Larry Bird, also age 59, has said pretty much the same thing in the last couple of days: "I don't work out like I used to. I can't. I can't go out and run. I jog and have a little sauna, that's about it. My body won't let me do more than that."

I'm 62, and I can identify. I played a lot of baseball and a lot of basketball--basketball for a long time--and the toll it takes on your joints stays with you long after you quit playing. I've had surgery on both shoulders and both knees. It's hard now to exercise and stay in shape because of the aches and pains.

Running and jumping on hardwood all those years, makes sense.
