At age 30, 6'1" Pistons point guard Horace Jenkins is the oldest rookie in the NBA and one of the oldest in league history. Jenkins was 11 when he told his mom he would play in the NBA, but he took a circuitous route to the top.
2005 Is back on the active roster by February. "This is a big opportunity," says Jenkins, who had eight points in a win over L.A. last month. "I've got to try to go out there and do more, and I have no problem with that. I'm a person who refuses to fail."
