Re: Anderson Varejao is our untouchable
Rodman was only in his 6th season when he was 30...he missed a grand total of ZERO games due to injury at that point.
Andy is 29 and has already played 8 seasons...he has missed over 100 games due to injury.
I'm not sure that's a very good comparison. Rodman was a young 30 compared to how Andy will be next year with all his wear and tear. Andy has already started showing signs of physical decline.
I'm going to throw out a name real quick who helped his team win championships with the same style of play as Andy. Dennis Rodman. Look at his stats at Post Age 30. They are great. Average 18 rebounds a game at age 30.
