I think last year was the final time for him to do 20/10, unless for some unknown reason he gets traded from the Celtics within the next few years. So far this year he is averaging 19.2 points and 9.9 boards, off his career averages. The main reason for this is he is on a team that has two different "go to" scorers in Allen and Pierce. They do not need him to score as much now, simply board and block and play D. I do not forsee him improving on these averages this year, he will come close to 20/10 but will likely finish out 19/9.5. He will be rested more as the playoffs get nearer.Then, for next year on from there, it is a function of the team he is playing on and his age. 20/10 will get less likely as the years roll on. He is still a stud, and VERY deserving of a title, just do not look for the individual statistics you are used to seeing out of KG.Good question. Thanks!

Ten, lol. Honestly if his back & knees remain solid.. he actually could play ten more, but who knows. Health will decide that for us.So go buy a Garnett jersey for your family members! lol

All depends on his supporting cast, he hasn't had to play the minutes in Boston and hence his numbers are slightly down, in fact this season he isn't quite a 20-10 player, but his efficiency is certainly there. In Boston he can save himself for the games that matter, and have a next level to step up to come playoff time, while in Minnesota he lacked a higher gear to lift his team come playoff time because he left it all out just to get them there. Of course in the end he failed to get them there at all. Come playoff time I'm sure he'll be putting up big numbers again, and he'll be able to do that for at least 4 more years giving Boston a decent window. He may not put up 20-10 in the regular season, but look for 25-12 come playoff time as he'll be fresh and hungry for a championship.

2-3, but he could still do about 16-17 / 6-7 rebounds / and a few of the other important stuff for a couple years after that.
