Easy...Garnett. He should have 25k points after this year.

Better scorer or better offensive player? The latter is clearly Garnett.

The former is at least something of a debate. I'd say that Bosh was a more effective slasher, but Garnett was a much more skilled player at that let him be more useful overall. Bosh was always a time-consuming iso player with limited passing skills and not a lot of in-between game as a primary star; he was very efficient when he was able to run a lot of 1-4 PnR sets, but he wasn't very good much beyond that, apart from in transition. Garnett was far more vesatile.

Bosh as a scorer but KG as a player on either end

At their absolute peak, I think it's Bosh (for half a season) when he bulked up for one season (but slimmed down as the season went on).

KG's the better passer and everything else.

KG, but it's close. I'll take KG of his superior passing/playmaking ability.

Bosh was great, though. 24/11 on good efficiency. Goes to Miami and plays with two of the most ball dominant superstars in the game and people wonder why his stats drop.

KG is a lot more versatile and is less "stoppable" so to speak. He has more tools to fall back on if you take away a specific point of his scoring game.

KG. Bosh was much more of a ball stopper and was less versatile, both of which would've been major problems if he ever got as far as being the lead guy on a great playoff team
