Real physical play? Define real. Running, jumping, starting, stopping 9 months out of the year is all you need to happen to age.ROFL @ all the players who came in w/ Kobe now either:
a) role players
b) bums
c) out of the league
Shit, Tim Duncan declined like crazy as soon as he hit 30... he's picked it up a little bit though.... . .
this has something to do w/ the PED's, current day supplements and training regiments nowadays and the lack of real physical play in todays game.... ..
Just Wait until Lebron and Durant get to 33, 34... they'll probably be defying age too, somewhat...
Props to Kobe though... I mean so many niggas is straight bums now 3, 4 years after he was Drafted.. . .
Wasn't he though.Lebron is going to be an interesting case.
Once the lift and speed isn't at a level where he can athletically overwhelm, is he going to start playing like older Charles Barkley?

That shit would probably work, tho'. Barkley used to slowly push his defender under the basket, and it wasn't shit they could do to stop it. That dude was strong as a motherfucker.
Flu game
I'm beginning to think that this game was a bit of a mind trick.
The media reported he was sick, that's when he performed best, so it was spoken into existence, and he delivered.
I remember him saying recently that looking back on it, if he were given the chance to do it again, he would never. He said he felt like he was near death.
