Lol dude, not true in more than half of the cases here´s some context:
Kemba Walker, arrived in Monaco at 33 last year, not that old.
Bill Laimbeer played in Brescia when he was 22 and 23, not that old.
Dominique Wilkins, arrived at Panathinaikos Greece at 35, past his prime although he retired in Orlando at age 39.
Allen Iverson, arrived at Besiktas age 35, past his prime
Byron Scott, Panathinaikos Greece, age 36, past his prime
Amare Stoudemire, Hapoel Jerusalem 2016, age 34 past his prime but not that old for his position
Josh Childress, Olympiacos Greece 2008, age 25 not that old
Alex English, Napoli, age 38 past his prime
Scottie Pippen, Finnish team Torpan Pojat and the Swedish team Sundsvall Dragons in 2008, age 33 not that old
Dennis Rodman, Torpan Pojat Finland 2005 age 44 definitely past his prime
Artis Gilmore, Bologna 1988 age 39, definitely past his prime
Darryl Dawkins, Auxilum Torino 1989 age 32, not that old
Larry Spriggs, Real Madrid 1986 age 27, not that old
Brandon Jennings, St. Petersburg Russia, 2018 age 29 not that old
Xavier McDaniel, Iraklis Greece 1995, age 32 not that old
Deron Williams, Besiktas Turkey 2011, age 27 not that old
Bob McAdoo, Tracer Milan 1986, age 35, past his prime but I remember him play and he was GREAT
George Gervin, Manresa Spain 1989, age 38, way past his prime and came straight out of rehab to play in Spain, he was the fucking man, he saved Manresa from getting demoted, scoring 39, 33, 43 and 31 points in the playoffs for demotion vs Tenerife, the man was clearly way out of shape but played so elegantly and effortlessly he will always be remembered.
Lol you need to work on your math skills. You said half but you list 19 guys and acknowledge that at least 10 were past their prime. Lambier was part of Detroits back to back but he was objectively not a great player - he was a bully in the 80s NBA. Kemba was only 33 but had like 17 knee surgeries. Deron Williams played in the NBA until he was 33-34 so not sure where you pulled that number from. Also not sure I would use Brandon Jennings and Josh Childress to prove your point. But agree to disagree lol…
