Kevin Garnett has been in the NBA for 21 seasons. If he decides to come back for the final year of his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2016-17, K.G. will have played more seasons than anybody in NBA history. That decision hasn't been made yet, at least as far as anybody outside of Garnett knows. Sam Mitchell, Garnett's former teammate and coach believes the way the 2015-16 season ended could possibly lead to Garnett's retirement, rather than coming back for another season at the age of 40.
