Kevin Garnett Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Kevin Garnett (born May 19, 1976) is a professional basketball player in the NBA. He was drafted in 1995, the first player in 20 years to join the league straight from high school.Garnett led the Minnesota Timberwolves in blocks in his rookie season. He has been considered not only the best player on the Timberwolves, but one of the best players in the NBA, ever since. Garnett was selected to play in every All Star game after his second season, winning All-Star MVP in 2003.
Garnett was a candidate for league MVP in 2002 and 2003, finishing runner up to Tim Duncan in 2003. He was named league MVP in 2004, as he led the league in rebounds per game at 13.9, and was second in points per game at 24.2.
Garnett and the Timberwolves have had difficulty in the playoffs, however, losing seven consecutive first round series. This streak ended in 2004, as the Timberwolves achieved the best record in the Western Conference and defeated the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings in the playoffs before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. In the process, Garnett silenced numerous critics when he became only the 5th player in history to record 30+ points and 20+ rebounds in a 7th game. He registered 32 points and 21 rebounds in the Game 7 victory over Sacramento. Sam Cassell, Latrell Sprewell and Michael Olowokandi played key roles alongside Garnett in the Timberwolves' 2004 success.
