I think the oldest active NBA player is Dikembe Mutombo (39) followed by Cliff Robinson (38). I think the youngest active NBA player is Andrew Bynum (18) of the Los Angeles Lakers...

It's Yao Ming. He's 7 feet and 6 inches tall, being the tallest player in the NBA.

Julio Franco - although he is not the oldest to ever play, he is the oldest currently.  The source listed below shows the oldest to ever play.  \n\nAt the age of 47, Franco also became the oldest player to ever homer, eclipsing the old record of Jack Quinn, who was 46 years, 357 days old when he homered on June 27, 1930.

Allen Ezail Iverson was born on June 7, 1975 in Hampton, Virginia. \n\nSo he is 30 years old!

George Blanda was the oldest player in NFL history. He played until he was 48 years old. He retired in 1975 from the Oakland Raiders.\n\nhttp://www.profootballhof.com/history/stats/40_and_over_club.jsp

For me its Kobe Bryant. He is the leading scorer in the NBA right now and he scored 81 points this season! The 2nd Most points in the history of the NBA before Wilt Chamberlain's 100.

Because of the wear and tear of NBA basketball, and the beating his body took for more than 10 years now, I am giving him 2 to 3 years of playing basketball.\n\nTake note that his playing style has shown a very steep decline.  He is not the same Shaq as he was in his early years in LA.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.  He's also has the most amount of points in the NBA ever.  The guy is a king.

Wilt Chamberlin is definatley one of the best along with Kareem, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and maybe Isaih Thomas.  Also many people are forgetting about Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, and Pistol Pete.  30 years from now names like Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade will be around.  Shaq is one of the best if not best centers to play the game also.

Kobe already is, he probably has been ever since the 3 peat.  Lets not forget that he has 3 championships.  Nobody is a better scorer than he is, and there hasn't been anyone that can take over a game like he can since Jordan did it.  I mean who else can score 62 points in 33 minutes, (by the way that was against Dallas) who else can score 81 points in 42 minutes off only 45 shots taken.  He is the fastest player to hit 10,000 points despite playing with Shaq for 8 years.  He has also managed to average 5 rebounds and 5 assist through his career so far.  He is only 27 years old, he is just getting started, the best is yet to be seen.

He is still on the Knicks roster, but is inactive.  He's currently in Texas, working out with former NBA coach John Lucas, trying to get back into playing shape.  Since last year, he's been severely limited by various injuries.  His contract expires at the end of the year, and he will likely be used as a trading chip at the deadline.
