Tony Parker may be the early favorite to win Rookie of the Year. Malik Rose may even have a legitimate chance to win Sixth Man honors.

But Terry Porter?

"Put me in the running," Porter said, "for Overaged Man of the Year."

At 38 years and seven months, Porter has entered select ? albeit graying ? company. While 19-year-old Parker received all the attention on opening night for being the youngest player in franchise history, Porter quietly became the third-oldest Spur to put on a uniform. Among current players in the NBA, only John Stockton, Patrick Ewing, Kevin Willis, Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan are older.
