Who’s gonna be KD rival when Bron retires??

[Mentch15]

Durant's already 30 this summer

You realize that both Jordan and Durant were 28 when they won their first rings right?

 

[Rigby.]

It’s only like 4 years difference right? I could see Bron making it to 2025, that’d make him about 39 and KD about 35? Depends on which one you think will age bettet

30 is still in the middle of a player's prime. He's good for another 3-4 years before his game starts to see noticeable declines.

Shaq won Finals MVP at age 30.

 

[Hugo Floss]

maybe a sleeper

 

[SAINT]

KD will retire with 4 and Steph with 5

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Whoever steps up to be KD's rival will end up having a new teammate the following season by the name of Kevin Durant.

 

[Shadow King]

Are u sure bron retires before KD?


I can see Bron playing on some Vince Carter type...but KD lanky self past 33...

Bron is in year 15 and is the fastest to however many minutes he has, 40K, 50K, whatever it is. Durant plays on a team with 3 other All-Stars. No way in hell KD retires before LeBron barring some horrible career-ending injury no one wants to see.

To answer the thread, it's Kawhi in the West and Giannis in the East.

Durant aint Jordan

I used to think that GSW, would have the league in a choke hold but I dont think they will anymore,

You can tell they're slipping a little bit, KD and Steph already are 30 next yr

Steph is 30 in a few weeks

 

[Mentch15]

Durant aint Jordan


Steph is 30 in a few weeks

He doesn't have to be Jordan considering that he has a stacked roster

 

[MJ Truth]

No bullshyt, there's a VERY good chance that Steph and KD noticeably fall off before LeBron does.

 

[MJ Truth]

Breh gotta actually play first.

Shaq won Finals MVP at age 30.

Yeah, Shaq won Finals MVP at age 30, and by 31-32 he was starting to show noticeable declines. That was a bad example.

There are a LOT of players who start declining long before 33-34. Especially because injuries become more common at those ages, and once you get a serious injury post 30 you rarely come back to your prime.

Bird's last great season was at 31.

Wade began showing noticeable decline at 30.

CP3 began losing a step around 30.

Paul Pierce peaked around 28-29 and slowed down after that.

Carmelo the same, peaked around 28-29 and then began to lose a step.

Garnett was good at 31 but still wasn't prime Garnett

Kobe was a warrior and yet by 32 he was basically only playing on one end of the floor

Even Duncan, who lasted as long as anyone ever does, really peaked around 26-27 and showed serious decline after 30.


There are players who last longer, but you can't just assume it. It's entirely possible that you'll see Durant begin to lose a step by 31 or 32.

Philly gang we takin over

 

[ALonelyDad]

Giannis if he ever gets a squad, Kawhi/Harden/PG13 & Westbrook will be the guys in the West.


I can't believe both Curry and KD are hitting 30s already, time flies
