(6 straight seasons of 5 apg for a PF, that is Larry Bird type stuff except without the passing to McHale and Parrish, KG gets to, I mean used to pass to crap.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709352781990698941.post-36347751374494027072007-11-26T11:36:00.000-08:002007-11-26T11:36:00.000-08:00Interesting debate.

KG has definitely been underrated because of the terrible teammates he's had over the years and I think he is one of the great PF's of all time, but Duncan just has too many rings to put him over Garnett. Duncan is more of a traditional scorer as you noted, where KG gets most of his points of jump shots and fadeaways.<BR/><BR/>That said, I dont think the C's should KG in the low post as he is much more effective at seeing the floor and passing from the high post. He's also harder to double there.Rhymeswithmayonnaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021796132465220031noreply@blogger.com
