The same could be said about the Carter trade. Which, I may add ... has interrupted my foreseeable lifetime priority list. 1.) Play SC2 beta. ****2.***) Watch new Orlando Magic. 3.) Watch UF football. 4.) Dont flunk out trying | ||

They might play rejuvenated or more motivated, but I wouldn't say above his abilities. Randy Moss was 29 when he came to the patriots, and he wasn't running faster or jumping higher than when he was young. Shaq was still a highly dominant force. A better example might be Bill Walton or PJ Brown. | ||
