Small Forward- LeBron James (35 Years)

LeBron James is an inch closer to another championship with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Even if he wins it this time, there is no guarantee he will stop after that.

Looking at LeBron's numbers, we can hardly say he is a 35-years-old. Check this out- LeBron is averaging 25.5 points, 10.6 assists, and 7.7 rebounds a game. He is shooting nearly 50% from the field and almost 35% from beyond the three-point line. These numbers can never define his age, and he surely is a once in a lifetime athlete.

James will be the Captain and Small Forward of this team.


Power Forward- Al Horford (33 Years)

Statistically speaking, Al Horford has not been that impressive this season. However, we have not taken the fact into account that he has been provided with limited opportunities at Philadelphia.

Al Horford might be getting a smaller role with his current team, but that does not change the fact that he is a fabulous asset to any squad.

The Ex-Boston star is averaging 11.6 points and 6.6 rebounds this season with the 76ers. A large force in the frontcourt who can knock down the three-pointers consistently, Al Horford will be this team's power forward.


Center- LaMarcus Aldridge (34 years)

LaMarcus Aldridge is another remarkable talent who shows the characteristic properties of slow-aging like LeBron James. Jokes apart, Aldridge is averaging 18.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks a game this season. He is a massive force in the paint for the San Antonia Spurs and has proven it night after night.

In his 14th season currently, Aldridge will be the main Center of this team.
