Might as well start the Legends. That starting lineup would boast 12 NBA rings and eight MVP trophies. But it also would stack up as 173 years old, an average age of 34.6 years. Pretty long in the tooth compared to some global rivals. Keep in mind the fabled 1992 Dream Team had only two guys aged 31 or older to this squad’s seven. James, Curry and Durant already are older than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were on their way out the door in ’92. And the Dream Team’s top five in minutes logged in those Barcelona Games averaged 28.6 years old. How will Team USA spell gold in Paris? “Gee, old.”
