HoopsinHotlantaWho will be the next NBA great?
As a true diehard basketball fan I often as myself this question. In this day and age great is judged by so many different qualities. Does he dunk well, does he pass well, is he a winner, what kind of attitude does he have? Personally, I do look at natural talent but isn’t a great player supposed to win? Isn’t a great player supposed to make the players around him better? Isn’t a great player supposed to lead by example on and off the court? Don’t get me wrong everyone makes mistakes but I think I’m making myself clear.
It just sit back and observe how the media hypes up some these young players like they are the next this and that but when you look at what the player has done overall there’s nothing there. They might have flashes here or there but nothing that stands out and makes you say,” wow, that guy is destined for greatness!
Some may call me a hater but on the contrary, I love this sport and I want to see the bar raised on who we hype up as the next great batch of NBA greats. The current NBA 50 greatest players may have a few questionable players on it but they would definitely be on the NBA greatest 60 players. I think what I am asking is,” Can we just expect more and ask more of the players who we consider great? Because, if we don’t, the quality of basketball will definitely decrease and the game as a whole will suffer.
