He's a little older now, so maybe that's a good excuse for the moment, but son has never lacked any type of skill. One of the most talented all around dudes in the NBA, only thing he lacks is the mental tools.

I wouldn't say he lacked a killer mentality because he showed it on the glass and on the defensive end. And yes he is intense. Him not scoring doesn't take away from his intensity level. If Ray LEwis never made a tackle he would still be intense. Intensity is the bravado. Nothing more nothing less. It is the "extra" stuff that some folks do.

Just curious When I say offensive skill I am speaking in terms of scoring and Yes I am talking about right now. He isn't even an offensive threat.In the past his offense was passable but he was never an offensive DUDE that you would bet $25 on him that he would get 25 points.Yes he is a great all around player but when it comes to scoring the ball, that isn't something that he was every relied on to do. His scoring, passing, and defense/rebounding were his strengths. He is not KNOWN for his scoring. Never has. Did I watch KG on the Wolves? Of course I did.

He carried the wolves on both sides, and even back then he wanted no parts in clutch situations. Like I said, just stop bruh

Offensively, yes he vanished in the 4th. Which is why they brought in Sam since he had the "balls" to finish things off. That wasn't KG. So was Dennis Rodman. So was Ben Wallace. They are people I would consider tough, so why can't KG get that same recognition?

Now them you can say weren't offensively gifted, and they were undersized. Them dudes were ALL heart, and ALL toughness. Dudes couldn't do what KG can do now in their prime, like I said, just stop it.

Like I said, just stop bruhYea he averaged those points but he was not known for his scoring. When you think of KG you thought of his versatility, not his scoring. Dwight is averaging 20 right now as well, at not point has anyone known him as being a scorer. There is a difference between SCORING and scoring. KG scored because he had to, not because he imposed his will to. So NO, KG was never known for his scoring. Yea he carried the Wolves on both sides but a lot of that was because of his passing as well. He was not a dominant scorer.
