That's a bad list. You think Wade has peaked but not Garnett or Duncan?

Wade still has a lot of years left, how about Jason Kidd?

Nash seems to have lost a step(at least in the past 15 games or so)

Do you think it's the Shaq effect? I think without the pure run n gun system the Suns had before, Nash will not look as good.

Dwight Howard
Lebron- unless he learns to play shut down D, there isn't much better he can get.
Bosh has probably peaked, there isn't much more his game can expand too.
and of course the older players except for Kobe, Kobe is like wine, he gets better every year. And Duncan, because he doesn't care about the regular season.
Nash peaked in the 04-05 season
AI peaked awhile ago
Ray Allen is already on the decline
Joe Johnson has peaked
Billups
Pierce
Wallace
Boozer
Dirk
Wade could very well have peaked, unless he develops a more consistant outside shot there isn't much room for improvement.
a peak can be a plateau, it isn't saying the person will get worse, just that they are at the maxima of their possible potential and there is no more vertical potential.

Nah, he's looked a little out of sync even before Marion left/Shaq started playing.

LeBron could improve his jump shot and develop a post game, he still has plenty of areas he could improve.

d12 lbj and dwade have not peaked yet. you guys are crazy.
only person i KINDA agree with is Lebron, Kuz hes already sooo good its hard to see think how much better he could get. But then again he is MORE than strong enough to have a post game, and if he ever develops one its gunna be scary.

Lets see, develop better back to basket game, better post and help side defender, Bosh should be averaging a lot more bpg, but he's only 23

how is wade on the decline and how is wade the next steve francis/marbury , first off he's better then francis and marbury ever were and neither francis nor marbury even in their primes were ever even clsoe to being considered the best in the nba which wade was for 2 seasons and was easily a top 5 player then ... so by u saying wade is on the decline ur saying wade is going to be worst next season then the season he's having now ??

How is a 23 Chris Bosh at his peak?
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2008 9:12 am
Yao Ming -- dont see him being more than he is now.

Please stop...lol.
Amare, Bosh, Butler, Lebron and Melo at their peaks?
Were you joking or do you need a definition of the word 'peak'?
