KG gets my vote because his was ALL GAME, and I am extremely biased.

I'd always been a KG fan, but it wasn't until that game that I realized that he was so great that he could do anything on a basketball court. Is he fading in the fourth as many cynics accused him of? Not likely. His team needs clutch three's? No problem. A great steal? Sure. A key block? You bet.

In that game, Garnett showed me he was one of the greatest players I'd seen since Jordan. His will was not going to be denied. He'd have won, 1-on-5 that night. His passion was on full display, during the game and after.

KG's Game 7 overall performance was on the nomination list for best individual playoff performance of the decade as well.

KG gets my vote as well. I was just pointing out that other fans don't think like we do. unfortunately.

Yeah, that's a joke. Plus he did his work in GAME SEVEN, which everyone likes to pump up so much.
