Kyrie Irving has made headlines for a lot of reasons over the past year, but in the last few weeks is where he's looked closest to making the decision to never play basketball again.

At times, players that showed flashes of stardom the year before end up winning, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2017 and Julius Randle in 2021.

Tom Brady seems to be getting better with age, but the reality is that he's finally on a team that surrounds him with the appropriate talent fitting for someone of his ability. He no longer has to throw 5'9" receivers who were ex-quarterbacks open. The Tampa Buccaneers are giving him the assets he deserves, evident by last season's super bowl win...
With the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar reaching the end of their primes, it seems like the game is in better hands than ever. It begs the question, who are the best young players, and rather than list the likes of Haaland and Mbappe, let's look at some of the best 18-year-olds in the game.
