people say lebron wont last long because of how he plays. We must remember he's only 26, and MJ and kobe didnt adjust till they were 28, 29. This brings up a question, When will D Wade have to adjust? He's almost 29 and he relies on speed and quickness which will soon fade. Do you guys think he can keep playing the way he does and for how much longer before he must adjust?

Well, it depends more on wear and tear than actual age. Kobe was in the league at what? Like 19 or something? Wade and LeBron got drafted in the same year, but Wade is three years older than LeBron. Then again, every player will be different because of playing style. I think LeBron is an anomaly in terms of his physical stature. He should hold up for a while. I guess I didn't answer your question, but it'll be different for every player. LeBron has more time than Wade before adjusting, but I think that's more about his body than his age. I think LeBron will be playing the same way at 29 or 30. I still think it needs to be based on NBA mileage and not age.

Barring injuries Dwyane Wade will still be one of best athletes in the Nba when he's pushing 35.

I think Lebron doesn't have to worry about that for a while. Wade on the other hand...

I agree 100%. Wade is always hurt. He won't last long at this rate (be able to play at a high level). Lebron is built like a linebacker...he will be fine

You change your style when what you're using ceases to become effective & efficient.
