Seems pretty straightforward for me that Arenas peaked higher, but Dame was a star for much longer.

Many people think it was the off-court issues with Arenas, but mostly his body just broke down.

Fun fact he was the first player to be waived when the nba implemented its amnesty option for teams

I feel like bubble Lillard peaked the highest but its different eras also.
