Which former superstar players aged the most gracefully?

[QuebecBaller]

Vince Carter at age 36 is really not bad a player at all.

Sure he's no longer prime 25/4/4 with highlights every single night...

but look at this Mavericks years per 36 minute numbers

field goal may not be the best, but fewer shots per game and more reliant on outside with ever improved outside shot.

plus he still has the ability to make a poster or two

Carter took the same road as Michael Finley did

[Yankstar]

Mailman

[JohnFreeman]

Carter

[KNOW1EDGE]

Duncan, Pierce, Garnett, Vince Carter

Dirk and Duncan come to mind for me, Kobe hasn't aged at all tbh. Vince Carter is still a baws

[L.Kizzle]

It really is incredible how Vince has aged. In his prime, he was so reliant on athleticism and he was injury prone...few would have seen this coming.

Meanwhile, Allen Iverson has been out of the league for like 4 years

VC being injury prone is a myth. Of his 18 seasons one season he played 43. Another 2 he was at 60 and 61 games. Every other season he's playing 73 or more games. 3 times he never missed a game in a season. 3 other seasons he just missed out with 80 and 81 games played.

Karl Malone, for sure. He was still putting up 21/8/5 at 39.

Dirk!!!!!!! Need the winking Gif of his..

Garnett is still DPOY candidate and main offensive threat in year 19 so...

It can't be a coincidence after your recent post about Kobe (vs Bird) and selflessness and now this. Did you watch KG this past year? DPOY and main offensive threat in year 19 - lol at your comment (not at KG - he's got a lot of mileage).

Kobe, MJ, Dikembe, Stockton, Malone

I have to give Kareem credit for playing 20 seasons without the benefit of today's medical wonders. The late 90's guys have clearly benefitted from the leaps in technology over the past 20 years.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Kareem is the right answer. Then you got Malone and Duncan.

Dude like Dennis Johnson was never really a superstar but I just like how he went from more of an explosive SG, more "based on" athleticism (great athlete with skills), to more of a PG with a steadier and smarter, calm and collected game (with the C's when he had put on considerable weight and lost a step or two in the athletic department), always a great defender.

Im going to say a player nobody else mentioned Clyde Drexler.

[Angel Face]

If we include retired players...

Jordan, dude's dropping 40 at age 40.
Stockton
Kareem...

Basically guys who have high bball IQ.

[LAZERUSS]

Chamberlain.
