That’swhen some of the big players start to go down the fall of greatness.

For example, Isiah Thomas, the two-time NBA Champion,got there when he was 28 years old. Not so old, but old enough to be good in the league. As well as his ā€˜Bad Boys’ Detroit Pistons, who were led by him. However, after that he couldn’t clinched any more championships.
