We often say in life that 40 is the new 30, 30 is the new 20, and so on! That definitely seems to be the case in the NBA, as we have had some old dudes putting on a show. Whether it was LeBron in the regular season or Chris Paul going berserk in the fourth quarter in these playoffs or Al Horford’s masterpiece in Game 4 against Milwaukee. That prompted a question from Slam Studios and fans had a lot of say!
Kevin love 6th man
The 6th man of the year Kevin Love. Be the young guy at 33.
Love, Melo > Brook
kevin love over lopez
We see some love for Kevin Love, who’s been a great Sixth man for the Cavaliers this season and is worthy of a spot here. Another name that popped up there was Carmelo, and that sure wasn’t the only instance!
Carmelo? Y’all just disrespect that man it’s sad
Melo
MELO 6th old man of the year let’s gooo
There were some slightly lesser-known names being thrown in too, with PJ Tucker being suggested by some.
should be PJ Tucker at PF and Al at center
missing pj tucker
Meanwhile, others wondered why one particular big name was omitted from the starting lineup itself! Kevin Durant anyone?
lmao kd not even considered
KD over Al
Where kd?
Some even took the opportunity to poke fun at one of the most hilarious takes of all time with Max Kellerman on Andre Iguodala!
Fate of the universe on the line, I want IGUDALA!
A pair of old teammates, perhaps?
lowry demar
Who do you think deserves to be the Sixth man? Or is there a need for change in the starting lineup itself? Decisions, decisions!
It speaks to the sheer dedication to their craft that we have so many of these athletes performing at such a high level despite their advanced ages. The likes of LeBron, CP3, and Curry don’t look like they’re going anywhere in a hurry either, so we get to appreciate their greatness for the years to come!
