Kevin Garnett will be 36 in May, but his age doesn't stop him from being productive big man night-in and night-out for the Boston Celtics. Garnett is recently coming off a big win against the Utah Jazz, where he outdueled Al Jefferson with 23 points and ten rebounds.
KG is always motivated, and now he has found something new to keep himself pushing. It's his age. For the past two years, Garnett has been labeled as "old" but he's still producing and playing like an All-Star.
“I’m motivated,” the Big Ticket says. “I hear y’all calling me old. I hear y’all calling me older, weathered. It don’t really take much to motivate me. I’m older in basketball years, but in life I’m 30-something.”
Even though he is older in basketball years, he's definitely not playing like it. He is still producing well, with about 16 points and eight rebounds averaged per game as the Celtics continue to battle the 76ers for the winner of the Atlantic Division.
