thats precisely my point. whether those guys go 13-16 years or whether they can play into their mid-late 30s. its hard for me to say, it might be an age thing it might be a wear/tear grind of the 82 game nba schedule, etc...
that being said with medicine the way it is now what was once a career ending issue now sometimes these guys return in the same season.
