I'd go KG

Wade/Dirk tie







Pierce


It is truly a travesty that KG wasted pretty much his entire prime on a horrible organization. Imagine if he was drafted into the same situation as Tim Duncan or Kobe. Or even Dirk for that matter.

I think KG got dealt the worst hand of any superstar. His first 12 years in Minnesota, his teams were crappy except for 3 or 4 years when they were decent but nothing special.

He didn't have a really good squad until he turned 30 and was traded to the Celtics. He immediately won a ring.

When I consider both offense and defense, KG might be the most versatile player in NBA history.

This is why AD probably wants out. He knows the Pels are never going to get him anywhere near where he should be. I'd wager that KG has been in AD's ear about getting out while you can.
