Ahmad Rashad was one of the preeminent basketball personalities during the ’90s, and to no one’s surprise, he features prominently in ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary series on Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. He’s also apparently ageless. I, along with the rest of basketball Twitter, had no idea that Ahmad Rashad was actually 70 years old – yet he somehow only looks like he’s just pushing 40.
Seriously. Think about that. Most of us were introduced to Rashad through his coverage of Michael Jordan and his role on NBA Inside stuff.
But what you probably didn’t know is that, when Jordan entered the league in 1984, Rashad was already 34 years old. And he only looked like he may have been 23 at the time!
It gets even more wild when you realize he was an PRO BOWL CALIBER NFL WIDE RECEIVER in the 70’s. This man was caught 44 whole touchdowns before anyone even knew who Michael Jordan was.
Yet, somehow, this man has spent the last 40 years looking 30 years old. This is amazing.

If you look at him quickly enough here he looks like he could be a double for Kyrie Irving right now. All of this after 10 years of playing in the NFL. No one should look this spry after that.
The people are so confused.

We really need the Ahmad Rashad documentary. Not because we want to know more about his NFL career or because we want to know what it was like following Jordan around all those years. Nope. All that stuff is fine and good. But that’s not what we’re after.
Come up off of that skin care routine, buddy. We need it. ASAP.
