City Pages gives Garnett a couple of their "Best Of The Twin Cities" awards in honor of both his athleticism and his humanitarianism.Best Corporate Citizen
We here in the Twin Towns like to think we're blessed with a benevolent corporate community: Target, General Mills, 3M, and even the privately owned Cargill are all noted nationwide for their charitable giving.

In November, Garnett contacted Oprah Winfrey by letter, which the surprised host read on the air.

Best Timberwolves Player
His precocious talent forever changed the way society regards high school basketball players. Not yet 30 (that happens at the end of next month), he ranks fifth in total minutes played among active NBA players.

KFAN's Dan Barreiro gets the nod for "Best Sports Talk Radio Host."
