I feel like AD's injury-adjusted age is like 78.

Responding to the comparison of the Lakers to the Warriors. Those teams are not comparable in terms of age. The Warriors’ big 3 all are all 33+. The Lakers have LeBron at 38 obviously. After that, however, the oldest player in the rotation is AD, who just turned 30.

As I tell my kids, you are entitled to your feelings. 

In this instance, however, your feelings do not match the reality of how well AD is still playing. He set a new career high in rebounds/game and led the league. He’s been injured plenty, but his legs are not tired.

No question AD is a top tier talent when healthy, my joke was he gets injured about as much as you would expect from a much older player. Unfortunately it would be a surprise if he made it all the way through the playoffs, last time he did the Lakers won the championship.
