Don't need stamina.. Pick your spots.. Wisdom and experience is how you maintain. Don't need to be running all over the court the whole game like these younger players do and STILL aint doing much to change the gsme itself or impact the game.

Footwork is clean … form is good. He was very hard to guard for a while in the NBA before his injury. Look like it’s all still there … except for the athleticism probably but he’s a marksman!!
My pops use to coach high school and 1 of his former players showed up and he played pro in Greece and was the Greek league mvp and he was head and shoulders better then everybody pulling up from half court on 4 straight possession made it every time and he didn’t even sprint not 1 time just walked everybody down and shot over them
A 40-year-old who keeps in shape only shows a significant decline in lateral speed relative to their prime. Forward speed doesn't drop off nearly as quickly. Peak strength for men is reached around the Mid-40s.
@@Cutthroat__ Nah, that's some bullshit. Basketball is not a simple game at all. There's a reason why coaches draw plays. Why scouting reports analyze player habits and defensive schemes. Why the smartest players watch hours and hours of game footage to get an advantage. I could go on and on about the complexities of the game itself. Now if you wanna talk king of the court with some washed up players, then yeah, maybe it is simple. Otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about. Lol.
It was obvious Gil doesn't want to drive to the hoop anymore at his age, so why give him the jumper? He is still the Hibachi and he post game was solid but the defense was popcorn.
@@jamesball8519 Make him drive still. He ain't Ben Simmons, his jumper the last thing to go. Why give him that all night? He could be Steph Curry for all I care but you can't be a fan boy, if he cooking you and he old, make him drive. Greats either already had a shot or developed one as they got older. Especially if you're younger and bigger, it only makes sense.
What you're seeing is someone whose game is levels above the people he's playing. If Brian Scalabrine can cook, you don't think Gilbert Arenas can show out?
If you play too close he can still drive by and make easy layups There's no winning against this level of player Just goes to show you how big the gap of a former nba player to average joe They could still kill you on the court in their 40s or 50s after retiring for a decade
I'm just going to assume you're talking about 40 year-old Gilbert getting beat in the speed department. Because GA before his knees started going was as fast or faster than anyone in the game. He was explosive, the way Westbrook is explosive.
Gilbert has developed that middle aged “Pops” game. Pump fakes and midrange dominance.
I swear lol.
That was in his bag before the knee problems tho
That’s not a “Pops” game. Half the basketball players that go to the nba already have that in their bag
