Answer 1

Yeah it seems like in sports now a days, the only good players are the young ones. And Kobe's not even that old, he's only 39. And look at Reggie Miller...he retired at like 38 and probably could have kept going a couple more years. To me, older players are usually better because they have more experience in playing and in the NBA and they're the ones that teach the young ones how to be succesful in the NBA.

Answer 2

Because they probably think that basketball is a young guy sport and older guys don't deserve to play.

Answer 3

im tired of people of hating on iverson!!!

Answer 4

i think that was a pretty lame article to tell the truth. its the pre-olympics exhibition play (these games really don't count for anything). why would you push the older guys to log long minutes with one game (Australia who they beat today) left?

i just think the writer is trying to cause some controversy. and because of the bronze medal finishes from the previous international foray, analyst, bloggers, fans alike are jumping the gun. what he should of wrote down is that d wade is leading the team in scoring from the bench and that chris paul is leading the whole team in minutes played. instead he's trying to make it seem like kidd is falling apart and that bosh should replace dwight howard in the starting lineup... really?! replace bosh with howard? really?

yeah that right there is reason enough to believe that this writer is just trying to stir up controversy.
