They're not that young... Marbury's been in the league since 1996. Some other players I can think of whose talent level just suddenly dropped off the face of the earth: Vin Baker, Shawn Kemp, Terrell Brandon,

These players have been playing for a while now. They are getting older and their are a lot more explosive, young talents entering the league. Stephon Marbury is a victim of his own ego. He believes that he is the best guard in the league, but he needs to learn humility. He's been playing for a decade now on countless different teams. Obviously something is wrong with him. Steve Francis also has a bad ego. He stopped performing well in Houston when the coach wanted to make Yao Ming the center of attention. If they can deal with their attitudes, they can be the All-Stars they were in the beginning.

Both players are still All-Star caliber players. The main weaknesses with them are their attitudes and basketball I.Q.. A few other players with the same problem: Jason Williams, Allen Iverson, Jamal Crawford, Zach Randolph, Darius Miles. Steve overdribbles, shoots too much, makes risky passes, and makes more turnovers than a bakery. He also likes to play 2 on 5 ball; that means he'll only pass to 1 specific player, usually the other guard the majority/entire game. Marbury has the same problems overall and he's a liability on defense. He's also a worse passer. He usually passes when he knows it may wind up on ESPN or a highlight film. If you had to pick one, I'd roll with Steve. Despite the problems, he's a better rebounder than Steph, he can give Steph level scoring, and he's up there with Dwyane Wade when it comes to athleticism.

Marbury and Francis both are on my favorite team the Knicks. There styles are too similar and one of them has to go they still have their talent just on the worst team in NBA history.

They just get to cocky. lol. Some of them start believng that they are jordan and they know everythinh so they dont even try to learn new things, while the new talent that is coming in (Dwayne Wade, Lebron, Carmello) is learning and practicing ways to improve their game. Example Wade just started shooting threes last season towards the middle of the seaon and now this season he's comming out the gate shooting three's as he did in the homeowner because he knows thats not a strong quality in his game but after practicing that he is becoming better and better.

not confident about a.I. yet i imagine the different ones are quite somewhat done. I mean they could likely play a decrease back up position. in the journey that they are prepared to attempt this. yet those adult adult males by no potential needed to be an eighth guy kind. A.I. nonetheless has the flexibility to be a minimum of a seventh guy i might want to assert yet he remains going to favor to commence. and that i do purely not imagine he's in solid sufficient structure to be a starter for 80 2 video games. he will play 10 & get damage. They were solid of their time, yet extremely weren't common for being crew gamers. And that hurts their careers later more effective than it does contained in the starting up.

b-ball's muh game man. Say, you ever hear of something called...getting old? They say it happens to the best of em. In fact, it happens to EVERYONE. I've been watching sports for decades, and every single great athlete grew old and faded away (with the possible exception of Michael Jordan and his final years on the Wizards).
Sometimes, they get injured. Sometimes they are in a slump or in a situation where the owners or coaches don't believe in em anymore. That's a bummer, and until they're a free agent and can move on, they're stuck.

Most all-stars lose their talent usually because they don't have a strong supporting cast. People like Kobe and LeBron have their supporting cast that can score.

They never lost their talent, they lost their way.
