It's a damn shame that You Tube you can only find videos like this one where they just cut right to his finishes and dunks, I mean you had to see this guy play on a nightly basis like I did growing up to appreciate his game..
Other than Shaq, growing up watching the game, I don't remember anyone averaging an easier 20/10 than The Kid, like an eyes closed type of thing, just made it look so easy

No doubt about KG's talent. He played like a beast back in the day with the T-Wolves. I'm in my 30s so I remember KG as Mr. Versatility.
-The dude can score, grab rebounds, and make good passes. He was a threat almost every night for a triple double.
