Really exciting what has been happening thus far, so much change, so many new faces stepping up to prime time roles. The LeBron, Kobe, D Wade days look to be over, and as much as we though it was going to be all about Anthony Davis, it turns out that Steph Curry really is now the best player in the world, and as much as we though last year's draft was a once in a lifetime,this year's is actually better with guys like Karl Anthony-Towns, Kristaps Prozingis and Jahlil Okafor looking to be the new stars, shifting the focus from perimeter back into the pivot.
Add in Andre Drummond, Khawi Leonard and Andrew Wiggins leaps forward, Boogie's Ascension, Goebert and Giannis' potential and the entire league is looking long, huge, international, and extremely athletic. Just when we thought it was going to be all about threes.
The winds of change are truly blowing this season and it has provided the biggest breath of fresh air the league has seen in a decade.
So many fun teams and interesting storylines, this might be the GOAT league pass year (until next year at least).

Kobe/Wade sure, but LeBron's days certainly are not over yet. He's still a top 5 player and is a near lock to make the Finals

Don't forget Whiteside , he 'emerged' last year but he's definitely looking like an all-star pick. But I agree, a diverse mix of talent is emerging and the winds of change are definitely blowing. Lebron and even Durant seems to be becoming something of an after-thought, though they're still top 5. Curry and the Warriors blitzing the league is going to be a fun season-long storyline.

We could witness the next great center era.
There are many young guys mainstream media barely talks about that are really good like Vucevic Nurkic and Gobert.
Than you have rising stars in Drummond, Whiteside and Towns and Okafor.
And you got the established guys like Cousins(PF),Davis(PF) and Deandre Jordan.

I don't think we'll reach mid-90s level or early-mid 2000's PF level, but yeah its nice to see alot of bigs especially from the center spot with real impact again.

Why are you Bran stans such soft c*nts? Seriously. No one is doubting Bran or even KD aren't top 3 in the league, but it is changing, and the Bran, Wade, Kobe troika is definitely done, as is the Bran, KD duo (which was last year's discussions).
Doesn't mean Bran is bad or nota top player, but it isn't about him anymore, and it wasn't that long ago he had the world by the balls.

Meh.
This era blows IMO. NBA peaked in 2008 and has gone down hill every year.

Eh. I actually think the NBA is going back to its boring years if you ask me. The league was actually at a high peak from 2007-2010 with the Lakers/Celtics and LeBron with Cleveland.

Pretty much.
The league was loaded from a talent perspective in the late 2000s to early 2010s. But now the Kobe/Duncan generation stars are exiting and the Lebron/Wade generation stars are starting to hit the decline stage of their careers.
I haven't been this uninterested in the NBA in a long time.
