2005: Garnett
2006: Dirk
2007: Dirk
2008: Garnett

Overall they’re pretty close but I would go with KG slightly. I consider him a better player in their primes, and he was very much in his prime all those years even though 08 was the end of it.

I prefer KG overall so I'll go with him.

KG slightly due to defense and overall responsibility. Not that Dirk’s supporting cast was anything more than above average but the Wolves couldn’t draft well, get FA’s to Minnesota or make good trades. They couldn’t even cheat properly to sign Joe Smith. If we’re just talking about that 4-year stretch it’s KG.

KG's will was slowly crushed in 06-07 so while his impact was lower in those years we saw what his true capabilities were in 08. KG is the answer here.

A player seems to always win the vote by having a championship year when compared to another similar player.

Probably similar, historical; but Dirk was a clear choice for their era.

2005 - KG
2006 - Dirk
2007 - Dirk
2008 - KG
