    Default True of False: Duncan with his ageless game can play in the Euroleague until 50.

    He can play till 40 in the NBA at a high level, 50 for Euro.

    Age 40-50 he would bare minimum, duplicate his career averages he put up in the NBA from age 20-40 but I'm not sure if he's interested a player at his caliber has way too much pride to play in a league like that, what's the point when you are revered as the best PF of all time by many? Playing in the Euroleague would do nothing but damage his reputation, even if he put up dominant stats given that even NBA scrubs and roleplayers have gone over there and also put up dominant stats.

    How many games are played? As you age it's not about your game, but how your body holds up. Recovery from games gets slower and injuries become more frequent.

    If Euroleague is only ~20 games/year I imagine a lot of NBA players could keep going well in to their 40's.

    This. Even Tim Duncan would suck if he had to play 5 games in 7 days against in the Euroleague. If he could play a game every 3 days he'd be an absolute beast there from 40 to 50.

    You mean that NBA players don't know how to take advantage of a player's weakness?

    He can, but he wont. He can easily make more money doing something else in the USA.

    i mean that Euroleague players, while maybe being less talented and athletic are way smarter than NBA players. they are way better at exploiting/using mismatches. thats a fact
