Giannis, KAT, Porzingis, Anthony Davis all look like future top 20-30 all-time guys if everything goes right (barring any injuries).

In terms of top-10 all time like Tim, Lebron, MJ, etc., I think KAT has a real chance to be there. The Wolves have a bright future, too.

Yall overrate the hell outta porzingis i swear

Id like to say there's always "another one"...but tbh don't know. Look at the players coming in now : 19 year old lanky kids, the game has changed to rely less on individual talent (except shooting) so I'm not really sure we'll see kids able to "take over" physically and mentally as those guys could (I'm a Bron hater but there's no denying he's more than able to totally dominate a game/seires...actually my hate comes from the fact that he would sometimes take a backseat, for whatever reason)

KD and Steph are nowhere near that stratosphere, if only for physical reasons. Brehs were hyping up AD last year, we saw how that ended. I hear talk about Wiggins, about KAT and all that, but even early on I don't see the signs. shyt brehs were ready to put Paul George in LBJ territory :francis:

Also take into account injuies : Bron is a freak of nature that has gone all this way with no major injuries, kind of like MJ after he broke his foot early in his career. Players seem to all have injuries at some point now. Kobe or AI had ton of injuries but both were warriors/psychos that didn't let that get in the way. Not sure if that kind of mentality will still be in the NBA now that kids are pampered since they're 16-17 and know that as long as they stay healthy they gonna end up signing a 4 year 85 million contract. No reason to play injured if your thinking about that next contract.

I don't get why y''all are calling basketball players gods? That can land you in the Hellfire while they make millions of dollars. Another reason why you should lay off of the television and do something for yourself in life.
But anyways, LeBron did his thing. A large athlete. He was able to pass, score and rebound.

There's someone out there who will reach that level one day. They may not even be in the NBA yet or in high school but it seems like every 10 to 20 years we see a generational talent or two come through and it's only a matter of time before their is some 7'2 center out there with moves for days or some 6'8 two guard who reminds people of Kobe or Mj comes along. It seems like a while though but since Bron we have had players like Durant Curry AD debut and they may all end up as all time greats when their careers are over.

the Dubs gon have to give BOTH Curry & KD the max next season.. this team sticks together tops 2 years, who gon be assed out looking for a trade? :jbhmm:

Under the new cap you can have 4 max players. If anything the only player they have that may eventually be looking to get out is possibly Iggy, but he was one of the primary recruiters anyway so maybe he plans to stay a role player until he retires.

No such thing.

It usually takes about 20-30 years for a freak to come out and be clearly better than the rest.

Wilt, born in 36
Jordan, born in 63
LeBron, born in 84

The next one is either somewhere in elementary school or a newborn.

Hell, I don't want to get caught up into the hype too early, but Karl-Anthony Towns can potentially be the one. I don't think he is though, but looks like he is on his way to a HOF career.
