What happened to the former franchise player, did he fade away or did he succeed else where. Also what happened to the new franchise player and his team. Finally why did the organisation do it and do the fans regret the decision.
Sorry for the poor wording as I didn’t really know what the right term was.
One of the big reasons LMA left Portland was because he felt Dame was stealing his limelight.
Giannis and Jabari Parker. The hype surrounding Jabari Parker was pretty crazy and he honestly played really well until he got hurt. He went from being the next Paul Pierce Carmelo Anthony type to being replaced by the 15th overall pick.
I figured this post might be about SGA and Chet but no mention. I’ll just say it’s possible. Chet is amazing.
paul george stole granny danger’s limelight
this isn’t really telling the full story. danny granger simply could not stay on the court long enough for him to have any limelight as it is.
Not even a pacers fan, and I’m still wanting to see the Heatles try to beat the Pacers w a healthy DG.
Shoutout Hibbert
Jabari Parker never quite made it to being the Bucks’ franchise player, but he was supposed to be. Then he got injured and the unknown skinny kid from Greece drafted the year before him got big.
Mitchell to Garland so far. Jury is still out.
sengun vs green?
I remember Danny Granger was the king on the Pacers then all of a sudden Paul George took it from him.
LeBron to DWade during the Heatles run
For that team, I would say Lebron and Wade vs Bosh, especially with how Bosh’s career ended. D Wade already had respect from being a champion before Lebron.
Brunson took Randle’s, despite the fact that Randle is our reigning All-Star and All NBA player.
Jokic stole Nurkic’s limelight, people forget how good Murk was before the injury
I’m sure Tatum kinda having a quicker than expected rise contributed to why Kyrie got pissed off so much.
Imagine you’re the big franchise star and then some 19 year old newborn helps lead the team to within a few minutes of good basketball away from the Finals against Lebron. And he does this without you or the team’s big free agent signing playing a minute of playoff basketball.
Obviously they didn’t beat the Cavs and even if they did they would’ve gotten swept by the Warriors, but still kinda called into question Kyrie’s franchise player role early into his Boston tenure.
From my childhood, Paul Pierce stole Antoine Walker’s
Not quite taking the limelight but DeMar was always thought of as the guy that the raptors would build around, and then Lowry turns into the franchise GOAT on his 3rd team.
