    Because when they were looking stricly at star caliber players. Kobe might retire in 3 years. Nash might retire in 3 years. Ron Artest and Pau Gasol are 32. Antawn Jamison is 36.

    Wade, Lebron and Bosh are in their prime. And you cant really knock on Lebron for playing 9 seasons already considering hes only 27. Hes only a year older than Monta Ellis.

    Because there starting lineup is old.

    Kobe---- 33

    Metta----- 32

    Nash-----38

    Gasol-----32

    Dwight Howard (Only young guy on starting line-up.

    Heat

    LeBron----- 27

    Dwayne Wade ----30---Not that old.

    Chris Bosh--- 28

    Mario Chalmers---26

    Battier----- 33

    2 more 20 year olds on the heats starting lineup and also another star on the bench. Lakers dont have a star on the bench.

    Probably because Kobe is old and Nash is really old. Gasol too. But honestly, age = experience. And experience = champions.
