Might you make an argument one other Kevin is the very best participant within the historical past of Minnesota Timberwolves?
An NBA analyst thinks.
The journalist of the clutch factors Brett Siegel responded to an article on X, the social media platform previously referred to as Twitter on Friday through which he made a really offbeat remark that Kevin Love is “undoubtedly the very best participant within the historical past of Timberwolves”. He responded to an article which cited the diffuser Dan Patrick saying that it might most likely be a disappointment if the phenives of the primary yr of the Duke Cooper Flagg, the possible selection in whole within the subsequent draft of the NBA, finally ends up having a profession like love.
“Kevin Love is an All-Star 5 instances, an NBA champion, and doubtless the very best participant within the historical past of Timberwolves,” stated Siegel. “If 10 years outdated: Flagg is a multi-time all-star with a championship and the most effective gamers within the historical past of his crew, it’s definitely not a disappointment.”
The declaration that love is undoubtedly the very best participant within the historical past of the Wolves shortly attracted the eye of followers and different media members who thought that Kevin Garnett, the chief of all instances of Minnesota, rebounds, assist, blocks, thefts, triple-doubles, or, nearly every thing, might have slipped the spirit of Siegel. Aaron Fentress, a journalist from Portland Path Blazers for Oregonian, in contrast the comparability of Siegel with the saying that Derrick Rose is the best participant of Chicago Bulls of all time.
Siegel doubled, though he stated he believed that the best Wolves participant is Garnett, not love.
“Initially, Kevin Garnett is just not Michael Jordan. It is a horrible comparability,” he replied. “Second, I’m not saying that my opinion is that love is healthier within the story of Twolves. I merely spotlight an argument that exists. The suitable reply is Garnett, as I’ve declared a couple of instances now, however there are some who imagine that it’s love.”
Is there? Frankly, there are most likely extra who stated that Karl-Anthony Cities or Anthony Edwards are the most important gamers within the historical past of Timberwolves on love. Cities ranks second within the historical past of Wolves in factors, rebounds and blocks and ranks fourth in assists and fifth in interceptions. Edwards is already the third scorer within the historical past of Minnesota and ranks fourth in interceptions, sixth in assists and ninth in rebounds. Love is sixth in factors and third rebounds, however is exterior the highest 10 in assists, blocks and thefts. It could be tough to make an argument that it might be above cities or Edwards, even much less Garnett.
Siegel had quite a lot of very deserved grief, however continued to say that there’s somebody there who makes an argument for love, though anybody perhaps, we are going to by no means know. Love is among the finest gamers within the historical past of Timberwolves, indubitably, however even to say that there’s an argument to be made, it’s the largest when Garnett exists is nothing apart from laughable.
