With the start of the NBA season, many young players have played excellent performances, like the Grizzlies' Jamorant, and the Timberwolves' Edwards and Hornets' three-goal, the league has a thriving situation, with the growth of these young people, I believe that in the future NBA will be a colorful scene, but the young generation is old, many young players to the peak will inevitably have a lot of veterans began to decline.
Today we will take stock of the veterans who are still in good shape, for the 32-34-year-old players will not say much, after all, with the advancement of technology and medicine, most players will now maintain the peak state at this age, after the age of 35 will gradually go downhill, today we will rank the top ten in the active 35 years old veterans, almost the peak period is the existence of all-star level.
The tenth Millsap is 37 years old
The former 4-time All-Star big forward, at its peak, was an average of 18+7+4 per game, very comprehensive, but now the 37-year-old Millsap also has a weak heart, joined the Nets with a base salary in the offseason, wanted to win the long-desired championship, and as a result, Millsap was sent to the 76ers on the closing date of the trade, but it seems that Millsap has earned, after all, the current 76ers are more like a championship team, and Millsap's play after coming here is also good.
He averaged 4 points, 3 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 10.4 minutes per game, shooting 45.8% from the field and 28.6% from three-point range. Although there is no ability to cut 11 points in 28 seconds at the peak of the heat to subdue the Heat Big Three, it is undeniable that the current Millsap experience is here, he can give the team help, especially in the playoffs, his spatial ability, strategy ability will help the team, but 2.01 meters of height, slow foot movement, I am afraid that in the playoffs will also be targeted, so ranked tenth.
Ninth Howard is 36 years old
Talent is good after all, master Huo even if he does not get as much playing time as before, but with excellent strength and speed, he can help the team as long as he plays, this season so far averaged 14.7 minutes per game can get 5.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists 0.6 steals 0.6 blocks, shooting percentage as high as 60.7%, after 20 years of winning the championship seems to become Howard's final chapter, back to the Lakers will never see the opportunity to win the championship again.
The peak of the Warcraft is able to single james existence, if he can work hard, maybe the current league can not enter the small ball era, on the talent and athletic ability alone, no one in the active center can match the peak of the Warcraft, but the original Howard did not learn no skills, and finally ended up in a point where he would only eat cake, but think about the year when a person who would only eat cake and rely on defense to lead the team to the finals, what is this level? Howard's peak has always been underestimated, and it is even more incomprehensible that he was not selected for the 75.
The eighth Rondo is 36 years old
This offseason Lakers recalled the former champions, but the three days of Shibetsu, not only Did Howard not have the previous state, Rondo's state is also a cliff-like decline, his defensive ability is almost gone, and it is for this reason that the Lakers finally gave Rondo to the Cavaliers in vain, the Cavaliers gave him more tactical status after getting Rondo, Rondo's performance is also good, averaging 7.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in 21 minutes per game, shooting 42.4% from the field and 37% from three-point range.
Even if Rondo is old, he can contribute to a team, his ability to read the game looks at the entire league, that is, several people can compare, it can be said that he is the coach on the field, may not be able to run on his legs and feet, but he can also help the team off the field, the best passer in the league in the past, perhaps not one, Rondo has averaged more than 11 assists per game for three consecutive seasons, and has delivered 20+ assists in 11 single games in his career.
Seventh Iguodala is 38 years old
The Warriors brought Iguodala back to the team in the offseason, and in the heat of the past two years, a brother pit Riley a lot of salary, and returned home, he asked for a basic salary contract, and the Warriors brought him back more because of Letting Iguodala bring young players. In very little playing time, Iguodala still has a good contribution, averaging 4.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 19.9 minutes per game this season.
Iguodala no longer has the ability to fly in the sky, but the advantage is that he has the same excellent ball quotient as Rondo, the former Iguodala is also an All-Star, and he also led the Nuggets into the playoffs, but the Warriors became the sixth man, which is why Iguodala was able to win the FMVP in the first place, his strength is there. It is estimated that Iguodala will retire after this contract, and he may stay in the Warriors management.
Sixth Ard was 36 years old
Last season because of heart reasons, Ade chose to retire, which has also become a key factor in the Nets to lose the championship, this season Ade returned, want to make up for regrets, but unfortunately Irving's part-time job and Harden's departure made the veteran probably miss another season, and now the Nets He is an indispensable thigh-level figure for the team, averaging 13.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1 block per game, shooting 55.4% from the field and 31.1% from three-point range.
Although he still maintains a good state, but he is not at the peak after all, in the defensive end because of the slow pace is often targeted by opponents, but the advantage of the technical flow player is to preserve the value, Ade can become the top of the list because of his excellent skills and Popovich recruited him to the Spurs is also valued for his skills, but he does not have Duncan's leadership ability and defense, I believe that even next season Ade will have a good contribution, or that sentence, because his skills are too good.
Fifth Anthony was 37 years old
At the beginning because of the ruthless abandonment of the Rockets, Anthony was directly reduced to no ball to play, and finally it was the Blazers who gave Guago the opportunity to let him prove himself, and during the Blazers' time, Anthony also learned to play without the ball, and practiced to the realm, after the Lakers introduced Westbrook in the offseason, the team's salary was tight, in this case, James called Anthony's phone, and the good brother agreed and joined with the base salary, and the result was that Guago was pit by old Zhan.
Now the Lakers are a play-off team, if you want to win Anthony must play well, a 37-year-old veteran and a father and a mother, the key people still take the basic salary, let no one look inappropriate, right? This season, Anthony can average 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals, 0.9 blocks, shooting 44.7% from the field and 39% from three-point range, according to The current style of play of Guago, he can still play in the league for several years, and his physical condition is also very good.
Fourth Horford is 35 years old
Putting Horford in this position may be unconvinced by many fans, after all, Horford's single data is not as good as Anthony and Ade's, how to reach the top four? Mainly because he has played too much for the Celtics on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, for so many years the Celtics' axis has only been Horford, even if he is away for two seasons, the Celtics have struggled for two years, and now that Horford is back, the Celtics are now in fifth place in the division.
So far this season, Horford can average 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 blocks, shooting 45.2%, three-point shooting rate of 32%, Horford's strategy and defensive ability is still very good, he is still the ball blind appraiser, although now facing the peak of the Emperor and Jokic He can not defend, but in the face of Mobley and Clarkston these rookie inside line, he is still more than enough, this season the Green Army can rise thanks to him.
The third Tucker is 36 years old
Entering the strongest trio, a second-round show has no good statistics, and it is past 35 years old, he can still get a 2-year contract of 14.35 million, so what kind of player is this? You may say that this is a veteran who has contributed to the team for many years, but it is not, Tucker is a newcomer to the heat, with excellent defensive ability and spatial ability, Tucker has been recognized by the team, and he also helped the Bucks win the championship last season.
So far this season Tucker can average 8.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists 0.8 steals per game, shooting 49.9% from the field and 44.4% from three-point range, Tucker is a player whose data cannot be reflected, he can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and is very tough, never pulling the crotch when the team needs it, and now the league's top stars like What Alphabet Brother and Durant have suffered in the confrontation with Tucker, the veteran's top blue-collar worker.
The second Paul was 36 years old
What is the biggest difference between a great point guard and an ordinary point guard? It is the great point guard who can do the older and more demon, the same is true of Kidd at that time, and now Paul is even worse than that, because in addition to having Kidd-like defense and passing, paul also has a stable mid-range shooting ability, among all the traditional point guards in history, Paul's scoring ability is the strongest, and this season's 36-year-old Paul can still give the team a lot of help, averaging 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 10.7 assists, 1.9 steals per game, shooting 48.7% from the field and 33% from three-point range.
Paul's ability to lead the team is really too good, if it is not too old, put in the lineup given to him by the sun five years ago, it is not good to win the championship, although the sun is still in the first position in the league, but it is undeniable that this team does not have super-giant level players, Paul is old, Booker and Ayton are not yet mature, although they have a chance to kill the division, but I am not optimistic that they can win the championship.
First James was 37 years old
Although the old Zhan's team record is not better than Paul's, it is undeniable that James is the best player over 35 years old, even if he is 37 years old, now the old Zhan no longer relies on talent, his passing ability, long-distance projection and offensive skills have come to the peak of his career, he has quietly completed the transformation in the past two years, which is also a key factor for him to maintain the peak, averaging 29.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block this season, shooting 52.2%, The three-point shooting percentage is 35.4%.
The second in the league to average points per game, at the age of 37, the old Zhan has played the best data in the past few years, and the number of blocks and steals is also higher than in the past few years, it can be seen that this year he is more stressed, there is no way for anyone to let Pelinka make such a mess, and the Lakers are the first round this season.
