Well alrighty then. I swear to God this is the most excruciating part of the offseason. I’m not even talking about this video, just in general. The media is out there grasping at straws trying to find ANYTHING they think people will click on. Really nothing to do with this thread, I just had to get it out there. Next month can’t get here fast enough.

A motor generally runs its best twice in its lifetime. Brand new and just before it gives out.

I recall Drew having one or two never felt better comments in the last few years lol.

I wonder how much of this was accelerated by his injuries. Since his shoulder injury recovery he avoided serious injury for a long time. He had foot issues (not making light of it) a bit as I recall, but nothing torso or arm related. Then he gets a fluke hand injury followed by a lung/rib serious hit. Just saying if he could have avoided those, who knows?

Did aging cause him to be injured more often…, or were his injuries truly just random “flukes” of nature? It’s my belief if it wasn’t his hand or lungs, it would have been his hips or ankles, etc…. Father Time has never been beat.

It’s the larger reason why my bias is in favor of younger players.

I think age had a lot to do with it along with modifying his play based on some limitations that come with aging.

As rezburna pointed out, Jordan was coming off an off-season surgery on his core, an adductor muscle that tore off the bone in December 2019. Most people have completely overlooked that.

And he still suited up and played. Too bad Davenport can't seem to play through pain .

Cam Jordan is a dawg.
