NBA ranking: The oldest teams in NBA history

When teams load up on veterans, it’s typically because they are all in to win a title. These teams essentially put all their cards on the table looking to cross the finish line with everything they’ve got.

We have analyzed all NBA teams throughout history to identify the oldest rosters ever. Among the 25 oldest rosters, five did manage to win a championship.

For this exercise, we calculated the weighted average age of each squad. We considered players’ ages as of February 1 (approximately mid-season) and factored in their playing time. (For example, a 22-year-old player averaging 35 minutes per game would have a greater impact on the final result than one playing only 10 minutes).
