Kareem, Olajuwon, McHale, Duncan..

Do you believe these type of players are gone forever or will we eventually see more in the NBA? Four of the most fundamental players to ever play the game and dominate from the post. Back to the basket, shakes, Hook shots, up and under, drop step, fall aways you name it! High percentage, chess over checkers style basketball that’s like poetry motion. I’m all for three pointers but it sucks not seeing these bigger kids not understand how to use their length and size. Nowadays all we get are 6’10 kids wanting to shoot contested threes and be point guards. There are a few that can do it but if these damn AAU circuits and high schools get these kids to realize their potential and strengths instead of being flashy, we’d have more quality players. Embiid and Jokic are two good examples of blue collar post players that know where their bread and butter is. Occasionally they take the outside shot which is fine but typically they’re on the low block dominating a 1 on 1 situation or sucking in the defense to create for their teammates.
