We just gotta apppreciate what's in front of us on a nightly basis. Freak level athleticism like Ja's don't have long shelf lives anyway. When you think about all the freak athletes to come into the league they all got grounded to some degree after about 5-6 years anyway. Only dude you could say was a still a freak level athlete 10 years in would have been Lebron.....maybe MJ. Other than that everybody lost something. Dudes like Drose/Blake/Amare were freak athletes of the highest order but of course they all got hurt. But even dudes like Kobe/Vince/Dwade who flew around the league their first 5-6years lost some juice without major injuries.
So we gotta just enjoy watching Ja fly in real time instead of taking that pessimistic view of him getting hurt. Cause even if he doesn't get hurt...aint no he'll have this much bounce at 27-28.
