That's 71 years of former star playing like young studs again. Well, Rondo is NBA old at 31; Carter is NBA prehistoric at 40.

Carter, in fact, turned the clock all the way back on the Cavs and LeBron James:

40-year old Vince Carter outscored LeBron James 24-16 tonight in @SacramentoKings victory over Cavs (109-95).



It's the first time Vince outscored LBJ since Dec 14, 2007 (32-29 as member of Nets). pic.twitter.com/kILMMaf9u5 — Gianina (@giaplusnina) December 28, 2017

Rondo, meanwhile, bumped his season assist average to 8.3, his highest figure since he led the NBA with 11.7 assists per game two seasons ago for the . . . Kings. He's a veteran leader on a New Orleans squad that's in the West playoff race at 18-16.
