Who Is the Oldest Player in the NBA Right Now?
LeBron James is the oldest player in the NBA right now, who ironically was once one of the youngest NBA players back in 2003.
James has consistently helped his teams boast short NBA championship odds throughout his lengthy career, showcasing a level of longevity never seen before.
The four-time MVP can still control the pace of a game with his sharp basketball IQ, which helps him identify when to attack the rim or find his open teammates for clean looks.
