[Steve Ouellette]

Garnett is in the mix with Tim Duncan, Kevin McHale, Karl Malone and I'm sure some other guys I've forgotten, as best power forward ever. He took a team with an aging Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell as its next best players to the Western Conference final. 

Yes, teammates matter. Put him on a team with fellow crappy players Steve Nash, Lebron James, Ray Allen, Pau Gasol, Gilbert Arenas and Jermaine O'Neal and they could all suddenly become quality, championship-winning players.
