barring injury i don't think he's going anywhere for a few years

dude there is no fn way bron starts to decline at 32
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 November 2012 18:40 (thirteen years ago)
right now he is at the peak age for basketball players, and his game is highly dependent on athleticism

THERE IS NO FISCAL BRON CLIFF

i don't think there's really a precedent for lebron so i'm not sure that worries me so much. his gradual move to the 4 will help too
― chief beef (k3vin k.), Thursday, 15 November 2012 18:43 (thirteen years ago)
i think hell be good for a long time and the early stages of his decline will be slight but in three years he will prob not be quite as good as he is now, and most people wont notice
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 November 2012 18:43 (thirteen years ago)
his gradual move to the 4 will help too
Yeah, at some point he'll just be a bad-ass PF instead an all-world SF.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i think davis is the best bet. i think there's a not-tiny chance that durant's already hit his ceiling and could regress
― chief beef (k3vin k.), Monday, 19 November 2012 01:10 (thirteen years ago)
durant seems to be showing a lot of improvement on defense and playmaking and maybe rebounding tho thats more likely an effect of the fact that hes playing the 4 more now

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

who is the other?? i had a hard time thinking of someone obvious
― chief beef (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 20 November 2012 00:01 (thirteen years ago)
(other than javale mcgee)
lebron still has a good number of years on top imo. voted other because i'm hoping there's some wunderkind out there who's not even in the league yet and will dominate post LBJ.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 20 November 2012 00:22 (thirteen years ago)
Agree I don't think the player who takes the reins from Lebron is in the league right now.

kyrie is a bold inclusion on this list and while i'm really high on him, when's the last time a point was the best player in the league? magic? mayyybe cp3 for a minute there?
― liljon /bia/ bia (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 20 November 2012 17:34 (thirteen years ago)
cp3 for a min otm
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 17:37 (thirteen years ago)
i like kyrie a lot, he maybe doesnt quite have the athleticism to compete for best player in the world tho

There’s nothing special about this coverage, apart from James drawing the attention of every player on the floor.

well obviously this was curry
who's next? towns?

ya prob, fwiw its arguable that kd was better than bron for a season
― lag∞n, Monday, 13 June 2016 16:58 (nine years ago)
theres still a chance for brow to briefly be it hes only 23. obv he'd need to not die repeatedly
― ciderpress, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:11 (nine years ago)
i still have faith in the brow, would be surprised if he just plateaus and then declines

― lag∞n, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:17 (nine years ago)
Got a feeling that towns is gonna own the league for a good chunk of time starting in about two years

lotta towns fans itt. no one saw curry coming.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Saturday, 29 December 2018 18:06 (seven years ago)
surprised no one mentioned kawhi...or was this before his finals MVP?
seems like the lebron/curry/KD/brow/giannis/kawhi group is going to have a good grip on the elite conversation for the next couple of years at least, no one else really knocking on that door except maybe embiid or jokic?
― k3vin k., Saturday, 29 December 2018 18:12 (seven years ago)
knew I was forgetting someone in that elite group: harde obv

this poll was during kawhi's 2nd year which led to the first of the heat-spurs finals matchups. he was still basically a role player at that point. reminds me that start-turns can kinda come out of nowhere (like justise winslow rn for example).
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Saturday, 29 December 2018 19:06 (seven years ago)
i can see deaaron fox or luka getting into this conversation in a couple of years.
