      exactly. big men were taught and trained to be physical and use their body in the 90s-10s, since the perimeter game wasn't as prevalent as it is now, they were the best as they were the biggest and strongest people on the court. as 3 points and iso game evolved, big men were left behind, the last 15 years has just been them adjusting their game to catch up, and they finally have. league is in wraps, big men are back.

In this video itself, he suggesting these 3 bigs are perhaps the 3 best of all-time but ignoring that stats are going crazy because the game changed. If 3 of the highest PERs are in on season, it likely means the game has changed that it's easier for players to rack up statistics. He isn't adjusting for how the game is played.

      This Channel has so much recency bias and seems ignôránt of important details. “15 years ago the teams started going with guards”. There were some major rule changes starting in 2004 that opened the game and made it harder for a post only big man. Then around 2014 the nba figured out the 3 was very important so it gave even more value to small ball. Stats the past decade are so padded because the nba removed hand checking and allowed less contact by defensive players. Offensive plays also no revolve around single players much more - That’s why right now there are 2 players at 30pts 11reb 4ast, another at 27pts 13reb 8 ast and guards and SF at 25-30pts 7-10 ast. Westbrook was averaging a triple double for several years and Harden was a 30pts 10ast 8 reb machine. This is a a reflection of rule changes that made offense easier.

But to see the amount of work and improvement he has put into the game is incredible. Glad he evolved and improved the way he has.

      I think this year was a little different because they’ve had 2.5 season in like 1.75 years, so every player is playing to hard and getting injured, so they have to miss more games or take games off to rest. This means the non superstars get more minutes, and also make the injury list because they are playing harder than usual. In a few years, they will get healthier, or the NBA will lower the regular season games

    Considering that these three men are all international players, I hypothesize that the international talent pool is at the tipping point of matching the US. These guys, along with Doncic and many others are just the first wave of phenomenal players coming from overseas that show that the game has grown to the point that it is not the “big man being back”. The dominant big man highlighted in Jimmy’s video is actually the international player who has the measurables to have NBA draft priority. With today’s improved player development and talent identification more players at every position will challenge the US players in the NBA and in international competition like last years Olympic tournament. This is a wonderful video highlighting some of the best international prospects who have developed into MVP candidates/laureates, and soon we will recognize that these men were not the shepherds of a resurgence of the post playmaker but rather the inception of the truly international game of basketball. Thanks Jimmy!

    Back when the NBA didn't have as much various skills the big men dominated because they were big and could rise up and score more easily over the smaller player. But then as the game progressed guards could easily pick up better handling and shooting to put their game far above the rest of the players. Now in today's game the few big men who are capable of adapting and adopting the skills of capable guards, shooters, and all around scoring/defending, the Big men have the clear advantage since they have the skills of elite-level guards with the dominant size of a 7 footer.

What he means is you aren't going to see KD driving hard as a roller on a pick and roll, or Lebron sitting on the block while his guard sets up an offense. Lebron will set up an offense like a point guard and Kevin Durant looks to get open off of off ball screens and Isoing on the perimeter.

    Hot take: ball possession/touches and area’s where players receive the ball influences PER ratings. Doncic had 10 more touches a game than Embiid and probably farther away from the rim, which makes it more difficult to have a high PER. Also the amount of touches makes it harder to have a high PER.

      Yes, it has an influence, but even then, they didn't just have the highest PER's this season, they had 3 of the top 10 PER's in NBA history. There have been plenty of dominant big men who had a similar amount of touches and shot selections, and none of them have even come close to the PER's of these 3. Regardless of the amount of touches, this feat is revolutionary.

    I like that you include Barkley as a big man. Even though most people agree he was a shade under 6'5, he played the game like a true big.

      Just goes to show you how dominant Charles Barkley was athletically.
      Closest modern day comparison is Zion. Barkley was lucky to have Moses Malone in his ear about being too fucking fat and him being mature enough to listen to that advice.
      With Zion we've seen what happens when that advice is ignored.

      Chicken is a category 1 carcinogen just as if not more unhealthy than beef believe it or not and they're abused and stuffed full of growth hormones. Save your body/mind some grief.

    It's honestly refreshing. And they all have a different style too! Got tired of guards that run the entire offense with their iso game, there's too many of them now! Curry is the most interesting guard because he is an off-ball scorer, not a dribble-dribble-dribble iso guy.

    I’m not even a basketball fan and I love your videos so much. The pacing, the narration, the editing. You are able to construct a truly engaging short film for fans and non-fans alike. Great work!

    These new big men have to be better than ever they gotta have those guard skills while still being big it’s honestly one of the most beautiful things in sports watching a big man shoot the 3, pass the ball “no look” drive the lane do a sweet big man euro then dunk it with one hand
