Incredible news from the Washington EHPAD, Taj Gibson is back! At 38 years old and following 15 seasons in the League, he will teach the basics of MMA to the young insiders of the Wizards.
Chris Paul, PJ Tucker, LeBron James and Andre Iguodala, when the latter re-signs with the Warriors.
So here are the only four players… older than Taj Gibson in the NBA.
It’s starting to squeak all over the place, it’s been that way for a while, but the old Taj Gibson is still there. Still alive, still standing, and not the last to flick (mandals) the first one who crosses him a little too closely. Revealed late (24 years old) with Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and other young Butlers in Chicago in the early 2010s, Tajine then became what we can call a Thibodeau soldier, following his lifelong coach in the Minnesota or New York. What do all these seasons have in common? The solidity of the guy, more and more tired but still hard as titanium.
Free agent F Taj Gibson is returning to the Washington Wizards on a one-year, $3.2M contract, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. At 38, this will be Gibson’s 15th NBA season.

With barely 4 points on average last season, Taj Gibson was already no longer one of the leaders of the roster, but in terms of passing the baton Wes Unseld Jr. will be able to count on an NBA institution once more this year, very useful in forging the character of a very young group. Furthermore, the lack of depth in the Wizards’ interior rotation might well push Taj to take a little more time than expected. Slowly, we shouldn’t break it for good.
