NBA huge individual performances

[superjohn]

if athletic/generational freaks like Dwight and Shaq popped up right now they would still be #1, especially in this craptastic draft class in 2024. Hell, forget Shaq because he was a 1 of 1 that we've never seen before, a rim running, rim protecting big with the athleticism of pre-back injury Dwight would have NBA scouts drooling in 2024.

Shaq said he was asked if he could play in today's game and his response was something like you aren't paying attention, I am playing today I'm the Greek Freak. Who do you think was doing all that stuff he learned and uses now.

Prime Shaq would most likely be even more dominant Today than he was in the 90's/early 2000's.

exactly, and instead of 250lb Giannis it would be 290-300lb "Orlando Magic" Shaq running around and bulldozing guys

I was watching this game... this clip was nuts too.

Well when you're a Charlotte Hornets fan there's not too much to get excited about.

Coach feeling how we all feel - KAT's an empty stat

It wasn’t to start, he was simply on fire. Then he tried to go for it and crapped the bed, and the rest of the team kinda just took a front row seat.

Had to be the most gentle I’ve ever seen a player argue for an end of the game foul call I’ve seen. KAT stands true to his nickname.

Embiid with 65 and 17 in 34 minutes and Towns has 44 points on 14-17 fg's at halftime.

It always cracks me up when people say the big man in dead in the NBA.

Centers we’re legitimately dead during that Warriors run where K Love and Draymond Green were running small ball out there in the mid 2010s.

Jokic and Joel revived them from the ashes though and now you need size again if you want any chance to compete.

Warriors had lunch pale big men, Andrew Bogut and Kevin Looney.

Yup, quietly they were a pretty good reason they won. McGee looked unstoppable against the Cavs very small frontcourt when KD was there for the last run.

Here’s a list of All NBA centers from the 2010s on. Some of these names are kind of shocking they made it.

JOAKIM NOAH was All NBA first team one year lmaooo. (S/O Andre for being a third teamer tho)

Bad examples I guess but I guess the overarching point is taken

Luka 73 points on 25-33 fg for a perimeter player. NBA is getting whacky
