Why do so many superstars not decline at that 33-35 age range anymore? (alien.top)

This was definitely a thing just back in the 2000s. You had guys like melo, tmac, Paul pierce, wade, Dwight ect all decline in this age range or way before. People always mentioned lebron still being so good when he was 33. At first that seemed like an anomaly. Now, you have guys like curry, kd, kawhi, dame, lebron still(lol) jimmy butler, all still being in their prime at 33+. Is it an advancement in technology and medicine? Something else?

The real answer is money! Seeing Giannis get $180 mil for 3 years. I’d be motivated to get the best nutrition, load management, shoes, trainers, etc. and play till I’m 40.
