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.

Tim Duncan was so much more athletic before his knee injury. He was still so incredible even with reduced athleticism, but it makes you wonder if he hadn’t gotten hurt.

Tim Duncan was always a below average athlete for the NBA and rarely played above the rim even as a rookie. Just another myth about Duncan that gets repeated on here.

Absolutely not lol. Duncan’s was unbelievable athlete before the injury and a terrific athlete after.
