    personally, it'll easily be between bron and durant. lebron still has at least 7-8 dominant seasons and he'll play at a very high level until he's 33-34, barring any injuries. his overall game is more dominant than durant, and he has shown improvement every year.

    durant also has a great chance. his offensive game still hasn't peaked. it can still get better. and he can easily win 7-8 scoring titles this decade and cement himself as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. if he can win a few rings (which will be hard with the thunder), he can get this title.

    I have a feeling I'm going to hate John Wall by the end of the season. He hasn't played a single minute of NBA basketball, people. Lets hold the hype, shall we?

    i had no idea either. but i found him on nbadraft.net projected to go 9th in the draft next year.

    haha i guess someone out there thinks he is going to be better then durant or lebron.

    that'll be highly unlikely. the only thing you can argue for durant is "possibly" his scoring. and that's it.

    but a lot of people are jumping on the durant's bandwagon though.

    well seeing as how the heat will win about half of the championships in the next decade its hard to not vote for wade or lebron.

    if not them then durant.

    Carmello Anthony. I think winning 6-7 of the next 10 championships with the Houston Rockets will really give him the edge against others.


    If he doesnt join the Rockets, then screw him.

    Melo is our next chance for sure so hopefully we get him :), however Kevin Durant is a beast among men, so i wouldnt be suprised to see him take this, reguardless of team, i really believe he will be the next man that wont need anyone or anything

    Durant easy, espn seems to work for lebron, Durant is 21 already has incredibly impressive stats, winning, approach, and mentality
