Happy 37th, KG. You've been part of the NBA for almost half your days on earth. The NBA will be a worse place when you're not part of it anymore. Please find it in you to play a few more years in green. You were the best big man in the playoffs at almost 37 years of age. You love playing basketball. To be able to play 20 NBA seasons at a high level is something that has been achieved by very few - actually one, Kareem, with his 20th season arguably high level.
If you do decide to move on, I will be one of the lucky few to see you in person your first and last game as a Celtic. Watching you warm up against the Wizards on opening night in 2007 instantly reminded me of Larry Bird and how he and his teammates prepared to play a game, which was quite the departure from the playground atmosphere warm ups were the year before with Gerald Green and Co.
You made a key defensive play to seal the victory on your first game as a Celtic, and unfortunately your shorthanded team couldn't overcome the Knicks in your last one. Don't go out like that. Come back, mentor Sully and whatever big we draft, and if the team is healthy, we all know any team you're on will be a tough playoff out. There's going to be a birthday in the near future when you turn a year older and you know you can't compete at a high NBA level anymore, but today isn't that birthday.
