Jameer Nelson's son punched a ticket to men's March Madness with Delaware and everyone felt so old

I cannot believe I'm this old. Do...do I have an AARP discount?

Getting older through the lens of sports is an absolutely triggering experience. It’s the worst — 10 times out of 10 I would not recommend it.

Here’s how it works. One minute you’re watching one of your favorite players play in the NBA Finals against the Lakers. The next minute you find out that player’s son and namesake just made the NCAA tournament and you’re just confused.

Maybe this is just one of those “hey, want to feel old?” posts. But I feel like this is more just me telling y’all that I am now officially as old as dirt.

That’s what I realized when I saw that Jameer Nelson was having a nice moment with his son, Jameer Nelson Jr., after his Delaware team punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament.

There were so many emotions involved. Their family cried together on the court. It was beautiful.

All I could think of in this moment was “WOW I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM THIS OLD.” Really.

Jameer Nelson just stopped playing NBA basketball back in 2017. I swear. He was just on the court still doing his thing. And I also swear he was just playing in the Finals against the Lakers with Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic. I can snap my fingers and go right back to that place.

Yet, here he is with a son? Who just made the NCAA tournament? Shoutout to them both, man, but time needs to really chill out for a second. Even Jameer, himself, thinks this is unbelievable.

It wasn’t just me who felt this way. It was the entire internet.
