While in the NBA, most of the narrative revolves around Michael Jordan, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett backs himself for this one title.

Without wasting a breath, KG said,<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-3\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p><em>\u201cI\u2019m betting on me.

Since this is a unique challenge, KG said that he is prepared for whatever might be thrown at him to prove his mettle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"embed-tweet-https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevinGarnett5KG\/status\/1778078796626723306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"data-event my-2\" data-type=\"embed\" data-variant=\"tweet\" data-property=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevinGarnett5KG\/status\/1778078796626723306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">\n<div class=\"rsme-embed rsme-twitter-embed mx-auto max-w-sm my-2.5\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-6\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Believing that you\u2019re the best hooper is a fair assessment coming from any great player, and for someone like KG who was known for being the most versatile player on the court,\u00a0it\u2019s not a surprise\u00a0that he picks himself. Many might have named LeBron James or Michael Jordan as the best hoopers, but KG has the confidence that he is one of the best with the ball in his hand.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-7\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">KG added that a challenge like this is right up his alley and even he would be interested to know where he would stand when pitted against some of the greats of the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Kevin Garnett\u2019s illustrious career<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Real shyt, I believe im the best pure hooper of all time.

KG\u2019s next switch came in 2007 when he moved to Boston and got his first and only championship-winning experience in 2008. In a career spanning 21 seasons, KG scored 26,071 points, averaging 17.8 points per game and had 14,662 rebounds, averaging 10 per game, per ESPN.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-google-5466720927\" class=\"min-h-72 data-event mb-4\" data-type=\"ad\" data-variant=\"google\" data-property=\"5466720927\">\n<p id=\"article-content-block-9\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">He was the league\u2019s MVP in 2004, made an impressive 15 All-Star appearances in his career, and was named the All-Star game MVP in 2003.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-10\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">From 2004 to 2007, KG was the NBA rebounding champion four consecutive times and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2008. He was also a part of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020, and had his no. 5 jersey retired by the Boston Celtics. With a resume as impressive as this, KG\u2019s claim of being the best pure hooper in the history of the game is just undeniable.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-google-1943969387\" class=\"min-h-72 data-event mb-4\" data-type=\"ad\" data-variant=\"google\" data-property=\"1943969387\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often great athletes are compared to someone who has already achieved big in the same field.
