I grew up watching Kobe, T-Mac, Iverson, Shaq and other players who basicly were the face of the 2000’s.
In my opinion the talent was very high in that time, similiar to the late 80’s/early 90’s.
Now players get older and it feels sad to see some of the former childhood heroes decline.
In five years only a handfull of them will be left on their last legs and others will be called superstars.
The image and the flair of the league changes aswell.
Players who changed the entire league (Shaq, Kobe etc.) aren’t getting younger.
In what direction does that lead?
Will the NBA still be the highlight factory it was and still is?
What players could become the next highly influentual icons for the kids?
Maybe some of you thought about it, too.
And probably some of you have better questions.

Opinions are welcome. 🙂

Its life players come n go I understand what your sayin thou..there is always players that r goin 2 be missed n the league like how u say the 2000’s was great ppl say the same about the 90’s with Barkley Jordan Stockton Malone Ewing Reggie all fading out @ that time..I think the league is n good hands right now with Lebron Melo Dwight Paul Durant etc

Duncan, Dirk, Nash, 2003 draft class (they played for more than half of this decade).

its hard to see shaq not playing at the level he was able too but thats life, it happened to reggie miller, pippen and most of the other greats. they had thier time, now its time to hand the torch over like magic, bird did for mj

I think this is the most talented the NBA has been since the late 80s/early 90s

i agree Duhrant but i would love if there were better put together teams but it would appear that is slowly happening with some better Gm’s maybe coming up cept Kahn but he makes up teams better though lol
