When groups load up on veterans, it’s sometimes as a result of they’re all in to win a title. These groups primarily put all their playing cards on the desk trying to cross the end line with every part they’ve obtained.
We’ve got analyzed all NBA groups all through historical past to determine the oldest rosters ever. Among the many 25 oldest rosters, 5 did handle to win a championship.
For this train, we calculated the weighted common age of every squad. We thought of gamers’ ages as of February 1 (roughly mid-season) and factored of their taking part in time. (For instance, a 22-year-old participant averaging 35 minutes per recreation would have a better influence on the ultimate consequence than one taking part in solely 10 minutes).
