While many struggle to stay in the NBA for even one season, some can play in the league for a very long time.

LeBron James is the oldest player in the NBA at 39 years old as he prepares to enter his 22nd season. He has played in the league since the 2003-04 season when the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted him with the first overall pick.

“King James” has since become one of the greatest NBA players of all time and is an annual staple NBA odds betting markets.

Below is a list of the oldest NBA players, with their ages as of July 24, 2024.
