I was thinking today, I’ve seen talks about people entering their prime at really old ages, like Karl Malone for example. But that made wonder, who hit the peak of their career at the younger ages? For example, micheal carter Williams practically peaked in his rookie year.
AD over Dame is fine. The rest are wrong. Your list just shows you have recency bias and didn’t care to learn about NBA history, so me commenting here isn’t going to fix that.
Melo is absolutely top 75 player, he’s #9 all-time scoring and is one of the greatest isolation scorers the game has seen.
