Kevin Garnett - Rising Stars ('97-'98 Timberwolves Feature Hosted By Ahmad Rashad)

Ahmad Rashad hosted this 1997-1998 feature, "NBA Rising Stars," which aired on NBC in 1998. It included this segment on the young and rising Minnesota Timberwolves, and their trio of Tom Gugliotta, Stephon Marbury, and Kevin Garnett.

I have some cool KG stuff on old VHS, but at the moment I don't have equipment to digitize them. Until I can do that, the next best thing is to use my camera. There's more stuff to come, but I'm spreading things out a bit, and uploading some to my secondary account as well:

Thanks man. Soon I will upload a KG-Steph interview with NBC's Bob Costas, conducted the day before the Timberwolves played the Sonics in the deciding Game 5 of their 1998 First Round series.

lol KG could have threw the ball off the other guy's back @ 4:24

[garnetttribute]

Lol they would've lost that game if he did that.

That was a game-winning alley-oop, from KG to Googs in overtime (January 16, 1998). I'm pretty sure it came at the buzzer, and there wasn't time to do anything else.

as huge wolves fan since '96, its depressing thinking about what coulda happened if marbury was willing to stick around and if sam cassell didnt get hurt in the 04 wcf.

[PatheticTeen]

i kinda miss those old days

[slipknoterman]

GUGLIOTA COULD PLAY?

[joefiro]

That's the closest the T-Wolves ever gotten to make it past the first round before finally did it with the three-headed monster.

I think it was during that series (after the 1st win in Seattle I think) where KG made that comment about how Target Center is going to be noisy like a zoo and how they need the zookeeper to calm down the crowd.

Back in those days, every time KG spoke to the media, I cringed. I was like please don't say anything stupid. :-)

To be honest, I dont know anything about that, but with your help I hope I would learn more. Thanks again.
