They say that age is just a number; is it? Or is age truly what is starting to catch up to the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA playoffs? How old is too old?

For the Lakers, the end means an offseason of questions, beginning with free agent Dwight Howard’s status and continuing through the health of aging guard Kobe Bryant and ancient guard Steve Nash. Let’s take a look at...
