First there was Jordan, then came Kobe, then came Lebron. Who and where is the 4th coming?

AD has the best chance. I've said it from day 1 in the league, he has everything talent wise to be the best player in the league. And to go even further, I think he WILL be the best player in the league in 3 years no matter who is still playing. That means Durant, Lebron, whoever...

The leap he made from year 1 to year 2 is scary good. And if he has the work ethic in the summer, he will get better every year. He doesn't even need extensive moves in the post right now, just develop a go to move and a counter off that move and he could be lethal. His face up game is already elite for a 6'10 guy, he has a more than decent dribble and he is an elite finisher around the rim.

I don't care what nobody says, that dude is the future!

Coming out of high school, nobody expected Kobe to be this good. Jordan was great at UNC, but nobody thought he was going to be the goat. Only Lebron had that hype.

So sometimes you never know how prospects turn out

Anthony Davis or Andre Drummond?

Doesn't make sense to write off KD already...... He's this good with glaring holes in his game. He still has a lot of ways to improve

michael was given that type of nod out of hs.
he was even stiffed out of the mickey d's game, mvp award.

in college, after the death of len bias,...
mj was easily in that question in college.
could he be the best ever, and his development or better yet, his ascent in dean smith's kind of hide them till later minutes.
just cosigned that, you could have been watching the best ever.
only other player that gave me that feeling watching in college.
like i was watching a possible hof talent at guard was dwade at bradley.
with d rose, i wasn't particularly sold on d rose till he became a pro.
with d wade, i was like this dude is really scary to watch.
on the dribble drive, other than mj, you could not find a better guy in college with a game that would translate immediately to a pro.
i even had an older homie who was so crazy about both mj and later d wade.
he was like, you watching a guy in dwade.
that gives me that same thing i saw when i watched mj in college.
so, i paid attention, because this was a guy who saw mj in college, when he was a cognitive adult.
plus, saw joe montana, play as a freshie as a student at notre dame upperclassmen.

how kobe developed over time was a joy to watch.

kobe was just in a class of great hs basketball players.
i thought he was going to be the best, out of that class.
yet, he was in a class that included:

abdur raheim : who at the time was the best player, imo
garnett
ronnie fields : who if he would not have fukked up his shyt on fukkery. plus developed and got his scholastics in order. could have been at least oj mayo before oj mayo.

originally people made it like kobe was bugging to go straight from hs.
people used to clown the shyt outta me.
those first few years cause i rooted kobe on like no other, then.

IS THIS nikka SERIOUS?
ROSE WAS PLAYING 1 ON 5 VS MIA....
shyt WOULDA BEEN WAY DIFFERENT IF HE HAD DURANT AND EVEN HARDEN SCARY ASS BY HIS SIDE.

MIA WOULDNT GUARD ANYBODY ON THE BULLS OTHER THAN ROSE.

"ROSE ALWAYS LOOKS DEFEATED WHEN FACING ADVERSITY"

I SWEAR YOU BRON STANS JUST ALWAYS PULL shyt OUTCHA ASS
WITH THIS ROSE SLANDER CAMPAIGN.

ROSE HAS COME UP BIG, WAY MORE THAN NOT WHEN FACING ADVERSITY...
PROBABLY GOT MORE GAME WINNERS IN 4 SEASONS
THAN BRON HAS IN 11.
BUT AS I SAID BEFORE...
KEEP TRYING TO LET 1 SERIES AS A 22 YR OLD DEFINE HIS WHOLE CAREER...

WHEN BRON HAS HAD SUSPECT MOMENT AFTER MOMENT THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.
:devil:
:evil:

Again, Bron's numbers in his 2nd year in Cleveland were better than anything Rose has put up and his Cleveland squad was much worse than Rose's.

What's your argument there?
