Yea, this isn’t going to make Tim Duncan feel any younger. A photo went around Twitter yesterday of what LeBron looked like when Tim Duncan won his first NBA title. In 1999, LeBron was a high school freshman and in 1999, Duncan copped his first title.
Here’s the thing though — contrary to popular thought, the Spurs actually have a younger average team age than the Heat.
Check out the picture along with the age stats…

FYI Via PBT:
The Miami Heat – not the San Antonio Spurs – are the old team in these Finals.
The Heat have an average age* of 31.0 in the playoffs, second only to the Mavericks (31.3).
The Spurs (29.5) rank fifth in average age.*
*Weighted by minutes played, using a constant of a player’s age on Feb. 1 of that season
