This is perhaps the most talented era in NBA history.
We’ve seen multiple stars rule the game for the better part of a decade, and while LeBron James has been the guy to beat for the past 20 years or so, several guys have also had their chance to reach the mountaintop on his watch.
Even though we’ve seen Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and other guys like Jayson Tatum or Joel Embiid make a name for themselves over the past couple of years, it seems like it won’t be long before the younger stars take the league by storm.
With that in mind, Stephen Curry believes that Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Anthony Edwards will be the new faces of the league once he, James, and Kevin Durant call it quits (via Vincent Goodwill & Legion Hoops).

This isn’t a far-fetched prediction at all.
Doncic is already putting up historical numbers and looks like one of the most dominant scorers and playmakers this game has ever seen, although he has yet to find success in the postseason.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders’ numbers are oddly similar to Michael Jordan’s, and the Oklahoma City Thunder have the makings of a potential dynasty with all the young talent.
As for Edwards, he seems to have that old-school competitive feel for the game, and he’s just so smooth on offense and continues to get better every single season.
It’s going to be tough to see these legends ride into the sunset, but the league is in great hands.
