    First of all, that's not "all" you said.

    So, you only wrote the first 1/3 of the post above? B/c "all" you remembered saying was the first 1/3 evidently. Unfortunately, both in how you misremembered - like our boy O.M.G. It's Raaaaaager - and in your jump to conclusions mat glory - you're wrong.

    There's a heck of a lot more in there, most of which can be deemed inflammatory and dismissive of Harden's accomplishments this year, than "all" you misremembered saying earlier (which we've now established).

    You may have intended to just come in here and rail with "bigs don't boxout anymore." But you didn't stop there. You went to the nth derivative of that argument, and used the jump to conclusions mat quite enviably. Even going so far as to call out "fundamentals.." all-inclusive. Full-stop.

    This is a rockets fan forum. Coming in here and acting aloof as to how you - intentionally or not - crapped on Harden's accomplishments and then attempting to strawman my very basic, simple, interjection/correction is just reaching reaching reaching.

    Go for it stretch. I prefer substance to my takes, I'll let you stay in charge of the heat.

    Incidentally, did guards boxout at the 3-pt line 20 yrs ago? No? Right. They didn't. How you would then deem present day bigs not boxing out at the 3-pt line as supportive of a deterioration of fundamentals argument (or even a lack of boxing out) is well....uh....streeeeeeeeeetch away big guy.

    Explain this

    Top 40 Rebounders in the NBA:
    • Top 6 are Centers
    • Top 10 are Centers or PFs
    • 19 of 40 are Centers
    • 34 of 40 are Centers or PFs
    • Of the reaining 6
      • Westbrook and Harden
      • Lebron James
      • Kevin Durant 6'11
      • Giannis 6'11
      • Batum
    I simply don't see little guys getting rebounds except Harden and WB
