Ivan Leshinsky, a 78-year-old former basketball star, is preparing for the National Senior Games this July and is actively seeking teammates to complete his team. Despite his enthusiasm, finding players over 75 who still compete is proving difficult. With a need for a skilled playmaking guard and a robust rebounder, Leshinsky has reached out to former teammates but met with little success. As the player-coach for his Baltimore team, he's determined to adapt and compete in the upcoming games, where he has enjoyed success in past tournaments across the country.
I'm the player-coach for the Baltimore team, and I'd really like to add one or two more players who can pass and cut, pick-and-roll, set a screen, and still move their legs quickly enough to guard someone.
Finding someone over 75 years old still playing competitive basketball is not easy. I've even appealed to some of my former LIU teammates, but they all said their playing days are over.
