Kevin Garnett is the prototype for the NBA player of the future. He's already one of the greatest players to have played the game.
Steve Nash is the most unathletic player in the league.
Kenyon Martin is the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference.
At 49, I can say something I never would have said when I was a player. I am a better person because of my failures and disgraces.
