A Banach space X has the average distance property (ADP) if there exists a unique real number r such that for each positive integer n and all x1,…,xn in the unit sphere of X there is some x in the unit sphere of X such that .

It is known that l2 and l∞ have the ADP, whereas lp fails to have the ADP if 1 ≤ p < 2. We show that lp also fails to have the ADP for 3 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Our method seems to be able to decide also the case 2 < p < 3, but the computational difficulties increase as p comes closer to 2.
