I haven't checked the blog in awhile and I could not have been more pleasantly surprised to read this as your last entry. I have spoken with many noble Twolves fans and they all agree with your sentiment, with myself leading the way. And Kevin Garnett is the best player in the league and it pains me to see his unlimited talent wasted on such a dismal team. I appreciate the KG love Jimbo. Although I'm very concerned that with him out for the rest of the year, we've seen his last game in a Timberwolves jersey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387206764876618715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38641062.post-61487918030895281052007-04-12T08:13:00.000-04:002007-04-12T08:13:00.000-04:00I honestly wouldn't choose anybody on that list ex...I honestly wouldn't choose anybody on that list except Lebron, and I would only pick him because of his youth. <BR/><BR/>Garnett can't score more on a bad team because he's a post player with no point guard and Ricky Davis. Also he's unselfish. <BR/><BR/>Plus, out of all the players you named, none of them can play defense. Garnett is arguably the best defender in the NBA who isn't completely out of his mind. <BR/><BR/>JVJimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804653121602550649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38641062.post-78502982253098456502007-04-11T18:21:00.000-04:002007-04-11T18:21:00.000-04:00Perhaps he'll be a Knick next season!Perhaps he'll be a Knick next season!matthewjgoldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586513486869110502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38641062.post-39633584894444989602007-04-11T18:20:00.000-04:002007-04-11T18:20:00.000-04:00Best all around player?
