BOS Reporter: Kevin Garnett Will Retire

[Miserio]

Didn't Garnett often play the 3 in all-star games when Dirk and Duncan played the 4 and the 5?

So... that makes Magic Johnson a Center, right?

im old

the kid, mr big ticket...

**** it, duncan, garnett and kidd all retire. screw the nba.

[Kingwillball]

Even at his Age KG still better than 90% of players in the league. IMo he can still play another year or two at a high Level.

[Grey Dawn]

I guess I'm supposed to compliment him as a player since he's about to retire. He's a douchebag and I've never liked him. As a player he is great, but he is still an ahole.

Nope, let's leave it at one of the league's top all-time douch bags.

He rewrote the history book on fake tough guy.

Not my point. KG's game is different than Duncan's which is why Duncan's career will likely last a couple seasons longer. Duncan didn't play at such a fast paced level his whole career. Duncan's game is suited to last longer like Shaq and Karl Malone.

I think Duncan should retire as well. I don't know why, but something as arbitrary as him not averaging 20+/10+ for his career averages would somehow tarnish something for me in his career.
I know how great he was and everything, but it would just seem odd calling him the greatest power forward of all time despite not quite having the stats of other all time greats.

Duncan is one of my favourite players and I hate to see a legend continue to the point where he is a shadow of his former self and not putting up the same sort of numbers that he would do in his prime.

I'd always rather see players retire after they have declined somewhat rather than at the point that they are entirely washed up.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

He's just been giving it his all in his last season. That's why he's playing with so much passion and hunger.

Check out his All-NBA defensive team selections (13)

Check out his All-NBA team selections (12)

Check out his MVP & Finals MVP awards (5 combined)

Check out his championships (4)


That's all the stats you need to concern yourself with.

I know, I know.

I'd still call him the greatest, and like I said, it's baffling to myself to concern myself with something so arbitrary, but yeah, I want him to finish strong since he is one of my favorite players ever.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

lmao mcgrady

Yeah it was funny I read an article about him recently and I think the opening line went something like this "Most players need to keep playing to increase their chances of entering the hall of fame, in McGrady's case...he needs to stop"

[shady6121]

Heat will win tomorrow, but I hope the Celtics put up a good fight for KG. What an incredible career.

Talent-wise he definitely can.
Body-wise? Probably not. He is wearing down big time.

[G-Funk]

Hope this isnt true. A legend,im def gonna watch him till hes out of the playoffs, Minny is really fortunate to have seen bhim battle so many yrs.

[Haymaker]

Tomorrow.. Career vs Hairline.

[Noob Saibot]

Just 4 years ago, Garnett was defensive player of the year. Hate to see him go, a real competitor, might be crazy at times with the trash talk, but he was fierce player and determined to win. Watch him go off for 30 and 10 tomorrow night, after seeing LeBron do something epic.

Top 20 player for certain.
