If AD gives us 50 games next season I'll be ecstatic.
AD has played 50 games most years - nearly all of them. But that body is going to be harder to manage now. There's no telling about him.
While most big men have a lot of trouble staying healthy, two of the best big men ever - Wilt and Kareem - played 70-80 nearly every single season, Both of them I think had multiple seasons with at least 80 games.
I don't know how Wilt did it. He played Volleyball several years after basketball. I think he had only one season where he had a serious injury (when he was 33) then he played 3 straight 82 game seasons after that. That guy was freak of nature.
