Its better to give allusions or examples like steve ashburner's article on cnn sports. He described how kg sees much of himself in rasheed wallace. how they are mirror images until it turns into a funhouse and you slowly start noticing the differences. i think this is what makes a great article. all around great article though! i think i’ve seen better descriptions of these very talented men.

THEUNREALVOICE clearly has not watched much basketball to really know about a baller like Roscoe. Did you happen to see what happened to ALL-NBA D.Howard??? Sheed was his daddy... Sheed is easily a 20-10 guy on that minnesota team KG was rolling with, and if Garnett laced them up in Motown he would be at 16 - 8 - 4 a night kind of guy. Winning is all its about, and Sheed is a winner. For the record, I cant stand bandwagon, never watched a game in 10 years, dont know the players from your 2006 Roster, Went out and bought a Jersey when you team was winning, fairweather Fans. Gonna put you back in the well and do it on our last leg. X Nice points on Sheed and KG. THEUNREALVOICE clearly has not watched much basketball to really know about a baller like Roscoe.

Marcus, i have always agreed with you on your almost everything in your posts but to say that the Spurs and Lakers could beat them in 5 or 6 might be going a little too far...if you remember when Boston played the Lakers, 2 time, both times the Lakers were chewed up and spit out, one time by 13 points and the next time by 19 points....home and away...AND Kobe played both times and did his thing...well they havent played them with Gasol but lets be real.... and as for the Spurs, Boston beat them by 8 points and they had BOTH Manu and Duncan (healthy), both of them had great nights by the way, AND Kevin Garnett was injured and didnt play...how does that match up? i understand that the playoffs are different and all...teams change and either choke or become beasts...take the 8th seeded knicks that went all the way to the finals for example....u never know...i guess we will just have to see which way it all goes....

I don't think they could beat either of those teams unless Kobe gets injured and can't play, the Spurs lose Duncan or Manu, or if the team gets tired from beating each other and the rest of the West up.

i agree that Rasheed Wallace on a good day can keep up with almost anybody in the NBA but defensively, hes a little over-rated…he can stop anyone in the league when he really wants to, i give him that, but Garnett has consistently been on the All Defensive team AND the All NBA First and Second team pretty much every year…Sheed could have been on the All Defensive team a couple of time because he can do his job WHEN HE WANTS TO, but all the technical fouls and emotions are always in the way for him….and luckily Garnett was injured for the All Star game or Sheed would have been watching KG play on All Star weekend….

like i said, i agree that this could be considered a legitimate rivalry/battle because the teams are both atop the East now and will probably meet in the playoffs at some time but outside of Sheed getting lucky one night and Garnett having an off night, KG will always own Sheed…all he needs is that ring…which he might just win this year…am i wrong?
