Just what is ‘Veteran Presence’?

What is the measurement? What is the criteria? Is there an advanced stat to be found on basketball reference?

Is there a clear effect it has on a team, on a player? Is there a minimum age? Is it actually something real?

The answer is . . . yes and no.

The term itself is one thrown around the NBA for decades and is lapped up as meaning exactly what it means. An argument can be made it is no more than a saying. Others will swear by its effect.
