This has led to a massive transformation in the different positions in the NBA. To be specific, the big man role has been through several stages of evolution, especially in the more modern era of the NBA, where players now have to be more skilled and versatile. In the past, big men had specific roles. Centers needed to be as close to the basket as possible because of their height. They post up close to the basket to score or wait for the guards to hand them the ball under the rim. On defense, they are known to block shots and grab rebounds. On the other hand, power forwards tend to have roles similar to centers but are also known for hitting midrange jumpers because they mostly have to play fronting the basket. But the game has changed in such a way that the big man position also had to change. Since the 2010s, the league has seen a massive revolution where guards and three-point scorers became the most important players in the NBA. That is why teams employed players who were fast and skilled enough to keep up with the pace of the game, and to ensure perimeter players would not abuse slower players. This has led to the virtual disappearance of the traditional big men, players known for being methodical scorers but slower athletes. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
