NBA Players Who Are Younger/Older Than You Think 

Post#1 » by Liam_Gallagher » Fri Dec 11, 2020 6:36 pm

Who are some dudes who have deceiving ages? I think of Thad Young as a guy who I can't believe is still only 32. Feels like he's been in the league forever. Also, Andrew Bynum just turned 33, which is wild. Then you have guys like Mo Harkless who have been in the league for a while and is only 27 years old.

On the other end, Devonte Graham is only 2 years younger than Harkless. Joe Harris is almost 30.

Andris Biedrins is just 34 years old.

From active players Buddy Hield will be 28 already in the upcoming days.

And still some people think he is young player haha Just because he was drafted in 14 which is not so long ago.
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Yes. He's almost a year older than Westbrook.

Obviously, with their very contrasting styles, there are legit reasons why people question Westbrook's longevity more than Curry... but it was still surprising considering how they're discussed.



[Note: Kevin Love is another one. I feel like he's an old man on his last trip around the league in a game that's passed him by. And that's all sorta true... but he's also younger than Curry.]

35-36 vs 40 isn't really that big a difference for normal athletes. They're all done by either age.

Andre Drummond seems like he's been around forever but he just turned 27 in August.

Get this: Drummond is 8 months younger than Buddy Hield, who was drafted 4 years after Drummond.
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.
