The Suns of the mid 2000s back then should have given people more hints of the future.

there are lots of good big men in the NBA

if anthony davis were born in the 70s, he'd be dominating the post

luckily, he was born decades later and is playing a more efficient brand of basketball

big men are roll men, jump shooters, and rim protectors

They score from the pick and roll and transition. Two things that easily get shut down in a 7 game series.

That doesn't explain Drummond, DeAndre, AD, Horford, Aldridge, KAT, etc.

There are many solid big men(Draymond, Horford etc). Davis, Blake and Cousins are the only ones who are very good and maybe Davis will be great someday. But they are vastly inferior to Dirk, KG and Duncan from 10 years ago or Shaq, Robinson and Malone from 20 years ago.

The elite big prospects who could of been as good as Dirk, Duncan, Shaq, Malone etc busting is the reason for the NBA being the way it is now.

anthony davis is not "vastly inferior" to this lot

KAT will be right on that same level as AD

Duncan is the GOAT so there is that

you've severely overrated dirk

AD/KAT are the evolution of KG

is that why ben wallace got abused in international play?

anytime he had to leave the rim area he was abused

he was the primary reason we were embarrassed in the 2002 FIBA world championships

Neither of those things get "shut down". What a silly statement.

lol Yeah maybe in another 5 years but right now he's not even clearly better than Cousins or Blake.

They are the evolution of Celtics KG. They aren't anything even remotely close to prime KG.
