Age is undoubtedly the biggest enemy of competitive sports players, even the most powerful stars, can not withstand the invasion of time, as the age continues to increase, the body functions continue to age, and then will be replaced by younger players. However, the following five stars, not only did not decline in their state after increasing age, but became more and more courageous, which was quite the meaning of returning to the peak. Today we will take stock of the five oldest and strongest stars in the NBA!
James, 37, blocks heads and rebounds flush
Speaking of the myth of immortality in active service, how can we not mention James? James, now 37, showed his terrifying bounce power in a game against the Lone Rangers. In one block, only to see James jump up, you can find that the head actually exceeded the height of the rebound! Can you believe this is a 37-year-old star? You know, as James in the 03 draft, when other stars of the same year retired early, he became one of the few stars who have insisted on this draft so far. It's really admirable.
Jordan scored 51 points at the age of 38
As the strongest scorer in NBA history, Jordan in the Bulls era once won the 10-time scoring championship in 12 years. In 1998, the 35-year-old Jordan not only won the scoring championship again, but also led the team to the championship, and he was crowned the sixth FMVP in his life. But that wasn't much for Jordan, who made his comeback at the Washington Wizards in the 01-02 season, and in a game against the Charlotte Hornets, the 38-year-old slashed 51 points to help the team win the game, becoming the oldest 50+ player at the time, a record that was later broken by Crawford.
Nash entered the 180 club + led the Western Conference Finals at the age of 36
In the 09-10 season, Nash, who was 36 at the time, played in 81 regular season games, averaged a double-double of 16.5 points and 11 assists per game, not only won the scoring king, but also Nash's three shooting rates were 50.7%, 42.6% and 93.8%, and at the age of 36, the high attendance rate was scary, and he got the assist king, and also entered the 180 club! And that season Nash also led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals, and finally lost 2-4 to the Lakers.
Abdul-Jabbar won the Finals MVP at the age of 38
When it comes to the NBA's ageless myth, one person who has to be mentioned is naturally Abdul-Jabbar. In 1985, at the age of 38, Abdul-Jabbar once again led the Lakers to the Finals, and their opponents were the Celtics. In the end, the 38-year-old Jabbar led the team to solve the Green Army in 6 games, won the fourth championship trophy of his career, and in six games, Jabbar averaged 25.7 points and 9 rebounds per game, and was elected the Finals MVP without suspense, and the 38-year-old FMVP was also the oldest FMVP in NBA history.
Malone won the regular season MVP at the age of 35
Having said that, the oldest Finals MVP, do you know who the NBA's oldest regular season MVP is? The answer is Carl Malone, another evergreen tree in the League. In the 98-99 season, due to the suspension of the NBA only played 50 games, in the end, Malone averaged 23.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, leading the Jazz to play a 37-13 record, and was elected the second regular season MVP of his life, at this time Malone had three months to reach the age of 36, so he was also the oldest MVP in the NBA. （ikuet）
