And Moses was a technicality due to ABA merger, so I figured freddie had a legit claim at being the GOAT undrafted player eventually. Big Ben looms large at #1.

During the Masai presser, someone brought up how Pascal and FVV are already 27 years old and that they might've already peaked. That's also a hot topic here a couple of weeks ago and I swear to god people have short memory lol or they just create their own little narrative to fit their agenda.
KYLE LOWRY was 27 years old when the We The North era started. He went on and became a 6x all star for the Raps. He's 35 now and he's still pretty good. DeRozan I believe was 25 in 2014, fast forward 8 years and DeRozan is playing the best ball of his life.
I agree with Masai, I think there's still a lot of room for improvement for FVV and Pascal. 27 is not old lol.Mamba Mentality

Yeah there's a weird narrative out there that a 27/28 player is somehow old or something, when it's the opposite. If you look at the actual average age of the two or three main players on a team that actually wins a championship, it's almost never below 27/28. In fact the best combination of skill/athleticism/experience is probably around 29-32. That's not the age you want to start building around a guy, but you typically need guys on the 28-33 zone to win titles. A team full of 23 year olds is not winning anything.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

All depends on your game. Russell Westbrook's last season with OKC was when he was 30. And pretty out of his prime I think everybody can agree to that. Dwight Howards last All-Star game was at 28. James Harden is 32 and I think we all think he's never going back to his Houston days. Carmelo's last All-Star game was at 32. 28-29 was when he was statistically at his peak. Kawhi is not even 30 yet but I think easy to say his Toronto year was him at absolute peak at 27.
You gotta be a truly elite player to continue dominating after 30. Curry, KD, Lebron. But then you get Lowry and Derozan who are productive and effective still.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.
