When I said that, I was called a resident hater, but I believe and I will tell u why. I think a player has peaked when his atheletic skill and basketball skill are even. Yao basketball skill is flatlined with his atheletic skill. The key is how long do they stay even? That's why orlando took howard instead of emeka. When u have super atheletes and the skill catches up, u get hof's. I actually think everyone except brooks and landry have peaked. Although both are size limited, they have some good atheletic upside. All that said, they can maintain their level of play for a few more yrs. BTW, I think the playoffs have shown Howard is the best center. Sorry.
