I’m curious of NBA players ahead of their time. I’m trying to think and find NBA players who are role players or out of the league because they don’t fit the era they are in. I’m not looking for superstars that could also fit in another era. For example, Kawhi Leonard or LeBron James would do well in most if not every era. I’m not looking for those guys. I’m searching for players such as Boban who could’ve played in the 80’s and 90’s. Or Meyers Leonard in the early 10’s. Or Alize Johnson in the 90’s. Or Pat Bev in the 90’s/00’s. Or Montrezl in the 90’s. Or Nerlens Noel in the 80’s/90’s/00’s. Stanley Johnson 80’s/90’s. Or Jarrell Brantley in the 90’s.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

    You all are fucking wild if you think that a 2 time champion, 11 time all star, 1 All NBA guy is not a hall of famer.

      Yeah you’re right. I always seem to lose track of just how good he was pre-Miami. Crazy to think he could have ended up around 15-16 all-star games without the early retirement.

        he’s an easy HoFer but raptors bosh gets heavily overrated. Those all star appearances came wayyyy easier out east

          11 is still ridiculous. Especially considering he had to retire at 32 while still playing at an all star level.

          There is only one guy with 8+ that isn’t a hall of famer/probable hall of famer, and he played in the 50s.
