Uhh, yes you can. You can go anywhere on the court you want. The ONLY illegal defensive rule now is 3 seconds in the lane.

They don't realize it because they are relatively new posters who haven't lived through your three previous versions of this same thread.

I was thinking the same thing when I read some quotes from Oscar Robertson about coaches not knowing how coach defense these days.
I think the problem is he doesn't understand defensive rules in today's NBA.

Coaches and players were still trying to figure out how to play within the new rules. It took a while for everything to balance

The more spread offenses were a result of the "pack the paint" defense popularized by Tom Thibodeau.

Also post offense is one of the many areas where college basketball and obviously AAU ball doesn't help big men.
Post offense has to be learned, especially the footwork. Combined with the "pack the paint" defenses, why would anyone but the most talented bigs spend all their time on the blocks. That said, there are a lot of young bigs in the game today that have the potential to be deadly post players. It won't mean these guys will get 30-35 post touches each game like those dominant bigs of yesterday, but it does mean that those guys can still dominate games for stretches just with post play.
