Contrary to what some people believe, Kevin Garnett has great footwork. Watch him drive to the basketball, and you'll see the long strides. Watch him pull up for a jumper or fadeaway, and you'll see impeccable timing and spacing.

Where Garnett needs more work is his footwork in the low-post, especially when maneuvering around multiple defenders. When he's double-teamed or triple-teamed, there are occasionss when KG takes an extra step and gets called for travelling. But that only happens when two or three guys run at him as he drives to the hoop, forcing him to dodge them and adjust.

More often than not, KG will just pass the ball to a wide-open teammate under such conditions -- and that's a very logical thing to do, despite what some critics say.

In addition, very rarely does KG shuffle his feet. Opposing coaches often claim that Garnett travels on his post moves. And yes, referees have often called Garnett for these alleged travels. Flip Saunders disagrees with these calls: "Everyone's always yelling so much because he pump fakes. But he has one foot usually that we think is stationary."

It's probably tough for officials to count the number of steps Garnett takes, since he has so many moves, and he fakes so much. That doesn't mean they should make a travelling call when it didn't take place. Garnett says, "I'm not a complainer, but it is frustrating. Things that you work on in practice and you incorporate in the game [get] called for a walk just because the referee doesn't understand the steps or the pivot foot. What you have to do is go up to the ref, let him know what you're doing. Sometimes that helps. But you can't shy away from the move." When his pivot foot is planted, it's planted. It's very difficult to dislodge him unless the defender crashes into him. And that's a foul.
