Reggie Miller looked like he could still play too. George Gervin blew up like a blimp

These old nba players age way better than the old nfl guys. Oscar Robertson is 83? Guy looks fantastic
Although they've lost some big names in the last few years, the NBA has been pretty remarkable in that most of their key players have been around an extremely long period of time. The only MVPs that have died have been Wilt, Unseld, Moses and Kobe. Guys like Cousy and Pettit have made it into their 90s.

Wow, that is pretty amazing.

Of the major team sports, in general, I’d say that NBA players are generally the most in shape, on average, at least during their playing years. Some baseball and football players look like they are moments away from a cardiac event, even as players. You don’t see that very much in the NBA.

You don't see it in the NHL either

Yep. He threw out the first pitch.

For the Phillies.

The bombs by Steph Curry 4' past the 3P line were certainly entertaining. I also think the off the glass dunks and so forth were a good show.

I don't think all the standard 3PAs by everyone else were particularly interesting to watch. For the ASG, they should extend the 3P line - that would be interesting.

ASG would be a good trial run for the 4pt shot.
