5.Dwight Howard (if he gets a post game, which i don't see he hands down will be)

Probably some high school sophmore I've never heard of.

Injuries seem to make pretty good players forgotten quickly.

Blake Griffen and Greg Oden will be solid as they come back and if their team does the right thing in making them the first option (2nd option for the Blazers case because of B-roy) they can put up great numbers.

The thing about everyone mentioning bynum is that, yes, so far he has shown AMAZING potential, even though he is injury prone, but the biggest problem he has is that the only way he can shine the most is if he wasn't on the Lakers. I would hate to see him leave as a Laker fan, but as a Bynum fan, it would be pretty nice to see him as a first option on another team.

John Wall has yet to play in the NBA, so who knows as if now, the league gets more and more talented every year. So i hope when someone bumps this in 5 years, none of these star players of today turn into any grant hill's or steve francis' xD

It took Lebron 5 years in the league to finally become the best player last year (which was still debatable); and he had to really work on his game, even though from the first game of his career he was able to surpass all that crazy hype. So, most likely, the best player in 5 years is not going to be someone who's not even in the league yet -- All that hype around some of those high school and college players don't mean anything.

Having said that, I think it's going to be between KD, D-Rose, Lebron, and Tyreke -- In that particular order.

Could Josh McRoberts put on a legitimate show in an NBA dunk contest?

I think so. He became a big fan favorite late in the year catching lobs and jamming on dudes.

He'd have definitely won last year. There's still a cash prize for the winner right? If you're not gonna have the superstars in it I think having minimum contract guys like him is the 2nd best option, they could actually use the money.

My jaw dropped when I saw that, absolutely incredible.

Don't be so sure looking at all these bump threads of 5 years ago only about 10% of the posters where actually right with their prediction.

Also a great quote, only the people who posted LeBron/Durant/Curry were right, ~ 10% on rough math. Lol @ Tyreke, Rondo, and OJ Mayo, although their hype back then was understandable.
