Almost every championship team had a stellar or, at the very least, a serviceable center. Players like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Robinson, and Shaquille O’Neal, among others, led their teams to titles. This goes back to the fundamental idea that basketball is a game of inches. Height is might in this sport, and that is why taller and bigger players have a natural advantage over their smaller counterparts. Centers, being the biggest guys on the floor, are born to dominate basketball and lead their team to championships. That was the norm until the middle of the 2010s. But then, the NBA went through a massive transformation that saw guards and three-point-shooting teams dominating the league. This metamorphosis was sparked by the rise of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, with Stephen Curry leading the way for them. His three-point shooting changed the game, allowing guards to dominate without being big or athletic. The Warriors’ small-ball style of putting the 6’6” Draymond Green at center also worked, allowing this team to win multiple championships. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
