If you want to argue that finding a big man like that is more difficult than finding an elite wing then I agree but if you're arguing that the game has changed to the point where a guy like prime Duncan or Olajuwon wouldn't dominate and be arguably the best player in the league, then you're 100% wrong.
Davis could become something like that, Garnett was that, Duncan obviously.
18ppg, 9rpg and DPOY is more than a complimentary piece.
Kobe was the best player in the league for a while so him getting an MVP isn't surprising. But what does that have to do with Garnett being a "complimentary piece"?
It's cyclical. There are times when wings dominate and other times when guards and then big men. Centers dominated the 70's, Forwards the 80's, guards early 90's and them big men til Kobe and then Lebron took over.
I quite clearly said that it's easier to find elite wings than bigs but that you're wrong if you think a guy like Duncan and Olajuwon wouldn't absolutely dominate right now and be arguably the best player in the league. I don't know if you're intentionally being dense or if this just isn't clicking for you but it seems very clear to me.
This doesn't make any sense, the root of this goes back to me saying Embiid could be the best center in the league, better than Howard, so presumably he could be a great center along those lines. You're acting like nobody will ever come along like that again which is obviously nonsense, and you're implying that the nature of the game has changed at its core and that a big man like that can't dominate again.
