Just thought I'd mention that Illinois's own Kevin Garnett was the MVP of
the game for all you naysayers out there.

Garnett is nothing but a trash talker with slightly above average
skills. He is good, don't get me wrong, but why would anyone want someone
like him who does nothing but showboat and trash talk? Also, he would be
much better at forward than center, he is just too damn thin to play
center in my mind.

He may not be able to play center in your mind, but he sure as hell can
play center on the court.

I don't think that's really crucial in college. Rasheed Wallace and
Joe Smith seem to do OK, and both of them are pretty skinny. Kentucky seems
to have an infinite supply of tall, skinny, athletic guys and they do
pretty well. Garnett certainly isn't ready to play in the NBA (and neither
is Wallace, IMO), but I think he'll make some college team very happy. It's
not like Illinois has anybody else to put at center, anyway.

Is this official? In an article on the McDonald's All-Star game in
clari.sports.basketball, they say he's not committed yet, and he's
quoted as saying that he doesn't know where he's going to go.

Take a look at Garnett's H/W: 6'11", 200lbs. Hell, I am 6'4", 220, and
by no means am I fat. He will get pushed around like a rag doll if he
doesn't gain some weight. Rasheed thin? I think he goes about 230-240,
that may not seem like a hell of a lot, but in college it can mean the
difference between being pushed and holding position. Hell, Abdur-Rahim
was pushing Garnett all over, and Abdur is only 230. No way will garnett
be effective at center at his present weight.
