But I know why he wants to be, of course. He wants to go out a champion. There's always a token member of that team so I wouldnt count it out.

Also...kinda rad to go out as a 3x gold medal winner at his age.

But agreed, he'd be taking a spot from a better player for sure. Dude is just (seemingly) not willing to listen to what his body is telling him.

....also, anyone who's accomplished what he does deserves to suck all they can out of the NBA and their team. He's worth 5x what his contract is, even right today...in terms of $$$$.
