Kevin Garnett

Lebron James has the dribbling skills of a point guard and the physical grit of a power forward. He can dunk from almost the free throw line, and also drain the threes. There are few players in that category in the NBA. Kevin Garnett may be in that small list. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson would be they are retired. He was drafted out of high school and paid 90 million dollars for a Nike shoe contract. He was one of the last great players to be drafted straight from High School since the created

Lets face it, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been pretty bad since the one time NBA MVP Kevin Garnett left the franchise before the 2007 - 2008 season had begun. The team’s record had went from winning 32 games and losing 50 in the 2006 - 2007 season to winning only 22 games and losing 60 the following season. Meanwhile, Kevin Garnett had a great time that year in his first year as a Boston Celtic after being traded in the offseason. In his first year with the Celtics, he won his first NBA Championship

farewell tour, two equally deserving players that haven’t announced their retirement but seem destined to do so after year’s end are being brusquely overlooked. Way I see it, there are three main reasons Kobe is getting so much attention while Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, two exceptional NBA players so close to retirement themselves, are not: Kobe announced his retirement ahead of time (a trend on the rise that seems a tad-bit selfish, although exceptionally fun for fans) He plays for the Los Angeles

Baseline Paragraph: McDonald’s All American Games Showcase the Best of the Best of the Best Amira Hartford Some of the best players to ever shoot a basketball were players in the McDonald’s All American Games. These games give you a glimpse into your future for basketball. These games are hosted at the United Center in Chicago. Five players to watch in 2015 are Malik Newman, Ben Simmons, Jalen Brunson, Katie Lou Samuelson, and Kalani Brown. All of these players play a special part on their team

“Duncan ranks 14th all-time in points scored, sixth in rebounds and fifth in blocked shots.” (Espn stats and information, Spurs, and maybe Tim Duncan, leave notable legacy in defeat). Those stats are enough to argue that Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs is the greatest power forward of all time. Some might say that, Charles Barkley, Elvin Hayes, Dirk Nowitzki, Karl Malone, or another player could be the greatest power-forward of all-time, but I believe the following statement.

In spite of these players’ efforts, this year was the first time that a player straight out of high school has won the NBA MVP award.

Most had a really hard life growing up, but only some capitalized from where they came from and rose up to be the best person they could be. In both the Powerade and Beats commercial it shows how two well known basketball stars Derrick Rose and Kevin Garnett have struggles of their own, but they have the tough mindset to become greater. The powerade commercial starts out as a young man growing up in a rough part of chicago called Englewood. The ad shows flashes of the powerade bottle when he puts
