and fwiw there has been a fair amount of sports age fraud in some of the areas of africa where birth certificates arent routinely issued, iirc a good chunk of the nigerian youth soccer team got busted not long ago

I'm usually skeptical of such things but when a guy begins a steep decline at 24 with no major injuries...
People used to say the same thing about Mutombo but he was a rock for 15 years.

Reminder that an American player lied about his age very recently (Shabazz Muhammad) and people were skeptical of Lebron.

Mutumbo was still pretty productive his last few years. My friend used to always be the rockets on nba2k6 and he would play him and Yao together and I swear I couldn't get a shot of inside

illyasova and zhizhi and ibaka=same race; lebron and ibaka=different races

A fair number of Dominican Republic baseball players take years off their real ages too; one of our very own ilxors was convinced that Pujols was older than he stated.

You know I don't doubt it but I have to say he's come a long way in the past year. I watched some footage from this spring today and I actually think he might make it into the league. When he played in the hoop summit he looked like a washout imho.
