2. Kevin Garnett, 2003-04

I don’t think I’ve ever written the name Kevin so many times in my life. The more that I say it the weirder it sounds in my mouth. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.

Anyways, Kevin Garnett had a historic season in 2003-04. Garnett would go on to win the MVP award, in part because of his all-around game.

He even led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately they lost to the Lakers in six games and haven’t been back to the playoffs since.

Garnett averaged 13.9 rebounds per game for the Timberwolves that season. That is the second-best mark in Timberwolves history. His 1,139 total rebounds that season is the most Minnesota has ever seen.

Garnett also led the NBA that season in rebounds per game, total rebounds, defensive rebounding percentage, and rebounding percentage.
