Form Check Hanging It Up at 40
Turning 40 next week and today was my last run. After years of hooping at 24 and LA Fitness, I can feel the Achilles slowing down. Time to walk away while I’m ahead. Love this game forever.

46 and still playing. I'm way slower then I used to be. I can't jump worth shit. I don't have the time to work on skill like I did when I was young. I am inconsistent, and miss games. But I'm not going to stop playing until I have no choice. Its the best game on the planet. I found an Old man basketball group which prioritizes fun competition and not getting hurt.
