.."small forward," "power forward" and "center?"


The best player in the league, and of this generation,
is a power forward-sized guy who can guard five positions and
play four on offense during the span of a quarter.

3 of the best teams in the league this year have scoring
guards who happen to be short and play the "point." To
put this in perspective, Indiana's (one of the league's very
best teams) "point guard" is the third or fourth
best passer in his starting lineup.

San Antonio's best player ever is a guy who nobody can
seem to decide is a career power forward or center;
he's either the best "power forwards" ever by a mile, or
among the 6 or 7 best centers. But again: nobody seems
to be able to fucking tell.

There are, like, 3 actual "centers" in the fucking league
at all.

The league's best scorer is a 6'11 "small forward" with
a 7+ foot wingspan.

Several of the league's best perimeter shooters are
guys 6'10 and ABOVE.

The NBA'S POSITION CATEGORIES have been outdated and POINTLESS
for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time
but we use them for cultural reasons, and their use doesn't
limit our understanding or ability to discuss the game.

Right?


See-

^That took 2 minutes, guys.

Its not that difficult. If you have a problem with me, that's
fine, but you're making asses of yourselves.

I challenge ONE of you to be like: "Okay, cool, I see your point,
my bad."

None of you will, because I called you a pussy for crying
when your turtle died as a little boy in a post you made
about it 5 years ago.

Ligthen up. Sorry I got on your nerves at one point.


Just get down and gesture like you're licking one of my
balls, and all is forgiven.



Sincerely,
