Durant, hes only 1 inch shorter so he should be considered "big"
1

He's a small forward/shooting guard. All they have in common is size
Posted on 2/6/15 at 11:08 pm to Lester Earl
I think hes more of a sf/pf

he didnt really guard AD at any point tonight

I've been sitting here for an hour thinking about it long and hard.
In short, I would have to say he is probably the most coordinated big man I've ever seen. His fluidity with the ball is just unreal.

What if the Rockets and Pels met in the 1st round?

I didnt watch the game, but im guessing thats because theres better defenders at the low post position than him.

I would expect a badass Thunderdome thread.

im guessing because he plays SF, Ibaka plays PF, and Adams/Perkins plays C

considering the GOAT FT shooter did it granny style? not really.
How does that make sense? Why would a granny shot mean coordination isn't used?

According to basketballreferencehe played about a quarter of his time on the court the past 3 seasons at pf. Yup sf/pf

b/c the physics of it make it far less important.

It is kind of silly to exclude quasi wing players.
AD is the most coordinated big man in nba history. But I'm excluding all the bigs like dirk, Durant, and Lebron who are so coordinated that they can play on the wing.
ETA: and I really don't know what the answer is. Maybe it's AD. But asking the question and then excluding the potential answers is weird

Honestly ADs coordination is on par with those guys.
I excluded them because it's easier for them to showcase it considering what they are asked to do. Hard for some people to see the difference

I didn't exclude potential answers cause those guys aren't true post players. You're the only one that can't get it

Lamar Odom is the most coordinated "big" I've seen.
AD hasn't refined his game with his back to the basket so I can't say he's more coordinated than Olajuwon or Duncan.
Honestly he still looks awkward to me, I'm not knocking his skills or ability, but when I watch him play smooth is not the first thing that comes to mind

I think AD Is so good that he could end up as the best player in NBA history. That's how good I think he COULD be. And I think he's the MVP right now... No question.
He is already the best big man and I think he can get durant-like skills on the perimeter if he expands his game.
But it is worth mentioning that Ralph Sampson pre- injury could have been the most skilled big ever... So far. Or maybe wilt.

Those guys couldn't hit FTs, which DQ's them.
AD isn't smooth? F minus.
