Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Jamal Crawford hinted during a Twitter Q&A Monday that he will play five more seasons:
"@iam_almighty_: Wanna meet @JCrossover before he retires"–you got 5 years
— Jamal Crawford (@JCrossover) September 20, 2016
Crawford is 36 — quite old for a professional athlete — but you wouldn’t know it by watching him play. Crawford’s seemingly eternal youth was alluded to in another question during his Q&A:
"@DillonGuthrie: @JCrossover Where is the fountain of youth? Cause u haven't aged since u were like 19."–age? What's that? Just got wiser.

Crawford does play like a much younger man, but five more years still seems like a rather lofty goal. If he’s still contending for Sixth Man of the Year awards at the age of 41, we may have to take that question about the fountain of youth seriously.
