At 32, Boston Celtics big man Al Horford is currently showing no signs of slowing down. He has been having another remarkable year for the C's, and he has played a pivotal role in the team's drive for another extended postseason run.

According to Horford, he expects to play for at least another eight years, and will only consider retirement once he's reached the ripe age of 40:

“For me, as long as I'm healthy and feel good, I would like to play until I'm 40,” Horford told Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com. “Why not? As long as I'm healthy and feel good. I don't want to be out there struggling or hurt or things like that. I really take the time to work on my body and I enjoy the game, so I wouldn't see why I wouldn't keep playing on it. I'm not going to put a limit on it. I'm just going to keep playing as long as I feel good.”

The five-time All-Star credited the Celtics' physio team, saying they have been of tremendous assistance in terms of keeping his body right:

“I think the medical staff has done an unbelievable job with me, to come up with the right plan and everything,” Horford said. “I feel good. It's something that I don't have any complaints about. I dealt with [a knee injury] in December, but I think it was probably like mid-January, that's when I felt back like myself. Hopefully, I won't have any issues with it.”

Now playing his third year in Boston, Horford is currently putting up 13.1 points (on 53.1 percent shooting), 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 28.7 minutes per contest, as he continues to be part of the upper echelon of big men in the entire league.
