There aren’t a lot of members remaining from the NBA’s previous generation, but the Los Angeles Lakers recently faced off with the two oldest active players, Vince Carter and Manu Ginobili. Both remain productive players despite their age and have shown it off all season.
One player who has been impressed is rookie point guard Lonzo Ball who undoubtedly grew up watching both in their prime. It was Ball’s first chance to square off against both and he admittedly came away impressed.
“I looked up to them and now I get to play them, it’s kind of like they have to pass the torch,” he said.
