of RA and KG. Embarassing and pathetic.
Lebron />PP

Take the two out of three and be happy with it. KG is better than Howard. He will not improve much. Can't shoot FT's, and had a better supporting cast than KG. But look who I'm talking to......still think lakers fans are smarter THEN Celtics fans?
Whatever happened to that post, anyway. I was just getting started!!

Are you kidding me? Shaq was no where near his prime in 2006. And who were the outstanding supporting casts that Lebron and Howard played with? KG had a better supporting cast with the 2001 & 2002 T'wolves, and they could not even reach the Finals, and yet there are Celtic fans here claiming he is the best of all the players listed. Unbelievable.

You`re so tiresome.Don`t you have any friends? No one will play with you on a Laker board? Not surprising. Only a tool prances around the message board of a team he/she/it doesn`t root for.

In their PRIMES, KG would not stand a change of stopping Dwight on the offensive end of the floor (KG=too small and skinny), but Dwight could and can shut down KG on both ends. I'm just sayin'

Howard could not stop Garnett on defense. He is a perimeter defender, and would not even venture out to stop KG's outside shooting. Didn't we all agree that this comparison is useless because they play different positions?
KG in his prime vs anyone now playing is a waste. He is better than any of them. You'd have to go back to McHale or Barkley or Malone to find someone at the 4 that he is comparable to.
And, just for the record - if Bynum has 2 rings, and Howard has none, why are the lakers trying so hard to get him. I mean, since he has only led his team to the Finals once, doesnt' that make Bynum the better player??
lakers fans, gotta love 'em!

At the beginning of this thread, I knew KG was more a PF, but throughout his career I thought he had played enough Center at Minn. and Boston to possibly make a comparison. Besides they are both long and listed as the same heighth. KG eventually filled out at 250 lbs.
Although not as strong as Howard, KG in his prime was quicker than Howard and like Dwight still plays the outstanding defense around the basket. Both extremely athletic. Both in their primes, rated outstanding for rebounding ability. Howard is a couple rebounds per game better for career total. On offense, Garnett in his prime was obviously the better player. His post up moves and ability to hit shots inside and outside is superior.
I change my opinion on this one. Because Dwight Howard has not had the opportunity to play alongside other superstars, I now think it is possible they are even
.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST ALL GET ALONG?

Duncan would be the only one who would give him trouble. He's so fundamentally sound. I also believe that unless you count DeJuan Blair or Antonio McDyess, Duncan has been the Center on that team since Robinson retired.........NOW - Duncan vs Howard is also a no-brainer - Duncan all the way!!

So - it is decided:
Wade over Ray
MeBron over Pierce
Duncan over Howard
and KG in a class by himself- except for McHale, Barkley and Malone!

I see you are changing your tune, as well you should. Duncan is by far, the superior player. KG played for the T'wolves who were good in the early 2000's. KG just could not get past the Lakers back then. Dwight Howard at least got his team to the Finals while playing in his PRIME. Also Pau Gasol outrebounded KG 18 to 3 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals - the BIGGEST game of both their careers, and you Celtic fans call Pau soft. 
I will say that KG was a very good player in his PRIME, but he is no Malone, Barkley, DUNCAN, or Gasol.

Redley34 - "KG vs Duncan is at best a wash - many great players never led their teams to the Finals - you are overlooking the overall game, as usual!"
------------------------------
Dumbest quote EVER! And you call yourself a basketball fan.
Any true "knowledgeable" NBA fan would absolutely disagree with your ignorant quote. KG is not even in the top 5 at the PF position. Tim Duncan is in the top 3.

Sorry to have to school you, but my list is much more in touch with reality.
Malone, Pettit, Duncan, Malone, Barkley, Hayes, Nowitzki, Debusschere, KG
Thanks for playing though!

D Wade won his team a championship.. gotta give him the edge over Ray.
Pierce shoots better than Lebron, but Lebron does everything else better... gotta go Lebron.
Howard and Garnett play different positions... but right now I'd say Garnett, however, Howard should pass him up as well.

Usually a fan's opinion about their players needs to be taken with a grain of salt. In this case, however, you're gonna need the whole store.
