This needs its own thread: Someone just described Kevin Garnett as a "point forward"

[intruder]

Anthony Mason

Another "stretch" or honorable mention, yeah

 

[distinguishedNOW]

The Bulls rant their offense through Luc Longley in the triangle. I wouldnt call him point forward.

Chris Webber would be another honorable mention

My nikka I agreed with you...he used the wrong term. I'm just saying I understood what he meant and wouldn't have felt the need to make a new thread just to try and ridicule dude.

 

[intruder]

Whats so horribly wrong about his statement? The Wolves def ran alot of offense from KG at the top of the key

He had a 5 season stretch where he was dropping between 5 & 6 dimes a game

I mean dude wasnt bringing the ball up the court every possession, but he definitely had the offense moving through him

So we are calling anyone an offense is ran through at the top of the key a point forward, now? So whats next? Luke Longley was a point forward? Bill CartWright?

Hell how about Alonzo Mourning?

He actually played point forward for the timbermolves numerous times. He would actually bring the ball up the court. Get mad and make threads with limited basketball knowledge brehs.

I was one of those KG stans when he was with the T-Wolves breh. Webber brought the ball up the court 4 or 5 times more than KG and I'm not putting Webber in the point Forward category without putting an asterisk. Just an honorable mention, really. What;s next? Charles Barkley?

STOP IT

no stretch or honorable, he ran Charlotte's offense. He wasnt the athlete that GHill, Pippen, or Bron were/are but he was a point forward.

Dude, are you slow? Garnett was CLEARLY a point forward for several stretches of his career. He came into the league as a small forward, and he even played PG for stretches of his career. Are you honestly comparing him initiating the offense with guys like Longley and 'Zo? I'm kinda bankning on you never seen a game of Garnett in Minny. He did a whole lot of ball handling on that team.

Garnett, often playing point guard in Cassell's absence, turned in a monster performance, recording 30 points, 19 rebounds and 4 assists while playing all but 2 minutes 24 seconds. He guarded every position at some point in the game.

Just look at games in the Sacramento and Lakers series in 2004. Theres your video evidence.

Antoine Walker

KG was never a point forward

you nikkas....

a day cant go by when a arguement doesnt erupt about something as inconsequential as whether or not kg brought the ball up the court...

for the record the only time i ever remember him doing it was during the 2004 playoff run....a couple of games bringing the ball up court out of necessity does not a point-forward make....

@ nikkas claiming they watched every single game kg played as a t-wolf

Actually, I have watched pretty much every game since 2000ish.

Flip Saunders used him regularly as a point forward.

Its a fukking news article from new york times that is written about how Garnett often playing PG when Cassell went down. What fukking more do you want? Youtube the fukking series and see for yourself.

THANK YOU!!!!

There is a difference between

• Your coach making your SF go get the ball because the opposing gards are pressing and your SF can dribble through midcourt without kicking the ball
• Running your offense through someone at the top of the key
• And having you Forward actually play PG (thus point forward) for the majority of the minutes he plays.

These cats talking about "they ran the offense through KG from top of the key. I'm like Luke Longley did the same. Arvydas Sabonis did the same. Alonzo Mourning did the same. We gonna crown them point forwards, too?

 

[Goatpoacher]

So you made this thread so everybody could agree on a definition of Point Forward? Good idea.

I think it's fair to call somebody a point forward if they run the offense in a half-court set.

That's exactly what a point forward is.

 

[Brozay]

The Wolves facilitated offense through KG and ran sets around his passing ability

I dont know why that doesnt qualify him as a point foward
