What player had the youngest prime? (alien.top)

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.

Kyrie comes to my head. He still plays like he’s in his prime but that’s if he plays at all

Are we disqualifying D-Rose from this on the basis of injury? Because I think that
"youngest MVP ever" would be a very young and very high peak, but we never saw what he really could be due to those injuries.

Derrick Rose youngest MVP

Kobe started his prime very early. Wasn’t he like 22, 23, and 24 during the three-peat?

MCW didn’t even reach his prime, the management knew he was horrible, but they made sure he always had the ball to build up his value.

I’m surprised Deron Williams isn’t much higher up.

I know that he is still in his prime somehow but bron in his first stint in cleveland was a beast

Lebron and Magic Johnson.

Magic won the championship in his rookie year

Lebron lead his team to the Finals in 2007 his third year he was only 22

If guys where it didn’t have to do with injury, probably Isiah Thomas. He earned his 5th and final all nba selection at 25, which is nuts to think about.
