It has become fairly obvious to anyone who has been following basketball for more than the past five years that there has been a change in the style of the game.
In the 1990s, the list of NBA superstars was full of dominant post-playing big men like Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, and David Robinson.
The 2000s saw a slight changing of the guard, where more superstars played shooting guard and small forward, although those players still needed the likes of Shaquille O’Neal to be the most important piece of the championship puzzle.
Currently, we are seeing a complete overhaul in the way teams play, where guys like Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard, and Klay Thompson are doing the most impressive thing on the court: efficiently knocking down threes.
