Ron Artest

Elton Brand

What's common among all of them are they were all born in 1978, 1979, or 1980 (I'm not sure about some others though). Usually, the prime years are when you are 28-30 years old when you have the right mix of athleticism and experience.  

Answer 3

Lebron Kobe Wade Yao Gasol Stoudemire Carmelo

Answer 4

Kobe is the obvious one. Also, I think Lamar Odom is in his prime. He shot better than 50% last season.

Manu Ginobili and Hedo Turkoglu also.

Answer 11

To me, a player in his prime is someone who is typically in his mid to late twenties and sometimes early 30's and has played in the league for a good number of years (at least 5 full seasons).  With that said, there are only a few in their prime and many soon to be in their prime

Prime:  D-Wade, G-Arenas, Kobe, T-Parker, Amare Stoudemire, Yao, Pierce, Michael Redd, Boozer...more

Up and coming:  D-Howard, CP3, Brandon Roy, Bron Bron, Melo, Iguodala, D-Williams, Bosh

Soon to be Over the Hill:  T-Mac, VC, Nash, Duncan, J-Kidd, and maybe AI
