Kevin Garnett has turned back the hands of time since
moving to center a few months back.

On Sports hoops fanatics, I know we just finished talking about the
rejuvenation of Boston Celtics’ future Hall of Fsmer Paul Pierce, but what kind
of guy would I be to leave out Boston ’s even bigger rejuvenation, that
of power forward-turned center Kevin Garnett?
KG, ‘The
Big Ticket’ or whatever you prefer to call him, has truly turned into a
revelation for the C’s and their rabid fans.
Garnett
has been transformed from an aging power forward that could barely keep up with
today’s younger counterparts, into a suddenly, fleet-footed, sweet-shooting
center that has the advantage over almost every 5 in the league not named Andrew Bynum
or Dwight Howard.
KG is
averaging an impressive 17.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in the
postseason while playing at least 40 minutes in each of the last three games.
Clearly,
Garnett has turned up the level of his play after averaging 15.8 points and 8.2
rebounds per game during the regular season – and now, Boston looks like it has as good a chance
of winning the Eastern Conference as any team – even the Miami Heat!
