| I agree with all of those except for Lawson. I think he will be a valuable player and will step in and be great next year. I'm not worried about his size.

I don't see any Euros or college kids that are remotely close to being able to dominate the NBA. Am I missing anything? I don't even think Lebron is as good as advertised, but there just doesn't seem to be anyone that will be competing with him the next few years.
Also, surprised to see that Henderson isn't on this list. I've seen his name popping up between 10-15. | |

But back to the actual question please. | Kobe's nowhere near slowing down, Wade had as good a year as anyone this season, Carmelo Anthony is the best all around offensive player in the NBA, Dwight Howard has just scratched the surface(I'm pretty sure I saw his team eliminate LBJ's in the playoffs), and Portland has the best collection of young talent the league has seen in years. Absent major upgrades to his team, LeBron isn't dominating anything. | |

I think Kobe definitely begins to start fading. Agree to disagree. | |

Edit: Did you mean an actual European? | |
