James Edwards played 19 seasons in the NBA, most have never heard of him, yet he’s currently tied for the 8th longest tenured NBA player of all-time. Mr. Edwards scored almost 15,000 points throughout his career and played in 111 playoff games—he is certainly qualified to speak on experience. Stephen Curry (as of this writing) has played 10 NBA season, 112 playoff games and has scored roughly 16,000 points.

“Experience” is so often linked to age or time spent mastering a craft, but often ignored when referencing experience is what one has gone through to gain their experience and how they navigated various environments throughout their career. Would a fan of the NBA argue that James Edwards has more NBA experience than Stephen Curry? Maybe, but should they?
