I was thinking today, I’ve seen talks about people entering their prime at really old ages, like Karl Malone for example. But that made wonder, who hit the peak of their career at the younger ages? For example, micheal carter Williams practically peaked in his rookie year.

Tyreke Evans really did peak his rookie year

One of the best answers

MCW peaked his first game

he had a random second peak on the grizzlies in like 2018, he was a weirdly solid three point shooter and back up around 20/5/5 again. shame he was back to meh the next year in indy and then got busted for drug use right after

I went to the playoff pacers game where kyrie brought us back from a 10 point deficit, the last good game kyrie had in td garden.

Tyreke kept hitting the most random 3s...

I remember watching a documentary back in the day with Tyreke and others hoping to make it big one day. Kinda crazy how it actually turned out for most of them.

Gunnin’ for that Number 1 Spot! That shit was awesome.

[–] prematurely_bald@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, that was it!

[–] joeykey@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes dude! My buddy worked on that movie! He's got crazy stories about it.

my lasting memory of Tyreke on the Pacers is him blocking his own lay up attempt. one of the more surreal basketball plays I've seen

[–] tym1ng@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm still bitter that he won ROY that year over curry

Kings really did fuck his development up tho

[–] beforeitcloy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the Sacramento Kings franchise really shouldn’t have gotten him addicted to crack

[–] RiggityRyGuy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What playing for the Kings back then would do to a guy.

[–] FishinNFarmin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bargnani peaked in Bryan Colangelos head and only his head.

[–] prematurely_bald@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Everybody was looking for the next Dirk for a while there. It was a whole phase.

Same with Brandon Jennings
