Report: Anthony Davis still doesn't want to play Center after Cousins' injury

[Kami]

I don't follow the NBA as much these days, but do most teams still runs an offense that plays with a true 5 t/o most of the game?

yes. it doesnt matter if you stopped following ten years ago you should know skilled bigs avoid playing the 4. where duncan /kg/dirk play? all of them should have been centers but they avoided it.

it continued with this generation of bigs.

 

[Kami]

Don’t understand why he doesn’t want to play the 5 it makes no sense

same reason duncan avoided it or dirk..aldrige..bosh. Most brutes play the 5 its more physical.

 

[Controversy]

why would your pg play the 4? lol smh.

all skilled bigs prefer playing the 4.

Draymond plays PG & defends 4's

We need him to play the 4 bc that's the position he's best equipped to defend

Gotta stop making excuses for a man that doesn't want to play w lick of def

Duncan played the 5 from 2003 to 2016

 

[Bigblackted4]

Lake show lmao

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

LBJ doesn't want to play the 4

Brow doesn't want to play the 5

Weak-minded individuals who want to just beat up on smaller players

Yeah Michael Jordan is weak-minded because he wanted to play SG instead of SF because he had a size advantage over smaller guards.

Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett are both weak-minded because they wanted to play PF instead of C.

Great logic breh.

KG was under 230 most of his career

Duncan played C 70% of his career

You sound smart to a dumb nikka...FOH

Back in the 90's & 00's...5's were 250 lbs min.

Gasol was taller than Bynum but why do you think Bynum defended the 5's & Gasol defended 4's when they were on the court together?

Add to that KG came into the league as a SF...would you want a 7'1 225 lb big defending a 5 or the guy that's 6'11 250? Add to that KG could literally switch 1-5

Stop making excuses for these non-competitive fakkits & I'm a lifelong Laker fan

Can you imagine Kobe saying I won't defend MJ bc I'm really a lead G & I'll defend BJ Armstrong instead???

Y'all young nikkas hella retarded

False equivalence

There's a bigger gap in responsibility between the 4 n 5 than 1 n 2

Brow would be a 4 in the 90's and 00's...in the modern nba, he's a C

Bron should damn sure be defending 4's being 6'9 270 with a 7'2 wingspan but he'd rather defend wings who aren't offensive threats

Bron bigger than Blake Griffin but wanna defend Stanley Johnson???

Duncan played the 5 from 2003 to 2016

From 2003 to 2006 the Spurs had either David Robinson Rasho or Nazr Muhammad starting at center. 2007 and 2008 they had Oberto and Elson. 09-12 Duncan was the center for the most part with them having Blair and McDyess.13-14 it was Splitter so he was back at power forward and his last two years he was the man in the middle again.

 

[Greenhornet]

Lebron can play the 5

Duncan was primarily defending Centers since 2003 (Duncan's retirement). All the guys you named played limited mins. Pop agrees with me.

Gregg Popovich Once Said Tim Duncan Is A Center, Not A Power Forward
