Beijing time on August 12, 2018! Today, NBA reporter Brandon Robinson tweeted in response to criticism of the Lakers' "too old" lineup. In the picture, the reporter posted a comparison of the age of the players in the Lakers lineup and the 1998 Bulls championship lineup. "'The Lakers are very old.'" So what is Michael Jordan's bull? Robinson wrote.
On the Lakers side, Anthony Davis is 28 years old, Dwight Howard is 35 years old, LeBron James is 36 years old, Russell Westbrook is 32 years old, Carmelo Anthony is 37 years old; On the Bulls side, Dennis Rodman is 37 years old, Scotty Pippen is 33 years old, Michael Jordan is 35 years old, and Ron Harper is 34 years old.
In this offseason, due to the loss of last season, the Lakers decided to form a new championship lineup, the team traded the original role players, and then first introduced the three-double Wang Weishao, and then the role players due to the pressure of salary, the Lakers can only be forced to sign some veterans, so there are also doubts about age in the outside world. In fact, in my opinion, age is not an absolute factor, but injuries may be some factors in the team, after all, last season, the Lakers also fell on the problem of injuries.
If nothing else, the big three are basically the team starters, which in addition to James's slightly older age, Westbrook and Davis are the year of playing, James although not as good as the previous seasons, but still maintain a good performance, last season once led the MVP list, so no matter what, as fans we stay tuned for it.
