The Lore of the Stretch-Four, a Chronicle of Daryl Morey's Power Forwards

The Houston Rockets finally have some 4s to be proud of.

Since the Harden Era began in the 2012-13 season, the Houston Rockets have run through power forwards like a the Texas Rangers ran through pitchers like season. Since the threes-dunks-FT's philosophy has picked up steam, the team and its fans have always been gushing over the possibility of a stretch-4; a big man with range for days who rebounds and defends the post.

This has been a daydream from Day One. Simply put, that man just doesn't exist (excluding Kevin Love, Dirk Nowitzki and Serge Ibaka, who aren't going anywhere).
