For professional athletes, in addition to injuries, age is obviously one of their biggest headaches, both of which will directly lead to a significant decline in the player's own competitive level.
Like before this year's rematch, the "demigod" Carter, who flew around in his youth, had to announce his retirement because of age problems.
And Anthony, a former All-Star veteran, is also visible to the naked eye in his current competitive state.
But Jamal Crawford, don't think age is a big issue.
In the 18-19 season, Crawford, who was 39 years old at the time, came off the bench to blast 51 points against the Lone Ranger, setting a new record for the oldest single game in NBA history.
But at the end of the season, he did not receive a contract extension from the rest of the team due to problems such as defense and age.
If it weren't for the Nets' injury season, Crawford would probably not have been able to play for an entire season last year.
As a result, the first game represented the Nets after the resumption, and Ke liu withdrew due to a left leg strain after only 6 minutes of appearances...
Crawford, who became a free agent again in the offseason, talked about his experience signing with the Nets during a recent podcast.
"I've been training before and the rematch looks pretty much the same as it did in training, so it didn't surprise my teammates," he said.
"The only thing that made them feel incredible was that I hadn't played in 16 months and that game we were against the League No. 1 Bucks, and I could still play, and they felt like I could keep up with the pace of the game."
At the same time, Ke liu believes: "Getting playing time is definitely more important than taking 50 points, I think I will continue to play next season, and I don't think I will wait for such a long time like this year".
Crawford, who is about to celebrate his 41st birthday, will he still be able to continue to play in the NBA?
From a competitive point of view, Digo does not think that he can still help the team on the field.
Although Ke Liu now has a certain scoring ability, it is not efficient, and because of its own sparse defense, the offensive and defensive ends completely highlight a "kill eight hundred enemies, self-loss one thousand" fatigue.
But on an emotional level, some teams that lack a dressing room leader can try to sign Crawford.
Although throughout his career, Ke Liu has never been a superstar, after all, seniority and age are there, coupled with his own affinity personality, he still has a certain right to speak on the bench.
It is worth mentioning that Ke Liu currently has a career total of 19,419 points, which is 581 points away from 20,000 points.
Before retiring as Mr. 20,000, he still had some hope...
