Re: Player that peaked early/late
Some say Hakeem peaked late when he won his titles. I dunno, he was pretty damn good before that...

Re: Player that peaked early/late
Chris Paul and Malone are bad examples as they are elite players.
Best example to mind is Steve Nash who turned from a good PG to a 2x MVP winner and now a HOF'er.
Tyson Chandler also became a premier big in the league after a disappointing start to his career.
Edit: Kirk Hinrich peaked really early. Was a very good PG then he just fell off hard

Re: Player that peaked early/late
Peaked or finally had a good team?
And I don't think that Utah (using Malone and Stockton as an example) would make it to the finals if the late 90's was as competitive as the early 90's.Last edited by Magic 32; 07-13-2013 at 11:02 AM.

Re: Player that peaked early/late
grant hill peaked early but his career stuttered and stalled a LOT thanks to knee injuries and it wasnt til very late in his career that he was able to string an impressive amount of games together

I'd say 2011 was his peak. Originally Posted by cos88

Re: Player that peaked early/late
Dwight's best year was 2011. You're confusing Dwight Howard with the Orlando Magic I think. Same thing with Malone. Originally Posted by cos88
