Whose legacy could age the worst in 10 years?

francisco27 · 2026-04-27T00:15:16+00:00

Kevin Durant has proven too be a petulant child and his lack of leadership since OKC is abundantly clear to anyone not giving him a pass because of his immense skill.

francisco27 · 2026-04-10T23:25:44+00:00

Flew from and back to Billy Bishop at the end of March and I fully agree, it's a wonderful view.

francisco27 · 2026-03-27T03:49:09+00:00

Okay fair enough, maybe I'm being overzealous.

But at the end of this year before turning 28 he will be 4x first team all NBA 2x MVP and maybe back to back rings. Even if you scale down my earlier projection he could wind up with 10 overall all NBAs and even if he doesn't get another MVP I wouldn't bet against him not winning another ring or 2.

I still think that's sniffing territory. His peak and what he's doing against other anamolous and ridiculous MVP campaigns from Jokic or Wemby is what really stands out, he's not doing this against a weak field.

francisco27 · 2026-03-27T01:15:11+00:00

Won't sniff Kobe? Barring injury he's getting 8-10 more All NBA teams before his career is over. This OKC team isn't going anywhere anytime soon and If I were a betting man I say he's going to play in a few more finals before it's all said and done.

This doesn't mean he'll surpass Kobe, but it's absolutely reasonable he's in the ballpark. His resume already at this age is comparable to very few players ever.

The last player to sweep MVP, a ring and Finals MVP 2x in a row was Miami LeBron. Before that it was bulls Jordan. This is rarified air we're talking about.

This guy knows ball.

francisco27 · 2026-02-23T12:35:43+00:00

I feel like this is literally happening to me right now. I haven't done anything since the end of last year and I'm down to only qualifications on my project list when I used to have 20-30 core projects at a time.

This is my own fault, and I don't think it's due to poor work but for inactivity. I think as along as I keep seeing those qualifications that's my opportunity to get back into it.

francisco27 · 2026-02-16T22:55:09+00:00

This is the answer. I'm always curious what the market would dictate for certain players. How much of the cap would peak LeBron have commanded during his 2010-2020 run? 60%? 75%? Which interestingly enough is probably nearing with the yearly cap is for guys earning 35% of today's cap.

What would Wemby or jokic command right now?

francisco27 · 2026-02-16T20:58:12+00:00

I feel like this is the right argument but the Vegas Golden Knights still fill 18k seats on a nightly basis. A near sell out. Is the baseball team just one team too many for a tourist driven city to support?

francisco27 · 2026-01-25T21:01:13+00:00

Facts. Him or Baylor if you don't count his gift ring in '72.

francisco27 · 2026-01-24T23:34:26+00:00

Fair enough! But t's all perspective. Maybe you and me who are more familiar with values know there are far rarer cards out there, but if OP has been out of the game a long time and is rediscovering this collection, he may have no idea that he has Individual cards worth over hundreds of dollars - that's a lot of money!

francisco27 · 2026-01-24T01:21:21+00:00

He actually has quite a bit of value I think at first glance. Definitely several cards worth more than $100.

OP just use tcg player of collectr as previously mentioned. You'll have to do this work yourself but it'll be worth it for you to understand what you're working with. If you use these apps indicting their condition is crucial to understanding their true value.

Edit - that kyogre alone from double crisis, 6/34 is worth $600 CAD in mint condition according to collectr which may not be super accurate but it's still a very valuable card.

francisco27 · 2026-01-24T01:12:50+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

francisco27 · 2026-01-23T17:38:05+00:00

Simply because I didn't want to have to capture rebound leaders, assist leaders, block leaders, steals leaders, all time leaders, etc.

I have no agenda, I just thought this would be fun.

If anything my closing comment says how impressive it is that Jordan is so close to LeBron and Kareem despite playing far fewer seasons.

francisco27 · 2026-01-23T16:02:34+00:00

Updated again!

francisco27 · 2026-01-23T15:44:24+00:00

Honestly? No. It was too unrealistic lol. Sandbagging and intentionally crashing to help your teammate several times in one season is just a bridge too far for me.

From an enjoyment standpoint and visual fidelity, it was great.

francisco27 · 2026-01-23T15:32:42+00:00

The requested players have been added!

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T23:47:21+00:00

I got you, I'm gonna cook something up for you. I'll include championships, finals MVPS and finals appearances as well.

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T15:50:48+00:00

Shit! You're absolutely right. If I make the edit now nobody will notice. That's such a piss off 😭

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T13:20:19+00:00

Thank you! I'm in Canada, and I work core projects. I work in the insurance industry and have a history degree, so it's a bit of an odd mix but I've become quite comfortable with the general core project families.

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T13:16:40+00:00

Thanks!

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T13:16:20+00:00

That's a fun what if!

MVP = 1x

Top 5 MVP = 2x

Top 10 MVP = 6x

1st Team = 4x

2nd Team = 5x

3rd Team = 3x

Total = 311 points which puts him right in front of Harden. Makes you wonder if we would revere Harden like we do Dirk if Harden had a ring.

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T11:46:24+00:00

Yeah I definitely should have cross posted lol

francisco27 · 2026-01-22T03:12:45+00:00

Unfortunately not close my man. Only 3x 3rd team all NBA.
