Re: Official NBA Season Thread
Most elite players peak early.
Shaq put up 29.3 ppg at 21 and 22
Lebron already hit 30 ppg at 21
MJ had 37 PPG at 23 (28 at 21)
Wilt had 50 at 25
Barry had 35 at 22
Kobe peaked "late" - 35 at 27 - but he still had 30 at 24.
Kareem had 31 at 23.
Duncan's pretty much been the same player since he entered the league.
Dwight turns 22 in a week, it's possible this is the best we're gonna see out of him.
