I’d compare the modern advantage for older NBA stars to Sandra Bullock continuing to carry chick flicks and heartwarming Disney-esque movies at age forty-six. In Bullock’s era, female stars have remained more ageless than ever because of teeth whitening, better hair-styling, better dieting, weight training, yoga, Pilates, liposuction, Botox, implants and everything else. Bullock’s shelf life outlasted Meg Ryan’s shelf life for the same reason Allen’s shelf life will probably last longer than Miller’s shelf life: nowadays, you can remain more ageless than ever.
