Are you tall, at least 80 years old and like to stay active? Well, Bruce Rubin, 80 from Montgomery County is in search of another player who wants to join his senior basketball team.

A Montgomery County basketball team is looking to recruit some new players and there are two requirements: you must be tall, and you have to be at least 80 years old to suit up!"I enjoy the game, it’s good exercise, and it gets me out of the house," said Bruce Rubin, 80, of Lansdale.Rubin is on a recruiting mission. The shooting guard grandfather runs the BUX MONT Warriors Senior 3-on-3 basketball team.

So seeing him run up and down the court is seriously impressive," said Ryan Jones, who plays weekly with Rubin."I’ve been doing this 8 years, and he’s been out here the whole time and is amazing each and every time I don’t know how he finds the energy" added Adam Douglas of Lansdale.Rubin says if it wasn’t for basketball and his other love of running, he definitely would not even be here. When his wife, Gail, died in 2017, Rubin kept playing hoops and running.
