That’s impressive
We are witnessing an era of basketball longevity that defies every historical precedent. As the 2025-26 regular season wraps up, the stars who defined the 2010s aren't just "hanging on" they are performing at an elite level nearly two decades into their journeys.
The numbers tell a story of total physical mastery. Stephen Curry (17th year) remains a premier offensive engine, leading the veterans with 27.0 PPG. In Cleveland, James Harden has reinvented his game, orchestrating the offense with 23.7 PPG and 8.1 APG in his 17th campaign.
Kevin Durant (18th year) continues his scoring brilliance in Houston, averaging 25.8 PPG, while Russell Westbrook provides veteran stability with 15.2 PPG and 6.7 APG in his 18th season.
Even DeMar DeRozan maintains his scoring punch, contributing 18.4 PPG for the Kings in his 17th season. Leading the pack is LeBron James, who in his 23rd season is averaging 20.9 PPG and 7.1 APG, recently becoming the oldest player to record a triple-double at age 41.
