Kevin Garnett challenges LeBron James and Kevin Durant

Fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves will always have a special place in their hearts for Kevin Garnett. As the unquestioned greatest player in franchise history, his name is synonymous with the Timberwolves and their history.

Garnett is the sole reason Minnesota went to the playoffs for eight seasons in a row from 1997 to 2004. The Wolves would have never made their best playoff run ever in 2004 without the defensive mastery of KG, and his fingerprints remain all over the organization.

Nowadays, Garnett stays active in the NBA sphere. As a student of the game, he continues to analyze players and teams while mentoring others and providing constructive criticism where necessary.
