Jason Terry — Milwaukee Bucks
Age: 40 (18 seasons)
Jason Terry doesn’t act his age — in a good way — as he spreads his wings after a 3-pointer into his signature “Jet” pose. His game, however, reveals an older man.

Terry is averaging 1 points and 0.8 rebounds with the Milwaukee Bucks this season, playing 10 minutes a game. It could simply be early season rust for Terry, but considering his minutes and points have dwindled since 2013, it might just be Father Time grounding the Jet.
He has sat out two of the Bucks four games so far, another sign that his body can’t do what it used to. It would be one thing if he had a made basket, but through 21 minutes of play he is 0 of 4 shooting. Another bad sign in his shooting hasn’t breached higher 43% since before his title run with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011.
If he can at least get his 3-pointer back in order — one thing that didn’t leave him in recent seasons — then he can get back in the rotations for the Bucks. But even then, it is clear he earned his spot on the Murtaugh list.
