This study analyzes the evolution of game-related statistics for elite basketball players throughout their careers, focusing on assists, free throw percentages, points, rebounds, and shooting percentages. It finds that experienced players tend to improve in assists and free throw percentages, enhancing team performance, while other metrics show high variability. The study suggests that coaches should leverage experienced players in critical situations, although it acknowledges limitations such as declining physical abilities and uncontrolled factors.
