Blake Griffin, who is an analyst on Prime now, was drafted 6 years after LeBron, had his rookie year 7 year after LeBron, had an entire (probably) Hall of Fame career, and has already been retired for over two seasons.

Dudes playing against the kids of guys he played against

Honestly it feels like he’s lost more than 20% these days too which is bananas. Just rewatched some old highlights of his younger days and forgot just how much of athletic anomaly he is.

They have, pretty sure it was like 31 percent or something absurd like that

There was a thread here recently that claimed he played against 36% of all nba players or thereabouts..

That would be an interesting stat

You gotta give the guy some credit

Just like there will never be another Clyde :(

“Here is what we know about _________”

“Mummified” makes it sound like he could barely do the job anymore.

On the contrary, Hubie was sharp and on point as an analyst right up to retiring at age 91.

And we don’t have bionic knees that never get tears. 

We? Every one I know has been paid for the their ACL tears. You might want to find a new ACL guy…

I dunno man, sometimes an injury just makes it not worth it anymore. It sounds stupid but I jammed my finger playing pickup about a year ago, and I didn’t think much of it and kept playing, but it hurt pretty bad after the fact.

It took almost 6 months for me to get full range of motion back, and even to this day it doesn’t feel totally normal.

Hah, how old are you? I have two kids, man. Your life doesn’t shut down, you just have to pack way more shit into your day.

Pick up games are at 6am weekdays when kids are still sleeping. Home in time to help them get ready for school. Pick up games are 630am on Saturdays and you’re done and bringing home donuts before you have to go to the soccer/football field, rec center, dance studio, or far-away club sports complex that awaits.

Men’s league is Monday night with 8pm or 9pm start games, when kids are asleep.

Everyone I know who no longer plays hoops is because they got injured, they’re scared or getting injured or their bodies can’t take it. So they play golf or pickleball or swim or bike or maybe they play tennis if they’re in good shape.

Eh, most people just aren’t willing to do the mobility and joint work required to keep playing after injuries. It’s time consuming. Even with kids, it’s possible. Lots of people without kids give up any and all athletic activities before 30 because of their back, ankles, knees, etc. It’s a lifestyle issue 9 times out of 10.

casual .. ball is life

The posts will continue until LeBron stops aging. Your move.

He wasnt washed - he could definitely still contribute

Vitamins and prayers, brother.

Clearly haven’t been on social media based around Bron lol. People get so upset about him

and you’re still playing at a top 50 level

If I’m putting together a team to win a championship this season, I don’t know if there are more than 20 players in the whole league I’d choose over Lebron

LeBron is old as dirt, and it’s a miracle that he’s still a great player.

The fact that Jefferson is an analyst is just one of the worst ways to emphasize how old LeBron is.

You can simply choose to not let this stuff bother you yknow

He has a history of giving himself credit in many interviews. As if he still needs to let everyone know how great he is. Everyone knows how amazing he is and can be considered the goat. There is nothing humble about him.
