That was very interesting. I'm completely sold that Dirk isn't getting enough love in these legacy conversations. The post made me think about how Magic paved the way for forwards and bigs to be primary playmakers.

One of my best friends growing up was just like you (he's also very interested in economics). He played just like a modern wing and to this day I'm convinced he was good enough to go pro if he had the inclination or support to do so. He had the same issues, though, with coaches sticking him down in the post. He hated playing in the post and ultimately quit playing organized basketball.
