Being a veteran in the NBA, Richard Jefferson has not slowed down! Just recently he made this dunk, that would make you think his career just started:

In his 16th season in the NBA, he has played on seven different teams and experienced so much as a professional. From being part of multiple Eastern Conference Championship teams, to playing for the USA in the 2004 Summer Olympics (and being part of the Cavs 2015-16 championship run), it’s safe to say RJ has accomplished quite a lot.

Currently, he is averaging almost 20 minutes a game. Oh, and by the way, this guy is 36 years old!

Jefferson had a great career at Arizona as well, averaging almost 12 points, five rebounds and three assists per game. He was even part of the Wildcat team that made it all the way to the 2001 National Championship game.
