low post offense is officially dead.

They also show that Dwight fukking sucks in the post

I remember dudes on SOHH used to argue with me about his post game

Dwight has one move and it's all power. He can't even do that one move consistently enough. The guy is going to lose all of his athleticism and have to retire early because he literally has no post game to stick around for ages like former great big men. It's somewhat sad to see, but I hate the fakkit so :kobeshrug:

Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph alone are living proof that low-post offense isn't dead.

2 guys out of the league

It's not dead at all, and post efficiency of the greats used to hover around 50%, considering there are no great big men in their primes right now the numbers are fine.

Here are Shaq's prime post up numbers from the playoffs -

You just using this as an excuse for your Spanish power forward shooting 3s

The thread title said "officially dead"..when the offense is still being employed and is very successful, said offense cannot be considered "officially dead."

Moreover, the Rockets, the Hornets, and the Trailblazers still employ low-post offense.

The game has evolved now. You don't need a low post to beast in this league.

Pau misses a ton of shots down there

Post offense doesn't suck in the new era, dudes like Ibakaez just suck at it

Why bang in the post when you can shoot 3's and mid range J's?

 

[William F. Russell]

Pau misses a ton of shots down there

But he's still a force in the paint on offense and defense. He's actually playing like a big man this season.

I haven't seen him play this hard in the low-post since his first season with the Lakers.

Korver averages more ppp from 3 then most big men down low.

Higher percentage shots.

Korver averages more ppp from 3 then most big men down low.

Korver also averages more ppp than Shaq did during his prime, you gonna take Kyle Korver over 2001 playoff Shaq?
