The Oldest and Fattest Teams in the NBA

I was cruising through the morning sports news when I spotted this great article on Deadspin.com: 
The first thing I noticed was the correlation between age and success. The oldest team listed is the Miami Heat, generally accepted as the best in the league, with the youngest team listed being the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ha, no comment. 

The "fattest" team (more specifically, the team with the highest BMI - this is comedy after all) is the Philadelphia 76ers. Tied with the Cavs for youngest team, its hard to know if the 76ers are young and fat or just young and big. Whatever they are this is probably not going to be their year, the Vegas oddsmakers have already voted and Philly is a 300-1 longshot.

In honor of the Oldest and Fattest, here are my product picks of the day; an Official Old Guy Dwayne Wade autographed photo and an Official Non-Fat Former Philadelphia 76er Julius Erving autographed basketball.
