The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers are in a tough spot right now.
One team is led by an older player, and the other by a guy who can’t stay healthy.
On the other hand, the Western Conference keeps getting younger and younger, with Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Anthony Edwards set to dominate for years.
That’s why Vincent Goodwill believes this is a young man’s league now.
Talking on the Ball Don’t Lie podcast, the renowned analyst explained that teams led by older players most likely won’t stand a chance for the foreseeable future.
This is a younger man’s game, younger man’s league https://t.co/zH6YVIadTO

While LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Stephen Curry are all great and could have big games every now and then, it’s hard to ask them to do so for a full 82-game season and four playoff rounds.
Goodwill believes that people who ask whether a player will be able to turn back the clock and get the job done already have their answer, and it’s most likely not.
So, as much as the players have every right to maximize their value and get as much money as they possibly can, that’s not likely going to translate into winning at the highest level.
It’s somewhat sad to see some of the best players on Earth slowly fade away.
But that’s just the way things happen.
At least we can be sure that the league is going to be in great hands by the time the old guard is finally ready to call it quits and walk away from the game.
