As a Chicago-born sports journalist with a passion for underdog stories and data-driven narratives, I’m calling out the bias: why do we still treat 29-year-old Ounana like he’s some rising prodigy? When you look at his stats, leadership, and consistency, he’s not just *potentially* elite — he’s already there. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s performance. Let’s stop romanticizing age and start recognizing excellence when it arrives — even if it comes from someone who doesn’t fit the mold.
