After Shaq and the mid-2000s the league really moved out into a perimeter game, with the best players being guards (Kobe, Steph, Harden, Westbrook, Wade) and then large wings (LeBron, Kawhi, Tatum).
Now however it seems we’re in a new age of modern big men who rule the league again: Jokic, Embiid and even Giannis, AD and Wemby who do not play center technically would absolutely be in that group as true 7+ footers.
Will we see another arms race for size and will teams need a dominant big man to win in the modern NBA, similar to the 80’s and 90’s?
Ah yes, known winners Gilbert Arenas and Brandon Jennings opining on what mindset you need to be a winner.
