See, it's threads like this one that made me EXTREMELY hesitant to play in our All-Time Fantasy Draft, LOL...
Players like Shaq, Hakeem, Kareem - would dominate in TODAY's NBA, TOMORROW's NBA, the NBA in the year 4000....
This generational nonsense is simply crazy.
I don't think anyone disagrees with that lol, not even me. What I was saying is that some players would likely be less great, but still remain as great players.
I think they would still be dominant...
Hakeem would be like Greek Freak but twice as better defensively...but with an elite passing game, better post moves and a reliable J....he'd be faster than Greek Freak, too...quicker...
Imagine Greek Freak on overdrive = Hakeem Olajuwon.
I personally blame none other than Shaquille O'Neal (pointing fingers at YOU, Shaq) - dude was so great he practically SCARED upcoming Bigs out of the post, LOL..............NBA is still suffering from his after shocks 10 years later....still feeling 3.0, 4.0 aftershocks....Bigs nowadays want to shoot threes......
LOOK - nothing wrong with expanding your game but post play is nearly non-existent in the NBA today...God Bless Joel Embiid I hope he holds it down.
I absolutely LOVE Joel Embiid's game AND his personality. Truly old-school Big.
