In the NBA, there are players who have been in excellent form for a long time, but there are also players who don't seem to have made any significant progress after playing for at least 15 years. Here are three of them.
First, let's take a look at Kevin Durant. Now 36 years old, Durant is in his 17th season. This season, he averaged 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
Surprisingly, in the MVP season 10 years ago, he averaged almost the same number per game as he does now, with 32 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. This means that Durant's stats haven't changed much in the last 15 years.
Next up is Curry, who is also 36 years old and is currently in his 15th season in the NBA. This season, he averaged 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. In his MVP season eight years ago, he had 30 points, five rebounds and six assists. Similar to Durant, Curry's stats have barely grown during that time.
The last star is LeBron James. James, now 39 years old, ushered in his 21st season in the NBA. This season, he averaged 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game. In the MVP season 15 years ago, he had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. It can be seen that James's stats have not changed much during this time.
The stats of these three stars haven't changed much in the last 15 years, which perhaps means that they have reached the peak of their game and have not improved significantly in that time. Of course, we can't ignore the impact of age on players, and these data can be influenced by some age-related factors.
