Taj Gibson has played in the NBA since the 2009-10 season when he was a consistent backup big man for the Chicago Bulls. Throughout his career, he's mostly recognized for his time with the Bulls as the backup for Carlos Boozer.

Now, he's an ageless veteran who can provide energy from inside the paint and can knock down the occasional mid-range jump shot.


#3, Chris Paul, 38 years old

Staying true to how he plays, Chris Paul has consistently made valuable contributions to his teams. Now at 38 years of age, he's one of the oldest NBA players. But his age shouldn't fool anyone as he's been a great player his entire career.

Despite his obvious disadvantages, Tucker has made a career out of them and solidified his name as one of the NBA's best role players.

Tucker may be one of the oldest players, but he can bring a lot to the table.
