ok, so i kept thinking about the NBA brehs. thinking is good.

:jbhmm:

i kept thinking about if we will ever see a dominant low post center. i ain't talking about dudes who can do everything like karl towns. i'm talking about traditional centers like ewing, drob, shaq and so on.

and my answer is no. the way the game has changed really made these centers have no impact. the last dominant low post center is yao ming. i can't call marc or pau dominant, but they were crafty bigs who could score down low. we will see more of these european crafty centers. cousins is pretty damn good down low but even cousins isn't what i call 100% traditional center where all he ever does is live down low. gobert is all D and hustle. not dominant.

i think it's safe to say we won't ever see a traditional center in this league brehs.

i think the impact of greg oden being a glass was huge.

he was supposed to be the next big thing. let's just say he was as good as he was supposed to be. then he would've been the perennial all star like KD and doing big nikka stuff like dunking and abusing cacs left and right. but he was a glass. just imagine a #1 pick a dominant center destroying cats then we would've seen more centers. but he busted so bad that now nobody wants to be that next big guy. guys like karl towns be like ima do this and that and shoot 3s and ####.

just thinking brehs cause thinking is good. :hubie:

Bynum was a beast :wow:

If the Lakers had a healthy Bynum in 2008 Kobe gets the 2nd 3peat in his career

Theres alotta talented young players 6'10 and up, I think we might be heading towards the next big man era

i legit thought bynum would give kobe 3-4 rings. he was that good.

we gonna see ton of 6ft 10 stretch 4s 6ft 11 stretch 5s, but we ain't gonna see a dominant nikka who dunks all over dudes like shaq/ewing/drob/hakeem did.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Yes, because instead of a rim roller you'll see a team that has 4 shooters around 1 post big.


The reason we haven't seen any in awhile is because most of the post bigs are horrific defensively, and the guys that would be physically too much to deal with on the block are horrible in the post.

Marc Gasol gets no love :francis:

i'm talking about HOF dominance. like hakeem who mesmerized us with variety of low post moves. d rob who had combination of power and finesse. shaq who was biggest nikka who ran like gazelle

If Marc Gasol was in LA he'd have a statue waiting on him the day he retires :francis: people don't watch games I shwear to gawd.

Both the Gasol brother going HoF anyways (mainly because the hoops HoF shyt is easy to get into compared to other sports) but homie gets overlooked constantly.
