MINNEAPOLIS – MAY 3: Kevin Garnett
MINNEAPOLIS – MAY 3: Kevin Garnett /

Kevin Garnett had arguably his greatest season during the 03-04 year, easily winning the most valuable player award.

Kevin Garnett wasn’t given a lot to work with when beginning his 2003 season with Minnesota, but Garnett finished the year looking like the best offensive and defensive player in the NBA.

KG was the first player in NBA history to win player of the month four times in one season. Moreover, Garnett was named to his third consecutive First Team All NBA team, and the All-NBA Defensive First Team for the fifth year in a row – Garnett dominated the NBA in the early 2000’s.

"VIA, NBA The 6-10, 240-pound forward totaled 1,219 points in MVP balloting, including 120 of a possible 123 first-place votes … San Antonio’s Tim Duncan finished second with 716 points, Indiana’s Jermaine O’Neal was third with 523 points, Sacramento’s Peja Stojakovic finished fourth with 281 points and Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (212 points) and Shaquille O’Neal (178 points) finished fifth and sixth."
