Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 1848579, member: 767"] It might be something like if Kobe was on the team this year. Hard to say, Bird was still effective in 92 when he could get on the court, but that didn't happen much. The crazy thing is how far we have come when it relates to limiting guys minutes. Bird was 35 int he 91-92 season and had all the back issues. He only appeared in 45 games, but averaged 37 minutes per game! Or how about Jordan, during their second threepeat, he was 32, 33, and 34 years old. He didn't miss a game in any of those seasons and played over 38 minutes per game! Hell, in 2003, when he was 40, he didn't miss a game and played 37 minutes a night. [/QUOTE]
