It's pretty sad watching these big men. They are unable to take care of these smaller players because teams have pretty much abandoned the post play. Davis seemed to have this best opportunities on lobs and fast breaks but not much success on abusing the smaller players in the post. Don't tell me Shaq, Hakeem, Robinson, and Yao wouldn't be able to have their way with these smaller players and force the opposing team to match up.
The rules changed, not just the style of play. But honestly. I think prime Shaq could drop 80 on us while fouling out half our team. He knew how to get DEEP post positioning.
Rules changed and did some what weaken The post game. It was getting difficult to get the ball into the post with one guy behind you and one guy sitting in your lap. Add the fact young players just don't want to learn it anymore. You still see big guards use it but there just isn't enough talent out there anymore to center your team around it. Flopping has really hurt the progress to.
