10 OLDEST Players In NBA History

[@kendogg1337]

Wilt Chamberlain got serious NBA offers at age 50 as he kept in very good shape after the NBA. He played professional volleyball for years. Nets offered him a million a year to play for them in 1986. Would have been awesome if he accepted. He could still rebound and block shots. He had a dozen NBA offers in his mid 40's. Dude was a beast.

Vince Carter is a really interesting story. He went from this 'bad boy' image that his penchant to shoot destroyed team chemistry...to evolving into a man and a great teammate. He's truly one of the NBA's nicer guys. I think he got an extra season or two because coaches and players love the person he is, who he chose to be.

[@randallanderson1632]

I played basketball into my 60s, full court, with younger guys. I will tell you Stockton's reasons for longevity because some of them were mine. First, let me say that contrary to what the video says, Stockton had immense athleticism. However, he did not have the normal athleticism found in the NBA. He had a quickness in his feet and hands rather than an amazing vertical leap. That's how he led the league in steals. Anyway, he had a very long career because #1, he never had a catastrophic injury, #2, he was put together with some pretty good glue. In other words, he had good connective tissues. And #3, he wanted to play a long time and he did what was necessary in terms of fitness to do that. Lastly, unlike many players in all sports, Stockton was not concerned about diminishing personal statistics and status due to aging. The same can be said of Steve Nash, and for that matter, Michael Jordan, both of whom played to 39.

[@alexanderomoniyiajayi1589]

of course, he had athleticism how can you play over 1500 games in NBA and not. He was fast and quick, Hops and skin color do not define athletes. perpetuating stereotypes can work both ways and cause issues. The narrator should be careful

[@randallanderson1632]

@@alexanderomoniyiajayi1589 About 20 years earlier, the same thing was said about Pete Rose, that his success in the major leagues was due almost entirely to hustle and determination because he had minimal athletic talent. Such talk can be annoying.

[@AcousticOlli]

@@alexanderomoniyiajayi1589 every player that gets to the NBA is athletic compared to the average person but even between NBA players there can be a huge difference. it also depends on what people mean by athletic. Often they say a guy that can`t jump through the roof isn`t as athletic. someone that has low muscle mass isn`t athletic but Stockton was a machine, very durable and high endurance. he probably even had a good vertical compared to the average guy but i doubt his vertical was anywhere close to 40inches which is often what people would consider very athletic. I mean, people often say Steph Curry isn`t very athletic when in fact he is an athletic freak compared to most peopole. there is more to athleticism than just being jacked and jumping 40inches. Quickness, changing directions fast, first-step speed, hand-eye coordination etc. are all aspects of being athletic but are often overlooked. people will just keep saying Giannis is athletic and Stockton was an average guy :/

I was 8-years-old in 1971 when Kareem and Oscar Robertson led the Milwaukee Bucks to the 1970-71 title. That Bucks team was my favorite team back then.....match-ups between the Bucks and the Lakers in the early '70s is still my favorite match-up of All-Time. Between 1970 through 1973, the Lakers and the Bucks were the most dominating teams in the NBA at that time. Also, the Bucks and Lakers both played in the Western Conference back then, so even though they were the best two teams, they could never play each other for the NBA Championship. Yeah, the Knicks had a great team back then as well, winning two Championships, in 1969-70 and again in 1972-73, but the Lakers and Bucks for about four years were the most dominating teams at that time. .​@JosephArmeni-ct3fc
