I would expect guys playing into their early 40s to be somewhat more common going forward. These guys are talking much better care of their bodies and sports medicine has come an incredibly long way to help these guys stay healthy and durable

billcosbyinspace | Celtics

32 | 4 hours ago

I actually think the opposite, these guys who were drafted in the mid-late 00’s seem like they might be the last generation with exceptionally long careers. AAU was a thing when these guys were growing up obviously but youth supports have morphed into such a monster that players are entering the league with way more wear and tear than they used to. Young players are encouraged to become one sport specialists early on to have the best chance of making the league which causes a lot of repetitive strain injuries, a prospect of lebrons caliber would never be allowed to play football like he was

itchy_sanchez | Mavericks

8 | 3 hours ago

I agree. I think LeBron, Brady, Djokovic will be the last players to play for an extended amount of time. There’s too many miles on the bodies of athletes now by the time they’re in their mid 20s.

Low-Measurement-2468

1 | 31 minutes ago

wear and tear on a human isn’t like on a car though. it’s not like people have a hard limit to how much basketball they can play and they’re burning through that meter earlier.

the real question is: is this player developing an overuse injury RIGHT NOW or not? a teenager playing 6 intense games a week is definitely at higher risk of that than others. but there are still lots of factors. how intense are their games? are they playing 6 games a week or 4? how well does their body recover naturally? are they getting consistent sleep? do their coaches encourage them to get rest when they need it? i’m not THAT knowledgeable when it comes to AAU schedules, but i know this stuff isn’t black and white. teenagers being run into the ground and playing through pain isn’t ubiquitous. and tissue recovery for teenagers is fucking insane.

my broader point is that i think a lot of people kind of misunderstand this concept and think that playing more games early on necessarily puts more miles on your joints in a permanent way that will affect you later, like miles on a car. not really how it works. if a teenager is playing a lot of games but not experiencing any concerning pain or inflammation, their body is adapting well to what they’re doing and may actually be in a better position to transition to NBA load when it’s time. conversely, if a young player is actually playing through pain for months or years, yes, that’s an overuse injury that can affect them longer term.

it varies from player to player. smart parents with real fitness knowledge will make sure their kid gets enough rest. but teenagers (especially ones with the genetics to make pro sports) can honestly play a fucking lot of sports without screwing themselves up as long as they’re eating and sleeping well. they’re kind of superhuman when it comes to recovery. i’m sure plenty of young players are still coming into the league very healthy.

Patekchrono917

That’s almost 30 years of specialized playing and then 25 years of specialized training for a body to hold up to. Along with bigger, stronger, and faster players that make money during an era that has awesome TV contracts and league revenue to go with it. The pace and space of today’s game doesnt do any favors either.
