    Whose your current favorite player still playing the game at an old age (Let’s consider 35 the age mininum)? My pick is Marcus Camby. Why? Coming into the league, Camby never truly learned how to play the game efficiently on the offensive end, but still managed to stay in the league by much surely making his presence felt on the defensive (Plus, a solid, yet awkward jumper from respectable range didn’t hurt) . In a 15-year career and at the age of 37, Camby can still give you 10 rebounds and just under 2 blocks a game.

     T-MAC! Some may argue it, but he went from being an ok Rookie averaging 7 points to being argubaly the best player in the league at one point and averaging 32 points in just a span of 5 YEARS!

      Crazy when you think about it but TMac is only 32 years old, unfortunately he’s been washed up since he was 29. It sucks cause at one point he was one of my favourite players too.

    Grant Hill because he is a class act and reinvented his career after being a superstar.  It just makes me so sad thinking about what he could have been

    My vote goes for a couple of Suns; Steve Nash and Grant Hill.

    Nash, just a month shy of 38 is still a top 7 PG in the league, one of the league’s best passers and shooters and a terrific personality with tons of charisma.

    Hill could’ve been one of the greatest players ever. Injuries derailed that possibility but instead of quitting he decided to transform his game. He is now one of the top defenders in the NBA despite being 39 years old

     Ben Wallace

    He’s an undersized center who became the first player to make the all star game undrafted

    Jason kidd, was a walking triple double, great vision, leader and lead my nets to 2 back to back finals(they lost both). He gave the nets his all and then crumbled after he left, glad he won a championship last season

    Ray Allen.  He’s the reason I became a UConn fan, and he’s still one of the best shooters in basketball at the age of 36.  Poetry in motion when he shoots 3’s.

    Tim Duncan bar none.  The most overlooked all time great ever.  He’s easily top 10 in the history of the NBA and still anchors a great team.

     My pick goes to Kurt Thomas. He has played the same style since he was in college and has stuck around the NBA for what feels like ever. Hussle and hit midrange jumpers will get you a paycheck every year I guess.

     Andre Miller. This guy is a real asset everywhere he goes. Has a basic game, no flash or flare, just gets numbers, assists, plays hard, I think he went off for 50pts either last year or the year before.

    True Veteran. Funny thing is he’s played like a veteran his whole career. Same Ol Dre.

    Kidd ,not only b/c of being a Mavs fan,but also b/c of all what he achieved in his career ,his vision ,rebounding,Defense
    Also how he was able to be a very useful player when he became slow and old in the era of super quick PGs are now the st overall picks in the drafts

     can i include ginobli in the list? there still is 2 years before he turn 35,

    he was drafted last in there class, he was so under the radar of that class , with his type of play, the "i dont care about the defender, i’m slashing anyway" type, he help the spurs to have the best decade in there franchise, one of the contributors when Spurs got the Championship 3 times, 2003,2005 and 2007, been the 6th man of the year on 2008 and all nba third team 2x in 2008 and 2011,

     Chauncey, took a little while to hit his stride, but ever since he did he’s been on of the best points in the NBA.  Champion, leader, and still playing at a high level in his 30’s.
