How many active players would you consider transcendent (career wise)? And who's next

[RRR3]

Tim Duncan
Kobe Bryant
LeBron James

Are the top 3 obviously.


Then

Kevin Garnett
Dwyane Wade
Dirk Nowitzki
Kevin Durant (early but still)
Chris Paul?



Who do you see going down as a transcendent player?

[JohnMax]

Duncan

big drop off

Kobe
Wade
Lebron
Nowtizki

[MavsSuperFan]

What do you mean by transcendent? If you mean popular outside of basketball or sports fans than Duncan is wrong. I associate with a lot of non sports fans and they were shocked when Lebron lost last year. They were like "I cant believe lebron lost to a team of nobodies"

Are you just using transcendent to mean really good at basketball or having accomplished a lot?

Do you know what that word means?

[MavsSuperFan]

Basketball players that would be known to non-basketball fans

Lebron
Kobe
Griffin
Durant
Wade
CP3

Exciting players that win tend to become popular among non-sports fans.

Eg. Dunks, blocks, flashy passing, ball handling.

Kyrie Irving, Westbrook, John Wall and the brow are probably going to make bank off the court very soon

In basketball terminology, I consider "transcendent" to be a superstar that can withstand ANY era. Who's star shines amongst the brightest.

LeBron/Kobe/Durant fit that bill, IMO.

LeBron, Kobe and Durant fit the bill, IMO.

To be honest that would be every great player

Duncan, Dirk, KG, ones you mentioned, etc
