Seriously, how did Melo age so badly?

Whatever knee injury he suffered that caused him to get that surgery a couple years back (2014 I think) was the beginning of the end. He was never quiet the same after that. Plus it's his 15th season and father time catches up with everyone. Don't mention Lebron because Lebron ain't human.

15 years is long for any player
look at the the 2003 draft

bron is the only one who is still an above average nba player at this point
hell bron, melo, wade, collison, pachulia, korver and david west are the only dudes still active from that draft class

father time remains undefeated unless your lebrn james

Korver & West are very good role players though. Wade is washed but he has no knees.

beside bron

wade role player
collison doesn't even play anymore
pachulia role player
korver role player
west role player

just noticed golden state has 3 of dudes from the 2003 draft

melo would be best in coming off the bench with the second unit playing 15-23 mpg

Bron out here investing $1.5 million in his body annually, while its clear Melo & wade didnt give a fukk. Bron has played the equivalent of 1-2 more seasons than those dudes due to all the deep playoff runs
