    The rise, decline and revival of the Center position and how basketball teams are built kind of reminds me of the running back position in football. Back in the day football offenses were built around a dominant running game and running backs were bigger stars even than some quarterbacks. But thanks to a combination of rule changes that opened up the passing game and teams taking advantage of them as well as many teams now a days deciding to save money on the salary cap by going “running back by committee” instead of paying them huge salaries. And teams like the Denver Broncos and their talent for finding backs in the later rounds of the draft or even undrafted free agents that could crank out 1,000 yards like clockwork. The position seemed to be not as a necessity as it had been in the past. Heck there wasn’t even a single running back taken in the first round of the draft for two straight years this decade. Now it looks like Todd Gurley, Zeke Elliot, Leveon Bell, and Saquan Barkley the tide may be swinging in favor of them again.

And wilt was much more than just power. Not only is he a monster athlete. but he had quick feet, ran the floor like a deer, was an elite passer, great rebounder, had all types of fadeaway, hook shots, etc. Both would excell in any era. EPESCIALLY given that they would grow up in todays game and would be taught how to adjust. and they would be allowed to be alot more physical than in their heavy rule driven era where any amount of physicality would be called an offensive foul, where as today the rules favor the offenseive player.

The fact that Wilt came off a knee injury that was thought to be career ending in the 69 season and averaged 21 point, 18 rebounds, and played 44 minutes a game for all 82 games the very next season just shows what a freak he is.

Nevermind the fact that he was stronger than Shaq, even with a slimmer frame. Russell, on the other hand, if you were to pluck him right out of his era and put him into today's era, I'm not sure he'd be as successful. But he would definitely be a perennial DPOY who could probably be the best running big man in the league.

    Between 2010 and 2015; yes centers were awful, but Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol and Chris Bosh were in my opinion very good at the center position in that time period. The statistical category you gave about rebounds is a little bit misleading because Marc Gasol and Bosh were not high volume rebounders. Zach Randolph was the main rebounder for Memphis and rebounding wasn't the identity of the Miami Heat (who were known at the time for fading into transition defence immediately in most situations and not even going for O boards).

As well as being quick enough to guard the perimeter. Transition/fast break game.... I don’t even need to say anything. So ya, basically Giannis checks off all those.

    The main reason why the golden age of big men wasn’t as successful as past eras was because of one man. Michael Jordan changed the paradigm of dynastic teams. He became the first perimeter player to dominate the nba in chips and statistics without a dominant front court/great big man.
    The rise of MJ also led to the fruitless search for “the next MJ” and rule changes to allow perimeter players to thrive offensively. MJ changed how centers were looked at as the dominant back bone of any dynastic team. I know LOW went in on this slightly but I wanted elaborate on that a little more.

    Top 5 centers in the league
    1 Jokic top 5 offensive player in the league. His skill set is so unique and valuable and he leads the 3rd best team in the West with no other all stars
    2 Embiid (most dominant center in the league, his offensive and defensive game are truly spectacular)
    3 Rudy Gobert (best defender in the league)
    4 KAT (Offensive superstar, disappointing defensively)
    5 Al Horford (he fits so perfectly into any offensive or defensive system. Also, there is something to be said about his ability to shut down embiid)
