I think KG is right behind Shaq, as far as best players of this era (so far, I will just pretend LeBron is not up there until he retires).
He is all out, all the time, NO exceptions. The definition of intangibles should simply say "Kevin Garnett".
While it bums me out that he and Pierce weren't able to have teamed up about 3-5 years earlier, I am forever grateful I got to cheer him on in green.
