It seems that modern-day NBA players are playing longer than they ever have before. From LeBron James and Chris Paul both still playing in their 40s, to the 37-year-old Steph Curry recently stating that he's "nowhere close" to retiring, professional careers are steadily expanding well into the double-decade range. OKC Thunder centerpiece Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't keen on mimicking this trend.
At least, that's what he hinted at during a recent sit-down with GQ Magazine's Yang-Yi Goh, where he said that, while he believes he physically could, he "a hundred percent" won't still be playing into his 40s.
