But then JO looks at Ratliff and basically laughs when he blows by for that dunk. JO might be a bit older and slower, but he's not going to be stopped by bench players.
JO is not old he just turned 30 two weeks ago, back in the day 30 was being in your prime. The only reason people say he is old is because he has been in the league for so long so it seems like he is 40. Injuries slowed him the past few years, not a deminishing game, if he stays healthy this year there is no reason why he cant become the all star he was a few yeras ago before the knee problem. To me he hasnt lost anything. He is just getting his timing, game legs and getting used to playin for a new team, a new system and a all star in Bosh.
