The future of center play in the NBA

(09-18-2020, 12:52 PM)KillerLeft Wrote: @"ItsGoTime" so you're telling me that Bill Russell could FACE THE BASKET, from 20 feet away, allowing him full view of the entire court, and that the defense would view him as a threat to shoot it or drive it from there, and that they couldn't sag off into the paint?

I can take your word for everything else, but I feel like if that were the case, he'd be remembered much differently as an offensive player.
He was a thinking man's offensive player, crafty and like DFS1998 said athletic as all get out, ahead of his time (Wilt was just as athletic and dominant, he just wasn't as crafty and smart as Bill was, probably from being so cocky/confident). Bill, with today's upbringing would have come out of College as a top 5 pick and made the teams that picked ahead of him rue the day much like those teams that passed on Luka.
