They are still going to try and compare the best to MJ, and will continue to be wrong…

The next 10 years and probably forever will see more players trying to be almost in the same class as MJ.

The next ten years will bring the death of the TRUE center. The game is shiftin towards 4 +1/2 type tweeners that can bang and rebound but can also step out and hit 20 foot jumpshots. Players like KG, Dwight, Bosh, Amare, Durant, Rashard, Dirk, Sheed, Odom, Gasol, Aldridge, Al Jeff, Horford, Josh Smith, Anthony Randolph, Hedo, Beasley ,Troy Murphy and Bargnani, among others , are paving the way for the future and leadin to the extinction of the bonafide 5 man. Shaq, Yao, Big Z, Camby bein the last of the true centers. Eddy Curry, Dampier and Chandler bein the damn near never was, and Bogut,Kaman and Okafor amongst those tryin to find their way…

The next big thing in 10 years will be corporate ownership of teams. Instead of Nike negotiating endorsement contracts with players it will instead be with teams. Think of the Memphis Nike Grizzlies, or the Miami Gatorade Heat. It is only a matter of time

In the year 2013…Assuming Kobe is no longer playing at the rate he is currently. In fact, to make this more interesting, I will remove Kobe from the equation (Though he would still probably be a 1st or 2nd team selection).

NBA First Team:
1. Derrick Rose
2. Dwayne Wade
3. Lebron James
4. Amare Stoudamire
5. Dwight Howard

NBA Second Team:
1. Chris Paul
2. Brandon Roy
3. Kevin Durant
4. Blake Griffin
5. Chris Bosh

NBA Third Team:
1. Rajon Rondo
2. Danny Granger
3. Carmelo Anthony
4. Dirk Nowitzki
5. Hasheem Thabeet

Oh, and QQ got some Brain ona Plane today. Believe dat!

The rule not letting players become draft eligible out of high school has to be up near the top. I don’t agree with the rule and I think it hurts both the NBA and college basketball. Sure it’s fun to see Kevin Durant and Mike Beasley play one year in the Big 12, but these are kids clearly NBA ready by the end of their high school careers and there’s no sense in making them attend a university for one year. They get no true college experience out of it and take the issues surrounding Derrick Rose and O.J. Mayo as examples as to why it’s a poor rule. Two guys who grew up thinking straight to the league out of high school and now have academic and money issues being investigated because they’re forced to go to college.

I think Lebron will shape the league for the next decade, barring injury, perhaps much like Jordan did.

I think Durant is going to be huge, a Larry Bird-like scorer who can hit from literally everywhere.

To me Rondo is going to shock some people by being a top-two point in the league within three years.
