Kevin Garnett's trophy case is a testament to his two-way dominance. He is one of only five players in NBA history to win both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. His 12 All-Defensive Team selections tie for the most all-time, and his 15 All-Star appearances place him among the game's most beloved stars. Garnett led the Timberwolves to their only Western Conference Finals appearance and delivered Boston its 17th championship.
