I just realized: With Tom Brady (ugh) out of professional football, so is Gen-X. Next oldest is Jason Peters, born 1982. https://www.oldest.org/sports/active-nfl-players/
@bikepedantic And just a few borderline cases in the other major team sports (Udonis Haslem in the NBA was born in 1980, as were Rich Hill and Nelson Cruz in the MLB).
@LhasaCM good for him, and good move by [googles] the Heat
@bikepedantic It seems like his role is similar to Mike Dunleavy's on the Bucks in the mid 1980s - basically an assistant coach, but is on the roster to play in a pinch. He's played like 46 minutes across 6 games so far this year.
