How many points would Hakeem get then? He'd be unstoppable in today's spread out floor. They would have to double team him on every possession. Basically every scoring center of the past would be crazy dominant in today's game.

@mrfatuchi 27 дней назад

@@joshliggins-lk8gj Have you even watched any of the big men of the past? Only Shaq didnt have mid range shot, everyone else did all the way to Wilt.

@mrfatuchi 27 дней назад

@@joshuaalvey I said points. Inside moves? So you havent watched Hakeem, Ewing or Robinson? They all had post moves and footwork and they all had killer mid range. Jokic moves alot slower than these guys too. The fact is Jokic is the only scoring center of today and he is dominating. Thats not coincidence because there more lanes to the basket and there is less big men in the league. As I said they would have to be doubled constantly and that would open their passing also. Its a very different game and looking back now, it was harder for centers before which is contrary to the narrative that todays game is suited more for guards and wings. Jokic shows its opposite. And most of the time Denver does nothing special, they just throw him the ball down in the post.

'We need to give him credit' she says. You don't say, but a little too late. You & the panel should of given him credit after game 4 rather than dunking on Rudy Gobert. But alas, Stephen A still won't miss an opportunity to mention Rudy in his opening statement. Even with Nikola Jokic's name in the title, you're still discussing about Minnesota & Rudy Gobert. Give this man a segment; discuss his season up to date, how he has been looking this post season & what he can do to become back to back champion. Hire me ESPN, I'll do better than your current writers.
