Father Time is undefeated

Their focus also slackens because they have now much wider interests to pursue. They can no longer pursue their sport single-mindedly as before. That is why old timers gradually fall by the wayside.

I do mean gradually. It doesn't happen overnight, which, I hope, is uplifting.

Uplifting, that is, relatively speaking. When all is said and done and when light turns into darkness, Father Time wins the day, all day, any day.

All right. Here are media examples of Father Time catching or catching up with athletes:

1. Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is aware that Father Time is undefeated against athletes.

He knew at some point his skills would diminish as he aged. So Ginobili began refining his game last year to help combat the issue.

Thus far, it has worked as he's become a more efficient player than in years past. He opened the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat with a 16-point, 11-rebound performance in Game 1. It was the Heat's first look at the new Ginobili.

“I've actually learned to play with less explosiveness,” said Ginobili, 36. “Before, my game depended on my ability to go by a defender. Right now, I can do it for a few minutes and I run out of juice. So I have to depend more on my passing ability, my understanding of the game, the system.”

Time was, Ginobili was one of the league's most athletic players. He earned a reputation for his ability to attack the basket and play with a reckless style. Now, his game is more subdued, preferring to let things come to him.
