You might have a point if there were a lot of guys playing elite basketball into year 18/19/20 - but there’s only one who has legitimately been playing at an MVP level *this* late.

So the whole “oh well it’s clearly modern science/nutrition” is kind of moot. Nobody has done what LeBron is doing right now in *any* era. Also: life expectancies are actually decreasing en masse and excess mortality is spiking - so it’s not as if you can even say that the human being is considerably healthier in 2022 than they were in 1992.

Finally - y’all acting like Jordan played in the 50’s or something lol. Those Tim Grover exercise science regimens were to this day state of the art. It ain’t like players today have titanium bones or something.
