This was definitely a thing just back in the 2000s. You had guys like melo, tmac, Paul pierce, wade, Dwight ect all decline in this age range or way before. People always mentioned lebron still being so good when he was 33. At first that seemed like an anomaly. Now, you have guys like curry, kd, kawhi, dame, lebron still(lol) jimmy butler, all still being in their prime at 33+. Is it an advancement in technology and medicine? Something else?
This narrative is so so dumb. Why do we listen to the PR machine? People say this as if other players haven’t been doing this. There were stories about all the crazy things Kobe would do for his body, back in the 2000s.
