Oldest Active Pro Players (Over 40)

Hi Everyone,

I am currently writing and article on the growing dominance of Pro Athletes in there 40's and even 50's (There is more than what you think in there 50's) and thought there is heaps of people on here with a'lot more knowledge than myself in Basketball.

Who are the current oldest Active Basketball players playing in any professional competition in the world?

It doesn't have to be top level Pro, but atleast semi pro.

Not locally/domestic level as masters goes to over 80 in basketball and I play against a couple of guys in there 60's in A grade that can still really play, man they can shoot the piss out of it.

So it has to be pro and they have to be atleast be over 40. I already have quite a few from Europe and some lower leagues in America and Australia, But I would like to pick the brains of some true basketball fans and get the best one's.

This is just an example, Darryl Middleton was still dominating in Europe until last year at nearly 50 and just took the coaching Job this year.

Thanks for your help guys, please be respectful to all the comments. I really appreciate it.

Im not sure how old he is now.. But Kevin Marsh use to play for the Hawks (82, 83 and 84) and still rips it up in local comps. If Gordie is 58-59 Kevin must be around mid 50s.

Can't leave him open from the outside.. And everytime he shoots he'll whisper "money". And more times than not - it is!
