Eh, we hear this in all sports now...but the games changed. In the 90's if somebody was only 23 they have a lot more room to improve..but nowadays with players entering the big leagues so young where you are pushed to your potential from day 1 and playing a grueling schedule it's not really like that if they are already a vet at 23. They might get a little better but it won't get that much scarier. People were saying this about LeBron, and he's better than he was when he was 23, but not scary that much better. His numbers(and ring count) is pretty much the same at age 27 then it was at 23. The most these guys pick up is a little more maturity and B-ball IQ.
I just think you'll see players start declining younger than you used to. You already see it with KG who started to noticeably decline at 32. Kobe as well though Kobe is still one of the best players.
I think KD is around where he'll be at for the rest of his career. He'll have better years but you can't tell me that guy aint prime.

Joe Jones was from Normangee?
He was maybe 6'9", but the boy was thick and played like a beast before his knees went to hell. Went toe to toe with LaMarcus Aldridge his freshman year and help his own.

Combined for 0 titles. Hardaway lost everything once Shaq left him. Hill was talented but was never close to being the best player in the league.

Hill and Hardaway combined for 1 finals appearance between them for their whole careers so Durant has already matched that.
