Message: [QUOTE="JstVisiting, post: 5347119, member: 9363"] 27 is the often quoted peak for men's athletes where the accumulated experience and lack of physical decline are in best synergy. Maybe it is 28 now due to advances in nutrition and training slowing physical decline, but IDK that anything can be done for reaction times. Elite W peaks last longer than in the men's game. Age at start of last MVP season [B](or 2025 season)[/B]: 34, Cynthia Cooper 33, Lisa Leslie [B]33, Alyssa Thomas[/B] 33, Sherryl Swoopes 32, Jonquel jones 31, Tamika Catchings 31, Sylvia Fowles [B]30, Breanna Stewart[/B] 29, Della Donna [B]29, Napheesa Collier 28, A'ja Wilson[/B] 28, Lauren Jackson 26, Candace Parker [B]23, Paige Bueckers[/B] (TIL Bueckers is older than Boston and CC) [B]23, Aliyah Boston 23, Caitlyn Clark [/B] So A'ja has about six more years where she could reasonably expect to win the award. The next three years are probably her best chance to add more awards though, as her late peak will compete with the prime of the three youngsters.
