dr j was the man in the ABA but in the NBA wasn't nearly as dominant

Dr. J in the NBA was in his late 20's and he was great, but once the 80's hit he was in his 30's and depending on others to carry the team. He was still NBA all team in the late 70's as part of the 76ers, but he didn't have a team around him. His career in the 76ers would have been LeBron right now if he stayed in Cleveland.

Maybe 31 or 32, but based off the mileage on his legs and the fact his game is based off being the most physically dominate player ever. Once the speed and agility leaves, he can either develop into a jump shooter like MJ or Kobe, or become the Round Mount of Rebound like Barkley. But he wouldn't be the King forever and he'll have to adjust.

he's not even in the top 125 in minutes played in NBA history

The only current players above him are all over 30 and he's above such young players like Pau Gasol, Jermaine O'Neal, Shane Battier and Marcus Camby. I wonder if Kobe will ever catch Kareem, or is he looking to retire sooner? Most everybody above Kobe is either a jump shooter or big man. That's very telling how long slashers like Kobe and MJ last, and those two adjusted their game later on.
