What are your best guesses about the NBA 5 years from now? (alien.top)

After silently judging as I scrolled through posts riddled with hot takes from 5 years ago I thought...

What are your hottest takes about how the NBA will look 5 years from now? (Go wild with your guesses, nobody will be judging you......)

My hot takes are

  1. Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
  2. The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
  3. LeBron will continue to refuse to retire, while still putting up 18/4/4. And will blame it on wanting to play with his wife's uncles barbers daughters stepson 17 years from now.

Why do people say Giannis relies almost entirely on athleticism. Y’all act like footwork, finishing/touch, defensive positioning, playmaking, rebounding, and rim protection aren’t skills. The only skill Giannis doesn’t have is shooting.

you named a whole mess of attributes and precisely two of them translate to losing a step to age or injury, dude: finishing is a product of his innate athleticism and blowby potential, his playmaking is a product of his gravity, his rebounding is a product of his build and height and his rim protection is a product of his incredible ability to recover and leap

his footwork and his defensive positioning may translate, but that's really all you're going to maintain into the twilight of your career if you don't age as gracefully as lebron
