today's big men have the best post work I have ever seen

[72-10]

On the whole, it's about as good as that displayed by any of those GOAT centers of the '90s. So much for the "LCL"

Only response this trash deserves.

Yeah they can shoot outside 5ft, quite nice. A rare talent 90s bigs possessed

They barely show it though and for good reason. It's just too easy to straight snatch the ball out of the hands of someone trying to post today. Fake a double to suspend the dribble then actually double to take the ball away.

Today’s big men would be students of the dream if he decided to teach them proper footwork which they currently don’t have as a result of it not being taught due to how the rules have changed.

That's not true at all

Dream learned basketball from a pamphlet tucked in the seat in front of him on his flight over from Nigeria. He's got diddly squat to teach.

Is LelBron a big ? He alone is easily better than any big from the 90s post-move wise. Variety is unparalleled

And in today's game it can break an entire team's defense by having a dominant post player who has the ability to demand a double team every single play or else automatic bucket because on that double team just dash it out to the four 3pt snipers and let them swing/jack it up so you can rebound.

Sadly no player like that exists today, unlike the 90s.

LOL here are some highlights of 38 y/o Tim Duncan in his last good season(all-star that year) still getting ANYTHING he wanted in the post:

You want to know how he could still do it?!? Because he was a TRULY great back to the basket player (the last of his kind drafted in 97') and he mastered the nuances of that aspect of the game, an art that has been completely lost by today's dumb as a rock soft as tissue paper 7 footers who prefer to stand at the 3 point line instead of banging down low for 35+ minutes and the stupid offensive systems that enable them!

The Spurs were also a team that ran their offense through Tim Duncan's post up and had not yet fallen in love with excessive 3 point shooting (only took 23 a game in 2015 and made just 8) and committed their system to it as it got them 5 titles in 15 years.

A prime Tim Duncan, Shaq, Olajuwon, Robinson, Moses, Mourning, Ewing or hell even old Sabonis would absolutely destroy today's batch of dimwits in Embiid, Towns, Porzingis, Jokic or Giannis or whichever soft low post allergic supposed "big man" you throw at them and COMPLETELY change the landscape of what you do on offense. Today's bigs do not have the consistent mastery of the post to build systems around them.

Like Shaq said in an interview, "shooting 3's and doing cross overs means nothing when I got 3 fouls on your ass before the second quarter and your legs are shot before halftime from the pounding down low"!!!
