The peak age of NBA players' strength and mentality is generally between 28 and 32 years old, and players over 32 years old are generally called veterans. Injuries and age are the biggest nemesis of NBA players, and many NBA players will decline in athleticism after the age of 35, and their strength will also decline. However, a star like LeBron James, who is still at his peak at the age of 35, is now 39 years old, and he can still contribute an average of 24 per game8 points +72 rebounds +78 assists +13 steals and 52 percent from the field0%。Durant and Curry are also already the oldest superstars after James. 43+8！41+9！The whole league says you're old, but the NBA all-time record is close at hand.
James and Durant, once the kings of the NBA league, are now the oldest stars in the NBA. James scored 39,868 career points in the regular season, just 132 points away from the 40,000-point record. This season, Lao Zhan will definitely break the 40,000-point milestone. Durant is 35 years old this season, and he averages 282 points +66 rebounds +57 assists +09 steals +13 blocks and a shooting percentage of 538% and 44 percent from three-point range3% and 87 free throw percentage1%。Durant still maintains his peak stats and strength.
James has never suffered a major injury in his career, which is truly incredible. Kevin Durant suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2019, which is the most fatal injury for NBA players, and Kobe Bryant retired early because of a ruptured Achilles tendon. In the 2019-2020 season, Durant was reimbursed for one year in order to recuperate from an injury. In the 2020-21 season, Durant ushered in a comeback, but he only played in 35 games in a season (minor injuries continued, and there were stops and stops). In the 3 seasons of the Nets, Durant's attendance rate is not high, and many fans are worried, afraid that he will be ruined by injury + age. The whole league is worried that Durant is old and his strength is not good.
However, Durant's attendance rate with the Suns this season is 875%, which is the highest attendance rate in a season since Durant's Achilles tendon rupture. Not only is Durant the Suns' leading scorer this season, but he's also a top-five superstar in the league. Durant scored 43 points + 8 assists + 6 rebounds + 2 steals + 2 blocks in a single game, 41 points + 9 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 steals + 1 block in a single game, 41 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 blocks in a single game, 40 points + 6 rebounds + 4 assists + 2 steals in a single game, etc. Durant still has a lot of ease with 30+ and 40+.
Super No. 1 rookie guard Wall, who was once the league's No. 1 center, Cousins, both ruined their talent and strength due to a ruptured Achilles tendon or torn cruciate ligament, and they were out of play early. Kevin Durant, on the other hand, is one of the few players in NBA history to experience a major Achilles tendon rupture injury and return to the top. Durant and Curry are both 35 years old, and they are already veterans of the NBA league, but we see that James can still play so strong data and strength at such an old age, which makes us think that it is natural for the 35-year-old Durant and Curry to maintain their peak strength.
Durant's career regular season total points are 28,245 points (10th all-time), which is only 1,755 points away from the 30,000-point record. If Durant hadn't suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and missed as many games, he would have reached the 30,000-point milestone a long time ago. Now that Durant maintains such average data and state per game, he will definitely break the 30,000-point record if he stays healthy and plays another season. Harden scored 25,531 points in the regular season (22nd all), Willow scored 25,061 points in the regular season (25th all), and Curry scored 23,097 points in the regular season (34th all). Durant, Harden, Westbrook and Curry, who can reach the 30,000-point milestone?
