Late twenty probably but certainly by 30. Not only did I not have the same physical abilities by that point, but around 30 started becoming more susceptible to injuries - from which it takes longer to come back. Around 40 the injuries and recovery got even worse. At 45, I don't push myself 100% any more because of the injuries risk. I probably hit 75-80%

What's there to look forward to after 30?

I still have my straight line 4.3 speed. My deficiency comes in start and go and cutting.

Well I can tell you now that after age 50 I don't even jump off the tailgate of my truck to ground anymore as I may blow something out. Aging can be brutal.

It's funny that I never thought my body would slow down. Like I was the exception. But it sure has.

I played full court three times a week till my mid thirtys (48 now) had an operation on my left leg at 36.... That was it. I really miss it but once you hit thirty you will start to see your skills to start deteriorating

When was the last time you took it to the Ritz. I heard you advanced up in the ranks in recent years. Hope you'll be a HC one day.

Daily bible threads are still my all time favorite troll.

Mid 30s I was playing and began to miss boards and passes that I would have gotten when I was younger.
Tweaked my knee and realized that I was putting my health on the line for a hobby.
Basketball over.

Haha I don't think I did, I just didn't see it as my time to shine like some guys did. I was a pretty decent athlete is high school so I was just playing for fun. Some of the guys took it very serious.

Can you still dunk ?

I'm 54 and still dominate basketball, football, golf, baseball, weightlifting and others I can't remember, cause my memory isn't what it used to be.

Throwing shoulder is giving me issues in adult softball
Badly sprained my ankle nearly 2 months ago and it's still bothering me
I'm 25.. A year ago I was fine. Hopefully this isn't a norm and passes
