All the perennial All-stars of the past 15 years are in the bottom of the standings. Only the Suns, Bucks, Mavs, and Heat have a 10 year player that is impactful. But still, the main guys on these teams are young.

People keep waiting for the tops of the standings to change but I'm betting it's over. the under 10 year guys are taking over. Guys in their 5-9 NBA year careers are going to keep getting better and the older guys are gonna lose this year.

Goodbye Steph, Klay, Dray, Lebron, AD, Kawhi, Harden, Russ, Paul George, CP3, Derozan, Vucevic

Hello Lamello, Haliburton, Ant Edwards, SGA, Sabonis, Tatum, Brown, Jokic, Embiid, Giannis

Lakers fans seething but you're right

Only the Suns have any chance of winning a ring and I think they're a total longshot

The Warriors are cooked, the Lakers are just weird and still rely on LeBron too much, I'm not even gonna acknowledge the Clippers chances

LeBron and Steph are still great players who could win in the right situations but they are not in the right situations to win

Yeah, remember all those years teams led by under 25-y/o players won championships?

You don't think Steph is still impactful?

[–] ItsLeJiMan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why is Vucevic even on that list?

League"ll be better when Bron gone.

I almost defended your own guy, nice bait.

[–] tapk69@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I agree with all you said but most of these players you named still have something in the tank. I guess injuries is what ultimately will decide how long their careers will go on.

To say the standings are gonna stay where they are in November is insane lol OP’s first time following the league

[–] mikeynerd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Dude, it's still the regular season. When all these vaunted rooks and young ones start winning chips, THEN you can start with the changing of the guard talk.

[–] W_HoHatHenHereHy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Neither KD nor Book on either list.

Never ever read so much trash in my whole life.

And this case is finished for me, after I read Lebron next to Goodbye and at the same phrase with Vucevic.

He talks about a "still" playing NBA legend, which makes it harder and harder for another great player to break his historical scoring record.

Have you ever watched an NBA game with these player or are you from another planet?

You should be ban for life to talk or comment anything about NBA.

Anybody should bring him to a live NBA game.
