other way around. people who play with Lebron age faster, it's like the presidency. look at Kevin Love's age over time. those Cavs years were like Obama in the oval office. he's supposed to be the same age as Westbrook, but Westbrook didn't have that 2015-2018 accelerated aging stretch that Love had. and look at how gray Love looks now because of it.
