As the Warriors go their way, the big men multiply
Among the major fallacies of our time, “The big man is dead” ranks right near the top. He is very much alive in the NBA. You might as well call him the future — as long as you realize it’s a two-sided future.
The Warriors, with a million centers but really none, are expected to reign for at least two or three more years. Teams envy the Golden State mold, but they have to realize something: Golden State has three of the greatest shooters in NBA history. That’s never happened before, and it almost certainly won’t happen again. Try some other blueprint or be gone.
