    this right here

    if Sheed had just worked hard enough he could have been one of the GOATs but for whatever reason it seemed like he was content to coast off his talent.

    Rasheed had a way better career than Garnett and the proof is in his regular season sucess and playoff sucess

    Garnett was stuck in the lottery for most of his career


    Don't you hate LeBron for doing the exact same thing?

    They are actually quite alike, they had all the talent, but just not the takeover mentality of say a Dirk..

    They resented being the man. Humans are wired differently.

    Tbh Sheed just didn't look interested in basketball at times.

    While browsing Rasheed Wallace's basketball-reference page, I noticed that it is sponsored by Russ Bengston (former Slam editor). That's pretty cool.

    Rasheed Wallace's best individual season was 00-01 where he averaged 19.2 and 7.8, he matched up against Kevin Garnett 4 times.

    Here are their respective averages over the course of those four games-

    Rasheed: 12.5 PTS 7.7 REB 3 AST

    Garnett: 18.2 PTS 13 REB 6 AST

    This topic is not worthy of further research but I'm inclined to believe that I would find similar statistics for the majority, if not all of their head to head contests.

    Wallace was an underachieving piece of TRASH outside of 2-3 seasons, while Garnett was carrying some of the worst surrounding casts on a consistent basis and easily dominated when he was on a good team, nice try!

    Sheed for sure had more talent. But he didn't maximize it.

    OP should probably kill himself. Dude is an unfunny, uninteresting, uninformed troll. Really has no business talking about basketball.

    Kevin Garnett on the other hand was a career loser on the T'Wolves. They had 1 great year in the playoffs vs the Lakers where they lost.

    KG joined a super team and still only won a single championship. He was probably the weakest link of the big 3.

    Agree or Disagree?

    I never even noticed this stupidity earlier...KG was easily the most important and impactful player of the Celtics 2008 championship. He doesn't go down and they win back 2 back for sure...that 2009 team was better than the 2008 team before he hurt his knee.

    Also...a lot of people are getting on KG for playing poorly against Sheed...well he was the best post defender in the league for years...Sheed that is. He was an incredibly tough player to get the best of in the post unless you were Shaq and three times bigger. Ironically, I remember in 2008 that KG killed him though...just wouldn't miss...one of those series where that on or off turn around just couldn't miss.

    KG > Dirk.

    Dirk's title was 5 years ago. He's at the end. Its safe to stop overrating him now.
