Who is your all grandpa team?

[Elvis P]

If you had to come up with a 12 player list of all time NBA players so old in their last year they could be called grandpas, who would it be? Could this team beat the 15-16 Sixers?

15-16 Kevin Garnett
15-16 Tim Duncan
15-16 Kobe Bryant
12-13 Juwan Howard
12-13 Jason Kidd
06-07 Kevin Willis
03-04 Karl Malone
02-03 John Stockton
02-03 Michael Jordan
96-97 Robert Parish
95-96 James Edwards
88-89 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Daaamn, KG and Duncan (if he doesn't retire) are the only remaining players left from my first NBA video game (Live 98).

Elite NCAA teams (UK, Nova, Duke, UNC etc) could beat the '15-16 Sixers.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

^ No they can't.

 

[Stylizer1]

Jordan by himself could beat them.

 

[DaveG]

That team would demolish the 6ers.

Don't know why people say things like this.
Sixers would kill any of the best NCAA teams in extreme blowout fashion.

Yeah, people dont realize the gap. Go watch top NCAA players dominate their game, then see most are invisible when they first get to the league. It takes time to grow into a pro player, most don't do it seamlessly.

Men against boys, literally.


Does anyone know of this actually happening? Someone becoming a grandfather while still a pro athlete? It's definitely possible as some have kids at 15 and 16.. Could be grandpa by 35?

Good chance Gordie did it.

 

[Halladay]

Didnt realize Nazr Mohammed still plays.

 

[SJGoalie32]

Jordan by himself could beat them.

Mike Ditka and a 14-inch mini-Jordan could beat the Sixers

Howe's sons were 25 and 26 when he retired, so it wouldn't have been at all surprising for them to have had kids, although I don't know if it actually happened or not.
