We spoke very freshly Nick Nurse abusecoach à la Tom Thibodeau who plays his starters to exhaustion and brain death, Darvin Ham isn’t bad either. Leave a 38-year-old player on the floor as if he were 22, ask him to last 40 minutes and decide the fate of the meeting: we know some who have denounced nursing homes for less than that.
The 13th game time in the entire NBA at 38 years old? Very well.
We checked the age of the twelve players with more playing time than that of LeBron James. Are you ready ? Pascal Siakam (28), Luka Doncic (23), Fred VanVleet (28), Anthony Edwards (21), OG Anunoby (25), Jayson Tatum (24), Donovan Mitchell (26), Dejounte Murray (26), Kyrie Irving (30), DeMar DeRozan (33), Mikal Bridges (26) and Kevin Durant (34). The average age of this Top 12 of the longest playing times is only… 27 years old. It’s logical, it’s the full age to frolic without counting and make your body suffer. Our big man from the Lakers therefore has eleven years of “too many”. It’s almost a career. Darvin Ham makes it play average 36 minutes per meeting. This is (normally) an excess. Borrow the old Renault Nevada, load it with the wife, the three children, the Labrador and the suitcases, then climb up to Serre Chevalier: you’re unlikely to see the slopes this year. But the comparison sucks, because of the Lakers’ 38 games, LeBron still played 29. That’s a lot. Especially since his absence from Miami last night is due to a minor illness. Nothing to do with rusting joints or a stress fracture. Therefore, for Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Darvin Ham confided that he does not take a dim view of this “excess” of playing time. Perhaps even rightly, LeBron being one of the only viable solutions for the Lakers to hang the Top 10.
“I just want to highlight it. And he lets you do it because he cares so much regarding himself. It is therefore a great luxury to have. – Darvin Ham, for Dave McMenamin from ESPN
