Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics has been named this year’s Defensive Player of the Year.

Arguably the player who inflated the salaries of NBA players, Kevin Garnett was the second legitimate player to go from high school straight to the pros (Moses Malone would be the first). The #5 pick in the 1995 draft, Garnett played his high school ball at Farragut Academy, another high school legend in Chicago.
