You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.

Hopefully I won't be 35 still playing a 16-year-old.

I'm 26 years old. I don't need to be playing 16 anymore.

In past generations, people would try to play younger than they really are. My trick is, I don't try to play younger than I really am.

If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

If you ask any of my close friends, they know I always complain that I never get to play my age.

That's the thing: You'll lose your legs, your athleticism, but if you can shoot - definitely from 3 - you can play into your high thirties.

I won't play past 30. Why? I want to - I don't know - start a family, live life.

So I always figured I'd still be playing at this age.

I am constantly playing younger. I have a baby face. I'm only five-foot-one, so I am used to playing younger. I love it.
