When John Tavares was 30, he used to say he had five years of pro lacrosse left in him. Now that he's 36 and still going strong, what does he tell people who ask how much longer he plans to stick around?
"I've modified it," Tavares said. "I say I'll quit when I'm not having fun anymore and not contributing enough."
If that's the case, he should be around for a long time. Tavares is the greatest player the Bandits have ever had, maybe the best the indoor game has seen. And yet he shows no signs of slowing down. In his 14th season, he is at once the franchise's historic monument and its leading scorer, still the most dangerous man on the field.
