Player's ceiling 

Post#1 » by neno » Wed Oct 22, 2025 3:21 am

What is a player's ceiling?
Can u exceed a ceiling?
Example
Kobe Bryant reached his ceiling
Jokic exceed his ceiling
Shaq did not reach ceiling
Are those correct?
How do you view(think they should be viewed) player ceilings

I would say if you are a center at least 8 feet.

Most ideal would be 10 foot ceilings to be honest, especially considering how much these guys make.

I'd be dissapointed in 8 foot ceilings if I made anything more than $1 million per year. I am however a big fan of drop ceilings.

BTW what's RealGM's infatuation with ceilings? Electrical, framing, and plumbing is much more interesting IMO. Someone needs to make a thread how much NBA players spend on other aspects in their house other than ceilings.

What's the argument for Shaq not reaching his ceiling?

Do you think he should have been a GOAT candidate?
