Wilt Chamberlain got serious NBA offers at age 50 as he kept in very good shape after the NBA. He played professional volleyball for years. Nets offered him a million a year to play for them in 1986. Would have been awesome if he accepted. He could still rebound and block shots. He had a dozen NBA offers in his mid 40's. Dude was a beast.
One of the perfectly athletic human specimen
The game was also WAY different back then. Every player wasn't a freak athlete back when he played.
@@danieldevito6380still man always being jealous
@@danieldevito6380Stop the downtalk towards og legends.
@@danieldevito6380 maybe some people were less athletic but in todays game wilt will still be the most dominant center in the league. He used to train with Arnold Schwarzenegger and he lifted more than him with ease as Arnold said. His strength and also having a 40 inch vertical while running a 4.6 second 40 yard dash😭
"John Stockton was not athletic"
Played college baseball, high school football, hall of fame basketball player.
Sorta like Kareem called Larry Bird a chubby white guy..he also respected Bird but he was most definitely not chubby, could run all day long and of course demolished teams and players regularly
mic drop
Not athletic? By what standard?
@@jaydlytning right? he was badass
Yeah I fully agree, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. You can clearly see that even in his 40s he did not have an ounce of fat on his body. He was all muscle.
This thumbnail is a violation 😂😂
On god
Thumbnail is true tho😂
Imagine a 50 year old nba player.
Something I am very sad about is that Vince Carter did not return to toronto as a veteran
they hated him lol
@@chaimlakota13 not really. He had a reconciliation and the guy's jersey is being asked to be retired.
His impact on canadian basketball and on the growth of the Raptor's fandom it is huge
Vince Carter one if my favorite players 💪
@@chaimlakota13 I grew loving then hating him. I though he should come back for his last season though, even with our playoff aspirations at the time
He didn’t make a second stint with the Toronto Raptors because they hated like him. He was the one that put Toronto on their back.
That comment at the end of the video was too savage. Poor Tom 😂
Bro I used the watch your videos when I first got UA-cam
Vince Carter is the only player in NBA history to play in 4 different decades. If it were possible to play to the 2030’s his nickname would be Half-Man, Half A Century!
That's nuts. He saw 4 decades of basketball
video is dumb for calling him lazy! He was so good injuries got to him. I don't how you can get that good while being lazy.
@@mikrobyo1790 it’s what got him traded to the nets
@@maliknegasi3282 I thought he was traded because he body slammed his coach
Vince Carter is a really interesting story. He went from this 'bad boy' image that his penchant to shoot destroyed team chemistry...to evolving into a man and a great teammate. He's truly one of the NBA's nicer guys. I think he got an extra season or two because coaches and players love the person he is, who he chose to be.
The commentary on Vince Carter makes this video sound like it was produced by a CASUAL. Vince could always shoot and score at all three levels and play defense.
Lol man wtf Carter was overrated and lazy on Toronto. Didn’t do sh in jersey. Was a journey man after that. Lol as a Toronto fan f that I don’t even want them to retire his number. Lol
The question is, how many were playing at high levels late in their careers? Kareem won an NBA Finals MVP at 38 and another title at 41.
Kareem sky hook beating my teams. I hated Kareem. Because he was too good. Media never told us off the court what a great person Jabbar is. Same thing happened to Ali. Hopefully kids of all skin tones are taught in school better information now.
why bring up race weirdo, they are worshipped in america what are you even crying about? @@Greg-io1ip
Since Manute Bol’s birth certificate was lost, he could’ve been much older, some say 50 years old
Exactly
Fr
Maybe 60
The Vince slander is outrageous 😂
I agree. Vince lazy? I don't think so
Exactly 😂, I know I wasn’t tripping
@@det4ever94 He was early in his career.
Slandered Stockton too, bros just a hater
@@chrismathgenius no he wasn’t, he played in Toronto with zero help and only “played lazily” to force a trade after T-Mac left. Y’all are weird af 😂
This is just unreal and crazy that these legends managed to still keep playing at an elite level at their ages.

Stockton had awesome athleticism. His defense and steals were just as good as passing.
No he didn’t have athletics he wasn’t doing anything athletic
@@Ontiming2023 Throwing yourself at players just to draw fouls including centers. All without getting injured? Yeah that's pretty athletic.
Yessir and he was a freaking iron man too, he only missed 22 games in his entire 19 season Career
Stockton is slow moving and slow pace play that's why he never injured in today's game you always run run and run the pace is to fast so the injury increased 90s are the most overrated era and I'm 40 I've seen it
@@sportslangtv2181 damn what u on bro? u straight up tripping lol
I played basketball into my 60s, full court, with younger guys. I will tell you Stockton's reasons for longevity because some of them were mine. First, let me say that contrary to what the video says, Stockton had immense athleticism. However, he did not have the normal athleticism found in the NBA. He had a quickness in his feet and hands rather than an amazing vertical leap. That's how he led the league in steals. Anyway, he had a very long career because #1, he never had a catastrophic injury, #2, he was put together with some pretty good glue. In other words, he had good connective tissues. And #3, he wanted to play a long time and he did what was necessary in terms of fitness to do that. Lastly, unlike many players in all sports, Stockton was not concerned about diminishing personal statistics and status due to aging. The same can be said of Steve Nash, and for that matter, Michael Jordan, both of whom played to 39.
of course, he had athleticism how can you play over 1500 games in NBA and not. He was fast and quick, Hops and skin color do not define athletes. perpetuating stereotypes can work both ways and cause issues. The narrator should be careful
@@alexanderomoniyiajayi1589 About 20 years earlier, the same thing was said about Pete Rose, that his success in the major leagues was due almost entirely to hustle and determination because he had minimal athletic talent. Such talk can be annoying.
@@alexanderomoniyiajayi1589 every player that gets to the NBA is athletic compared to the average person but even between NBA players there can be a huge difference. it also depends on what people mean by athletic. Often they say a guy that can`t jump through the roof isn`t as athletic. someone that has low muscle mass isn`t athletic but Stockton was a machine, very durable and high endurance. he probably even had a good vertical compared to the average guy but i doubt his vertical was anywhere close to 40inches which is often what people would consider very athletic.
I mean, people often say Steph Curry isn`t very athletic when in fact he is an athletic freak compared to most peopole. there is more to athleticism than just being jacked and jumping 40inches. Quickness, changing directions fast, first-step speed, hand-eye coordination etc. are all aspects of being athletic but are often overlooked. people will just keep saying Giannis is athletic and Stockton was an average guy :/
John Stockton had virtually zero athleticism? Bro, check your facts.
i thought for sure Bill Cartwright would make this list. watching him growing up i thought he was ancient back then.
You didn't see Stockton play, did you? In the first half of his career, he was one of the quickest players in the NBA
simulator meiji herseys
Boy stfuuuu neither did you
Those clips of Stockton were savage.
Bro your my fav UA-camr hands down 🔥🥶
That blow at Tom Brady was crazy
I love your vids bro 🔥

Haslem , Jason kidd , Stockton, Kareem are all great examples of guys who loved the game, their hearts were in it
John Stockton zero athleticism? That's about the dumbest statement ever recorded.
John Stockton's accolades are INCREDIBLE.
One of the greatest player ever.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@user-dr2ww2jg8o what???
Amazing video and creative idea this is what I like about youtubers
*Great clip Thanks*
Amazing video
I think you should make a video on Patrick Ewing or Ron Artest. They both had a lot of impact in the NBA.
whey protein
Huh?
You shoulda talked about UD going off his final game
For being 6”1 Stockton looked 5”7 with his body size
I always thought that to
@@gobigorange cause I’m 5”7 an me Stockton an iverson have the same body frame if you don’t see them in person you would think he’s only 5”7 because of his body structure these are really small men for there height especially iverson he’s literally 6”0 but people say he’s shorter when he’s not
Great video
Stockton is the most undervalued legend. Most kids have no idea how amazing he is. Easily top three point guard and if I put together an all time starting five he would have to get heavy consideration above curry considering scoring isn’t needed what is needed is passing and defense
Love your video Nonstop
How can you say, John Stockton or any NBA player, "has zero athleticism."?? Dude! Have you ever played ANY sport. How dare you disrespect Stockton like that? I be he's a better athlete now that you ever were.
I love your videos ❤❤
Udonis Haslem should become the heats assistant coach when he retires
Love this chanel ,love NBA ,and support Phila from Bosnia 💙🇧🇦
What a cool video!!!
Great vid
That thumbnail is next level! lol
I was pretty lucky to have grown up in the extra long Era of Kareem. When Kareem retired in 1989, I was 31 years old myself, and I honestly could not remember watching a single Basketball season without him.
He is the reason I started liking MILWAUKEE!
I was 8-years-old in 1971 when Kareem and Oscar Robertson led the Milwaukee Bucks to the 1970-71 title. That Bucks team was my favorite team back then.....match-ups between the Bucks and the Lakers in the early '70s is still my favorite match-up of All-Time. Between 1970 through 1973, the Lakers and the Bucks were the most dominating teams in the NBA at that time. Also, the Bucks and Lakers both played in the Western Conference back then, so even though they were the best two teams, they could never play each other for the NBA Championship. Yeah, the Knicks had a great team back then as well, winning two Championships, in 1969-70 and again in 1972-73, but the Lakers and Bucks for about four years were the most dominating teams at that time.

Kevin Willis played at Michigan State for one of the greatest guard coaches there ever was, Jud Heathcote. Unfortunately, it was hard to tell Kevin was even in the game when he played for MSU, his size and skills didn't fit the Spartan's game plan very well. As a Spartan fan, I've always been amazed at the longevity of Kevin Willis' career.
Detroit Pershing Doughboy, him and Steve Smith, went to the same High school, college/MSU/, and won a championship with the 2003 San Antonio Spurs
5:11
Kareem is fairly high on the NBA list for minutes played - but only due to the longevity.
There are quite a few players (led by WILT at 46+) that averaged more time played per game.
Thank you, may God bless you all and everyone. ❤
A banger otw 🔥
Stockton was a insane player that day
Bob Cousy was in Celtic Pride with Daniel Stern & Dan Aykroyd
At 61 years old, John Stockton *still looks like my accountant.*
I was an elementary student when Vince Carter stepped in NBA, and my son goes to elementary school when he retires.
Nat Hickey was also the earliest-born player ever to play in the BAA/NBA. You need to know that when the BAA merged with the NBL and changed its name to the NBA in 1949, it wasn't a new league. Therefore, the NBA recognizes BAA records.
3:00
But keep in mind that PROFESSIONS like Plummer and Electrician were making LESS at that time - perhaps 2-3 thousand a year.
COSTS were also a lot lower.
First basketball competition was actually formed in 1898. The National Basketball League last until 1904, disbanded mid way through its sixth season.
Man John Stockton was a DAWG‼️ 💪🏾💯
Remember, Kareem's first 4 years blocks were not recorded.
Along wirh Wilt and Bill Russell never having a recorded block.
Is athletiscm only equate to jumping ability in your narrow mind?
If you're talking about Stockton he wasn't the fastest or strongest even at his position. His durability is crazy and dedication and work ethic guys now can take stuff from him like ja. But nobody thinks athletic with Stockton
John Stockton skinny long NBA career INSANE
PLayer coach stories pretty cool
"Parrish thanks YODA for keeping on the floor for so long? " Never underestimate the power of the force!
Don't forget Manute Bol was still playing at age 55
look at Stockton's arms. He might look like an accountant until he took a suit off.
Top 10 oldest NBA players in the history of the league.
Nat Hickey
Kevin Willis
Robert Parish
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Dikembe Mutombo
Bob Cousy
Herb Williams
John Stockton
Vince Carter

Honorable Mentions:
Karl Malone
Manu Ginobili
Rick Mahorn
Jason Terry
And MJ (in the Wizards)
Michael Jordan was in his later career as he played for the Washington Wizards for the final two years before retiring for good. He often criticized his teammates from the Wizards for their lack of focus and consistency. Also, he was criticized for drafting Kwame Brown to the Wizards.
Kevin Willis Was The Oldest NBa Player To Retire In 2007 His Championship Was In Spurs 2003
You guys should do a how good was Chris Webber actually.

What's sad is that the NBA does NOT count ABA records - even though the ABA has had a LOT more effect on the NBA style of play.
Or as Doctor J once said shortly after moving to the NBA from the ABA during the merger, "They're playing our style".
6:06 scared me there for just a second
For the life of me I’ll never comprehend the “John Stockton wasn’t athletic” thing. Gary Payton said he feared guarding Stockton more than MJ because of the conditioning he was in. You’re not tiring out Gary Payton unless you’re an athlete. He only gets that label because of the way he looks.
Do the 10 worst players in NBA History
lol, last line was cold.
If they have a j in their name they will play long and have great defence sometimes even to good like 4 DPOY good
Saying John Stockton is not athletic is crazy.
Manu Ginobili and MJ deserves an honorable mention in this video. They weren't in the top 10 oldest nba player list but they still played like they're young even though they were in their 40s
pataas semento
Even though Kareem would have been an immediate success out of high school, he probably benefited from going to college for four years. NBA seasons are brutal. Many big men seem to suffer serious injuries that dramatically impact their abilities (i.e. Ralph Sampson, Bill Walton).
great love of the game
It feels like Haslem is, at least, 54 years old. He's an awesome locker room presence and a philosopher of the "Heat Way."
I'm sure Herb Williams gave this video a thumbs up
Kevin Willis and his infamous T REX arms.
ALL-TIME NBA 🏀 GREAT JOHN STOCKTON#12 WITH 17 SEASONS OF 82 GAMES PLAYED IS A RIDICULOUS STAT ..
We need to get nonstop to 1 m
John Stockton 0 ATHLETICISM?! tell me you don't know squat about sports without telling me you don't know squat about sports
0:19 ah yes, the good old 1 foot and 6 inch tall Stockton...
I knew exactly what the video was about after looking at the thumbnail
Wish Kobe, jordan, Shaq, Iverson, Paul pierce, Shawn Kemp all played 3 more seasons
What is this channel's obsession with saying that John Stockton looks like an accountant?
Racism
Herb Williams traveled in the beginning of the clip 😂
THIS WAS INTERESTING...............
Jaylen Brown your next video Nonstop 🔥🔥🔥
John Stockton...ZERO athleticism? What a ridiculous thing to say! And Bobby Fischer had no idea how to play chess.
Udonis Haslem officially announced his retirement yesterday (7/28), a while after this was uploaded.
Can you do a video on Paul George’s career please
John Stockton had ZERO Athleticism ? WTF ?!?!?!?! You do not lead the league in assists for years unless you are a tremendous athlete.
6:32
Oldest guy in his draft class
and the only Hall Of Famer.
Stockton is multi talented. First basketball and now a physician! Thank goodness the basketball HOF doesn't have a height requirement.
Stockton 💪
John Stockton having “virtually zero” athleticism is wild
Do how good was Larry Johnson
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I expected to see James Edwards on this list! Maybe, he retired at 38-39, though. He WAS old when he finally retired, though!
Mutombo got 7 names 🤯
Quick check of the math tells me Williams was making $10,000 per point, not $1000. Even better!
We're off topic, not the oldest to play but who plays the longest at the same level!
College coach who recruited Manute Bol to the US says the 7-foot-7 basketballer might have been in his 50s when he played in the NBA. Mackey went on to explain that he made Bol 23 years old at the time but thinks the player might have already been in his 40s in 1984.
Normally it's fairly easy to tell a man in his 40s from a man in his early 20s, no?
