    Who has the Best Back to the basket Game in the NBA?
    [kind of a take off from the Decline of the Power Forward game]

    Who do you like to see work in the paint? On the Block?
    Does anyone have a turnaround jumper anymore?

    DMo has the best hookshot in the NBA today. He should be high on this list.

    Cousins, Randolph, and Jefferson are probably the top ones.

    Our own Motiejunas should be considered on of the better low post players. I wouldn't put him in the elite group because he still lack the aggression in demanding the ball.

    What about Guards and Small Forwards?

    Do you like LeBron's post up game?

    Do you think Harden could benefit from learning one?

    Lamarcus Aldridge terrifies me the most, therefore I will say him. He's a little more outside of the paint, but still bullies people.

    This ^^

    He's got the sweetest mid-range fade away that goes in every game against us. He also can drive/spin really quick to the hoop when posted up.

    Also surprised no one mentioned Dirk?

    historically, dirk would be on this list, but this year he hasn't been himself. In fact, he has been pretty bad over the last few months IMO.

    When D-Mo develops toughness and more consistency, he will be high on the list. After the ASB, teams started playing him more physical and he hasn't responded well.

    I thought we were talking about the post? Aldridge's shot chart looks like Allen Iverson's.

    Aldridge is a very good post scorer. But he also has an elite face up midrange shot. So he's not a full-time low post player.

    This is similar to Chris Bosh. Bosh has a very good low post game. But he can also shoot from outside. And he prefers now to move out rather than bang inside.

    Is there a reason no one is saying Melo?

    Couldn't believe all the shots he was missing during his game against us.
    He's officially washed up now.
