low post offense is officially dead.

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Nah, b....Al Jefferson is the truth.

Charlotte's FINALLY starting to surround him with talent. And Kemba Walker (before getting hurt) was thriving playing alongside him.

In December, Big Al was out and the team ran so much better. Kemba got his and the offense did more than just dump it to Big Al. Biyombo is miles ahead of Big Al on defense too.

He's really the Carmelo Anthony of big men and his nice stats don't tell the entire story.

Dead is way to strong of an adjective. There's a drop in talent and the post just isn't stressed like it was in yesteryear.

I would like to see it make a super strong comeback tho

Hmm...

Why don't they just lump Melo and Big Al together and let the fukkery ensue

It will make a comeback, the NBA's infatuation with 3 point shooting is going to give someone great space to operate.

Just in the last two years we're getting Embiid and Okafor, Europe has been on some Memph Bleek shyt too, they're just 1 hit away, somebody is going to come from over there that is ridiculous.

I think a quick fix to bring back the prominence of the post game is to move the 3 point line out further or institute a 4 point line... sound like some Jeff Van Gundy shyt, I know, but I strongly believe there are many guys in this league that have good post games (or potential to have good post games), but the defense schemes that teams are employing are crowding up the lanes, as a result of no illegal defense/allowed zone.

 

[The_Third_Man]

it's already breh it's dead we can admit it. Next great 7ft+ big man is going to be known for shooting 3s

Okafor and Ayton don't shoot threes

 

[AAKing23]

Al Jefferson is a god damn black hole.

Just peeped it That nikka shooting everytime

 

[CarltonJunior]

boogie


edit: Just read the topic. It's DISGUSTING that none of you nikkas mentioned Boogie like he ain't the only dominant post big in the league this nikka looking like a goddamn shaq/cwebb hybrid out here every game and y'all not gon pay respects?

They don't need to move the 3 line out, eventually one of these 7 footers is going to have the entire package. Look at it like this, Al Jefferson is a beast in the post and is massively undersized to be playing the 5, he's no taller than Kevin Love -

Look at Gobert, and just think about what happens when someone his size has Al Jefferson's skillset

It's an eventuality, somebody that height with athleticism is going to come along soon and just be way too much. People are gonna go from saying the post is dead, to wondering when he'll be a FA

Legitimate 7 footers with post games are bound to happen, I think Embiid could be the golden child.

embiid would be lucky to have a nba careet at this point, I can't wait until the next dirks come

If the next Dirk comes into the league at the same time as the next great post big, well you already know what happens with that equation since Timmy Decades bounced yall last year


Your disrespect for the low post game is fade worthy, am I gonna have to travel upstate and lay hands on you? You should be used to a downstate nikka handing you an L, since that's what almost always happens in the state tourneys too
