The better and far more versatile individual defender, and arguably one of the best backline anchors ever due to his defensive anticipation, foot speed, length, and perhaps most importantly, communication.

As good as he was in his era, I thought he might have been even more dominant if his prime was in the current small ball era. Could you imagine MVP KG playing the 5 instead of Draymond Green for a small ball team??? That would be all around unfair.
Zo was a beast but KG really ushered in a new era in a lot of ways.

but what he might have been best at was as a communicator and defensive leader, he quarterbacked and anchored those Boston teams defensively, veteran guys like Ray and Pierce who weren't really known for their defense before as well as the young guys they mixed in were all forced to raise their games defensively to become one of the greatest defensive teams of the modern era. KG set the tone from day 1.
