Amazing But True

Last year, in his second season in the NBA, at the age of 24, Leon Powe played in 24 playoff games as the Celtics won the NBA title.

Juwan Howard has been a member of the league since 1994 and he currently ranks sixth among active players in regular games played. In all that time - the arrival of the internet, the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, proliferation of cell phones, and so on - Howard has played in 23 playoff games, or one fewer than Powe played in last year.

And you wonder why Juwan keeps playing ...

now calculate the paychecks the both fellas are receiving now and will receive for the foreseeable future and that pretty much answers why Juwan keeps "playing"...

Howard has had a decent NBA career and is a savvy Vet. I wouldn't mind having an experienced player like that on my team, but the number of playoff games does shock me.
