    Default why are the only teams left being led by perimeter stars

    warriors - Poole, curry, klay

    mavs - luka, Brunson

    heat - Butler, Herro

    boston - Tatum, Brown


    where's giannis, embiid, jokic, AD, Gobert, Towns, LeCenter James?

    do the 4 teams left even have a big man lol. other than Bam who else even really plays the position.


    so can we get rid of this whole big man mvp trend already. enough already

    Guards\Wings are just more valuable. They reach an offensive peak\ceiling that bigs simply can not reach.

    They also can ignore bigs posting up whenever they want hahahah so the guard\wing always have control in this era. Nobody catches it in the low post anymore unless it's a freethrow dirk type post up, people have learned that's just not the most efficient way to play.

    I think that has a lot to do with why percentages were down in the 2000s. People think it's just wayyy better defense but in reality it's just shaq\duncan type guys posting up and thus creating easier offense to defend.

    Guards\Wings > Bigs

    especially wings, i personally have a hard on for two way wings because they bring much better offense then bigs while also still having elite defense (tatum or kawhi). The guard can be valuable if he's built like Luka. But it's hard being a little 6 foot guy even if you're extremely talented like ringless paul\nash

    It has more to with the rules benefiting perimeter players than anything else.

    Because only like 6 teams of 30 are led by bigs and 2 of those 6 still play the 3. Numbers game.

    I can only think of 3 legit elite big men in the league. Embiid, Jokic, & Giannis.

    Embiid is constantly injured, Jokic doesn't have the teammates & Giannis just won a title last year.

    what does elite mean. i say it means allstar level. nurkic and sabonis would easily be allstars if centers weren't basically obsolete. capela would be amare stoudemire today with the right system


    this is making my point for me. the best bigs don't get any opportunities because teams know they're useless regardless of their talent
