Smh, I'm so sick of people making up crap.
Garnett was just as good statistically as (if not better than) Marc Gasol this year... yeah I said it.
Garnett played 29.7mpg and Gasol played 35mpg this year. Their numbers in those minutes are basically identical (despite KG playing less):
KG: 14.8ppg, 7.8rpg, 0.9bpg on 50% FG & 79% FT
Gasol: 14.1ppg, 7.8rpg, 1.7bpg on 49% FG & 85% FT
Inb4... "b-b-b-b-b-but Gasol is the better defender"! No he isn't. Garnett is just as good a defensive anchor and Gasol benefits largely from having the best perimeter defensive backcourt in the league (although Rondo/Bradley was no slouch either).
KG is still a very, very good basketball player.
