You're Never Too Old To Score: 73-Year-Old Ken Mink Gets Roanoke State Some Points

You're Never Too Old To Score: 73-Year-Old Ken Mink Gets Roanoke State Some Points

Remember Ken Mink? He’s that 73-year-old who’s playing on the Roane State Community College basketball team this season. Turns out he’s not that bad!

In Roane State’s winning game Monday against King’s College, Mink actually scored two points. Yahoo News has the play-by-play:

Mink entered the game with about 16 minutes left in the second half and attempted one shot in about three minutes. Seven minutes later, he went back in the game, was fouled and made two free throws.

"I found myself on the free-throw line 52 years after my last college game," Mink said. "I said, 'Just relax and shoot it like you know how to all day long.' I just floated the shots in there. I'm in the books now. I can relax a little bit."

With skills like those, you could hardly tell it’s been 52 years since he played college basketball… it totally seems more like 42 years. Seriously, though, Kenny’s a baller.
