    Interesting comments in here, especially about KG.

    KG's legacy is interesting to me, before the Boston championship he was regarded as somewhat of a choker who shot too many jump shots and was too passive in the clutch. I remember a interview he had with Bill Russell and the focus of that interview was the playoff struggles and at that time the repeat playoff misses. Now I'm hearing people make the argument that he's better than Duncan etc..never thought that. I always thought KG was a highly skilled guy, great to watch..but when its "winning time" he struggled.

    I never believed he could win a ring as the best player/alpha dog and he never did. Finally won as a secondary option and wasn't looked to hit clutch shots or carry a team.
