NBA: All-Time starting 5 of the Minnesota Timberwolves

Forward – Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garnett

The greatest player in franchise history, Kevin Garnett was the first true superstar for the Timberwolves. He was the NBA MVP in 2004, and he was an All-Star ten-time while in Minnesota. Garnett was also a constant member of All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams during his tenure with the Timberwolves.

Garnett was a born leader and motivator, helping the Timberwolves make the playoffs eight times. He led the team to the Western Conference Finals in 2004 but came up short against the Lakers. Garnett retired as a member of the team in 2016. It is only a matter of time when his iconic No. 21 jersey hangs from the rafters and a bronze statue of him is built outside the Target Center.

Honorable Mention: Forward – Tom Gugliotta

While Kevin Garnett was still developing into a superstar, Tom Gugliotta carried the Timberwolves from 1995 to 1998. He was an All-Star in 1997 and he helped the team make the playoffs that same year but they were swept in the first round by the Houston Rockets.
