Reggie Miller on KG:
"One thing I will always say is that Kevin Garnett will never ask to be traded because he's a gentleman," said Miller, who spent his entire 18-year career with Indiana. "He believes, a lot like I did, that you want to start and finish [with the same team] and try to create something in Minnesota. But it's not going to happen. ... Kevin Garnett should be in the playoffs and should be in the conference final, east or west, and potentially playing for an NBA title. He is too good of a talent -- one of the best talents the league has ever seen -- and he's only been to the playoffs a handful of times and past the first round once. This is a travesty that a player [like Garnett] is not showcased come May or June."
