Interesting Thought

Or maybe not, since I'm thinking primarily about the NBA. But there's a lot of angst here about whether or not Pitt has a "true center." I know college =/= NBA, but I was struck today over the fact that the best lineup in the NBA features a 6'7" center.

Just fun watching sports evolve. I wonder if we'll ever see a swing back to back-to-the-basket centers dominating the game.

Magic Johnson was a 6'9" Point Guard. He dominated. Soon....all PG's will be 6 8"-6' 10" tall. 30 some years later....still waiting for this to happen.

Weird how some things like that aren't trends but just outliers.

Pitts best center since Charles Smith was 6'5" one DBlair

That's fair. But I think this shift towards small ball is more than just a fad. The best Heat teams were ones where they were playing small, too.
