Kevin Garnett does not know the meaning of the word stop. As long as he can run and jump, he will keep playing. That’s for sure.
According to Mike Mazzeo of ESPN NY, KG is undecided about his future. Pondering that he might play beyond the upcoming NBA season.
“I like to come in each year and assess it,” Garnett said Friday at the team’s annual media day. “I’ve always said the days when I’m not feeling basketball again, which is absurd, or when I don’t have the motivation to come in here, it’s time to move on. But that’s not the case. I’m very much motivated. I’m looking to have a better year than last year and I’m looking to enjoy this year.”
“(Retirement is) always somewhere in there, especially when you come up short of your goal for the year,” Garnett said. “But I must admit these last three years I’ve thought about life and where basketball is as far as priority. So yeah, in the back of your mind you think about it. But the decision is yes or no. It’s not like 50-50 I’m in the middle of the road or gray area. I’m a person that when you commit to something, you commit to it. It’s that simple.”
“Right now, I feel great,“
I think that last sentence is the most significant. If he feels good, why not carry on? He can retire any time he likes. As long as somebody pays him of course.
He will become only the 4th player to play in 20 NBA seasons. That’s a feat in itself. Keep on trucking KG.
