5 Years Down the Road

[Joeed10]

I was sitting here watching Sportscenter this morning and was thinking. 5 years from now who are going to be the main players carrying the NBA. So I thought I would get a discussion going. Who would be your top 5 players in the NBA 5 years from now. Mine would be Lebron, CP3, and D Howard would be my main 3. After them it would be tough depending on Kobe at that time. I think he will still be up there but he may be getting to the end of his career. I'd like to think Durant, Deron Williams, or Chris Bosh will make a push. Maybe Rose or Beasley will get up to the top.

LeBron and CP3 would be my first two choices,of course, but then it gets complicated for me. I suppose Howard would go three, and then I would have to wait and see how well the top three picks of this past draft do. I have a feeling Durant isn't going to be "one of the top players" as long as he stays in the OKC (although I do like him). I could see D-Will and Bosh making a push. Beastley will always be second to Wade, so I'll go:
1. LeBron
2. CP3
3. Howard
4. Rose
5. Bosh?

I'm not sure if Wade's knees can keep him at superstar status five years from now, and it is also tough to tell about Kobe. I don't know though. I'm probably way off on this whole thing. Hopefully this list doesn't stay on this board for five years. lol
I'd also watch out for Brandon Roy and Danny Granger.

My list would be:
1) Lebron James
2) Dwyane wade
3) Chris Paul
4) Dwight Howard
5) Brandon Roy and Greg Oden

1) James
2) Paul
3) Howard
4) Rose
5) Bosh

No Wade because he might go down the Penny Hardaway route with the knee problems.

I like the way you think.
