I don't know if the advanced stats themselves give Garnett his full due, but I feel like the members of the analytics community give Garnett his due, no question. He was truly amazing, likely the best player in the league for a stretch.
On the MIN team that won 58 games, the rest of the team in descending minutes order was
Latrell Sprewell
Sam Cassell
Trenton Hassell
Fred Hoiberg
Mark Madsen
Gary Trent
THEY WON FIFTY EIGHT GAMES!!!!
- shanusmagnus 12y agoWhat I love is the beautifully pure metric offered by the 2008 trade, where they gave up KG and basically nothing, received a de-factor All Star (Jefferson) + some other stuff in return, and imploded to a degree that is rarely seen in the league. It's funny for a 20-10-5 guy to be chronically under-rated form a stats POV, but I think he was. I always tell people he was like having some kind of die-roll modifier: opposing teams took -3 on all rolls, and members of his team got +3. 20-10-5 doesn't begin to show everything he did.
