Will we ever see a 30 year vet in professional sports?

With modern medicine and training I think it’s possible in the next 10-20 years

Lebron could play 8 more years if he goes the Udonis Haslem route

Nolan Ryan came damn close.

Jaromir Jagr is playing in his 37th season this year.

Stetson Bennett already made it 20 years

How long did Foreman box for? Feels like 30 years

His last season...as it appears.

It's already happened. There's been numerous soccer players and boxers with 30-year careers.

Possible in soccer where some of these guys play professional at 15. Maybe tennis?

Plenty of pro wrestlers.

Maybe tennis?
Knees and hips can’t make it. And you have no team to rely on to take some of your minutes. It’s just impossible. It would take another 9 years for Djok, the biggest freak ever to get there. Just no way

Julio Franco played more than 30 seasons of professional baseball, counting his time in the Majors, Minors, Mexican League, Japanese League, and Korean League.

To be clear, he wasn't stat padding playing in those lesser leagues too. 68.5% of his professional baseball games were in the big leagues.

LeBron could if he wanted to

Not true because Venus just finished her 30th year as a professional. Of course, she's a corpse who keeps getting undeserved wild cards but she's shown that it's very possible to last that long in tennis. Serena also could have played until 2025 and had a 30-year career if she really wanted to.

We are talking about sports. Not women
And Venus is actually good proof how it can’t be done. Even with undeserved wild cards and being in the less physical woman’s game she is 951 in the world….951 in the world for women is the equivalent of playing semi pro football in BR
Anyone can continue playing their sport and be horrific at it
Not shot she could be around now 3 years later and actually make it on tour
