People always say best era for big men tell me why were Patrick, Karl, David, the opposite of dominant come playoff time.

It's really between the 70's and 90's in terms of big men.

70's had depth overall for each team and 90's had more top heavy superstar centers.

Barkley was really dominant too.

And off course, Duncan won his first title in 99.

They met better teams and players i.e. Jordan, Hakeem.

I though OP included Barkley in his stupid list. NVM.

Didn't include Duncan because he broke out at the end of the '90's.

2nd tier bigs from the 90's like Brad Daugherty and Rick Smits would wreck shop on modern front-courts.

You do know that they were All-Stars, right?

Also, the myth that there are no quality bigs today needs to die. Sure, they are not Shaq's and Hakeem's, but there are several good big men.

Pekovic, Cousins, Dwight Howard, old ass Duncan, and Noah. Basically the 90s centers would destroy today's centers. It's no myth, today's centers are garbage compared to past eras. 70s Rockets era Elvin Hayes would body most of these bums today.

This. He should be looking at his massive dick being flopped all the way up to the numbers on his jersey like the rest of us.

Isn't the current "2nd best player in the league's" lanky ass an underwhelming playoff performer?

Yep. And still 2nd tier in the 90's.
