Do you follow the NBA much?

I'm wondering, if Pau and KG are NOT elite big men....who are?

I think if you are going to argue that the champion teams do not have great big men then you need to show some examples of teams that DO.

My knee jerk reaction is to say you are totally wrong and talking wtihout very much experience or knowledge about the NBA or basketball in general.


And your knee-jerk reaction is wrong. Watch Garnett play and you'll see a player whose knees are shot, reactions are slow. His best days are WAY behind him. Pau is the single biggest reason why the Lakers are no longer playing. He and Carlos Boozer are the most overrated big men in the league. There are 5 elite post players in the NBA: Howard, Griffin, Bosh, Nowitzki, and Stoudemire. Horford, Love, and Randolph aren't too far away. Everyone else is a clear step below.

assuming any one considers those one dimensional players... proper 'bigs' that is.

Time for me to train bigs and sell em when everyone else who's started training guards now needs bigs. D:

If you had to pick one is it better to have strong big men or strong guards?

Please note that one strong outside player costs the same as two strong inside players ;-)
So train guards and buy big men ;-)



There is a limitation to that: big men are expensive in salary that means you pay on weekly basis what you save at acquisition. This is especially true with developed skill sets.

If you look at well rounded big men like PFs with competitive OD, range & offensive flow you'll see that their prices approach those of SFs. That's all a question of training weeks.

Bosh is still one of the softest big men in NBA. "Come and tea bag me at the rim!" KG is a legend!
