Perhaps so. Still, as I've said before, analysts are more conflicted than a Woody Allen character. That must be fixed. But to focus on them is to gloss over guilt that investors must share, guilt that frightfully few want to accept.

Everybody else limps away," says NBC analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton, who played until he was 35. "Basketball is a young man's game and always will be.
