Posted Oct 24, 2018
Basketball is not just a young man's game. The 2018 NBA season is underway and Vince Carter is returning for his 21st season on the court. He is the oldest active player in the league. But at 41 years old, even he is not the oldest NBA player ever to make a game appearance. That title belongs to Nat Hickey, who stepped onto the court at 45 years and 363 days old. (Yahoo! Sports)
