Kobe Bryant is still a Los Angeles Laker - and NBA fans are anxiously waiting to see what he has left and speculating on whether this will be his farewell season.

It's probably not wise to count out Bryant just yet - or any of the six other former All-Stars who are at least 37 years old and are expected to contribute on the court this year as the NBA tipped off the 2015-16 season this week.

Bryant, the 13th pick in the 1996 draft, is back after missing much of last season with a shoulder injury. He joins Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Manu Ginobili, Paul Pierce and Vince Carter - all drafted between 1995 and 1999.
