Can veteran NBA players really make a contribution to young NBA teams?

vets can always make a contribution to younger teamss cause they bring experience to the game . "if" younger players are willing to listen and not be a hot-head and not let the money they get paid take them out of their character as a player, there can most definitely be some chemistry there. example: mj mentoring kwame brown didnt make an impact on his performance. kwame was a hot head, didnt want to listen and let that money go to his head. which in turn effected his on court and off court performance.

Players on the Spurs last year averaged 6.71 years of experience which is the most of the 30 NBA teams. They won the Championship. Players on the Pistons averaged 6.29 years of experience which is the second most of the 30 NBA teams. The Pistons made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Players on the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks both tied for least amount of years of experience at 2.73. Both teams were lottery teams. Atlanta's record last season was 30-52 and Milwaukee went 28-54.

I think that this shows that experienced NBA players can make a difference for their teams.
YES. A team with only young players will have no leader or experience %26amp; little direction. Young players need veteran influence in the locker room.
yes, they can . Remember being a Professional Basketball PLAYER REQUIRES MORE THAN JUST HOOP SKILLS, it requires A PLAYER TO BE A MULTITUDE OF THINGS. From community volunteer , to T.V. pitch man. what better person to teach a kid how to be a true PROFESSIONAL. THEN A VETERAN.

they can bring experience, just b/c players are young doesn't mean they know everything.
Yes! They can teach them to be professionals and teach them to win. They can play a important roll helping and teaching in practice. They can be a great deal of support to the young team. They can also serve as a coach on the floor. They have experience and nothing beats experience.
Hell yeah, they can show them how to ***** several women at one time. They can show them how to screw underage girls. Magic Johnson could show them how to acquire aids.
