He is also referred to by the nicknames "KG", "The Big Ticket" and "The Kid". After graduating from [[Farragut Career Academy]] in [[Chicago, Illinois]], he was [[1995 NBA Draft|drafted in 1995]], the first [[NBA high school players|NBA player drafted out of high school]] in 20 years.

+ | ==Biography== |
||
− | Kevin Garnett was the 5th pick of the [[1995 NBA Draft]], picked by the moribund [[Minnesota Timberwolves]]. After joining the NBA for the 1989-90 season, the Timberwolves had not won more than 29 games in any season. However, the Timberwolves were going through a transition phase, having installed [[Flip Saunders]] as head coach (replacing the fired [[Bill Blair]]) and making several trades that changed the team’s composition. Garnett initially came off the bench in his rookie year, but moved into the [[starting lineup]] in the middle of the season. In his rookie year, Garnett and fellow newcomer [[Tom Gugliotta]] carried the scoring load. Garnett did not immediately leap to stardom as later [[prep-to-pro]] prospects such as [[Amare Stoudemire]], [[LeBron James]], and [[Dwight Howard]] would, but he did have a very respectable rookie year. He averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game and was voted into the All-Rookie Second Team. |

||
+ | Because of his great athleticism and 6'11" (211 cm) stature, Garnett is widely regarded as one of the most versatile players ever, capable of playing all five positions on the floor, though he has made his mark playing the [[Power forward (basketball)|power forward]] position. He holds the record for most consecutive seasons (6) of averaging at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, formerly held by [[Larry Bird]]. In addition to his offensive prowess, Garnett is an excellent defender, having been elected to the NBA's All-Defense first team from 2000 to 2005 and making the second team in 2006. |

The streak ended in 2004, as the Timberwolves, with the best record in the Western Conference defeated the [[Denver Nuggets]] and [[Sacramento Kings]]. However they fell short of the NBA Finals, losing to the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] in the Western Conference Finals. |

Garnett became the 5th player in NBA history to score 30+ points and grab 20+ rebounds in a 7th game of a series. He registered 32 points and 21 rebounds in the Game 7 victory over Sacramento. However, the Timberwolves failed to match this performance in 2005, the first year (8 consecutive playoff berths) they did not make the playoffs with Garnett. |

Garnett leads all active [[NBA]] players (11 years) for the distinction of having played his entire career for only one team. Tied for second place are [[Kobe Bryant]] of the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] and [[Allen Iverson]] of the [[Philadelphia 76ers]], each of whom have played 10 seasons for their respective teams. |

In spite of his stats, team success has eluded Garnett. On one hand, he arguably never had the teammates (except for the one-year stint of [[Latrell Sprewell]] and [[Sam Cassell]]), but critics say that Garnett has never succeeded to make his teammates better, in contrast to contemporary "big men" like [[Shaquille O'Neal]] and [[Tim Duncan]] who helped shape talents like [[Penny Hardaway|Anfernee Hardaway]], [[Kobe Bryant]], [[Dwyane Wade]], [[Tony Parker]] or [[Manu Ginobili]] into legitimate superstars. Furthermore, he is one of the few superstars who has missed the playoffs in consecutive years during the prime of his career. |

Kevin Garnett was the 5th pick of the 1995 NBA Draft, picked by the moribund Minnesota Timberwolves. After joining the NBA for the 1989-90 season, the Timberwolves had not won more than 29 games in any season. However, the Timberwolves were going through a transition phase, having installed Flip Saunders as head coach (replacing the fired Bill Blair) and making several trades that changed the team's composition. Garnett initially came off the bench in his rookie year, but moved into the starting lineup in the middle of the season. In his rookie year, Garnett and fellow newcomer Tom Gugliotta carried the scoring load. Garnett did not immediately leap to stardom as later prep-to-pro prospects such as Amare Stoudemire, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard would, but he did have a very respectable rookie year. He averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game and was voted into the All-Rookie Second Team.
Player Profile
Because of his great athleticism and 6'11" (211 cm) stature, Garnett is widely regarded as one of the most versatile players ever, capable of playing all five positions on the floor, though he has made his mark playing the power forward position. He holds the record for most consecutive seasons (6) of averaging at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, formerly held by Larry Bird. In addition to his offensive prowess, Garnett is an excellent defender, having been elected to the NBA's All-Defense first team from 2000 to 2005 and making the second team in 2006.
Garnett is also a model of consistency; as of January 11, 2006, he has scored at least 10 points in 279 straight games, and started 309 straight games. He has also consistently been among the leaders in efficiency rating.
Garnett initially came off the bench in his rookie year, but moved into the starting lineup in the middle of the season and led the Minnesota Timberwolves in blocks. Garnett was selected to play in every All-Star Game after his second season, winning the All-Star MVP in 2003.
Playoff Difficulty
Despite his numerous individual accomplishments, Garnett's teams have struggled in the playoffs, unable to advance past the first round for seven consecutive years. The streak ended in 2004, as the Timberwolves, with the best record in the Western Conference defeated the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. However they fell short of the NBA Finals, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
Garnett became the 5th player in NBA history to score 30+ points and grab 20+ rebounds in a 7th game of a series. He registered 32 points and 21 rebounds in the Game 7 victory over Sacramento. However, the Timberwolves failed to match this performance in 2005, the first year (8 consecutive playoff berths) they did not make the playoffs with Garnett.
By the latter half of the 2005-06 season, the Timberwolves were out of the playoff hunt, and rumors arose suggesting they would entertain trade offers for Garnett. At a post-season press conference, the Timberwolves GM Kevin McHale put these rumors to rest.
Garnett leads all active NBA players (11 years) for the distinction of having played his entire career for only one team. Tied for second place are Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, each of whom have played 10 seasons for their respective teams.
In spite of his stats, team success has eluded Garnett. On one hand, he arguably never had the teammates (except for the one-year stint of Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell), but critics say that Garnett has never succeeded to make his teammates better, in contrast to contemporary "big men" like Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan who helped shape talents like Anfernee Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili into legitimate superstars. Furthermore, he is one of the few superstars who has missed the playoffs in consecutive years during the prime of his career.
Garnett has a "Hall of Fame Probability" of 0.96 according to Basketball-Reference.com.
