Watching the league today I couldn't help but notice that we're missing the highlight reel PF that posterizes everyone in their path. The last of the old gawds retired in Amare, and there has been a void left in his wake, where is the PF that just bangs on 3 people?

These dudes all occupied the league at the same time -

Kenyon Ma..Ma...Maaaa....Maarrttt......Martin


Antonio McDyess



Stromile Swift



Amare Stoudemire


They all followed in the footsteps of Larry Nance, Darryl Dawkins and Shawn Kemp.

We're getting Centers back in the league, but the super aggressive 6'10" PF seems to have vanished. Who are the young ones, Marques Chris? Larry Nance and Richaun Holmes (He's probably the closest to the elders)? With how centered around Pick and roll the game has become I would have thought we'd see more guys excelling at the fine art of posterizing people.

They all bein "stretch" 4s takin 3 ptrs

Chriss has the chance. He has the hops and has the dog in em. Just needs a bit more exp. He'll get a few posters before the year is up.

Maybe Chriss a few years from now.


Having watched him and Amare as rookies, he's nowhere near STAT when it comes to absorbing contact.


Amare was dirt strong @ 19/20.


He'd run through defenders with ease.Had some of the strongest hands I'd ever seen.


Marquese turns into a newborn Deer at the slightest form of contact



Young Amare digging in Elton Brand's chest.

Marquese is missing that right now.Brand would've chest bumped Marquese and had him crashing into Billy Crystal
