2022 NBA Offseason Thread

Detlef shrempf and Toni kukoc birthed Dirk. I just left them out because the term "athletic" was used as a qualifier.

Tom Chambers could possibly go on the list.

Kg nor Dirk pioneered shit. They just represented a shift in teams thinking where building your team around a stretch big became viable.

Charles Barkley
Clifford Robinson
Chris Webber
Terry Mills

I’ll give you Webber and Cliff but Barkley was 6’4 so I ain’t going for that. We both know the increase of stretch 4’s came from KG (Bosh and Amare admitted he influenced their game)

What his height gotta do with it, he played the 4 and was shooting outside shots

How many 6’11 players were power forwards on the perimeter outside of maybe Sam Perkins, don’t mention undersized guys KG pioneered the stretch 4

You know the bold means that they already existed before KG regardless of it becoming more accepted and popular after him.

How you pioneer something when other people was doing it before

 

[King Freeman]

This nigga ax really no signed me then proceeded to say the exact same fucking thing I said. Tf.

My point is KG said they originally listed him at center but because he didn’t wanna bang with Shaq so he moved to power forward. How many 7 footers were moved to power forward before KG?

 

[Suckio Andretti]

They only played like 10 games together but the Jokic, Murray, Gordon trio was really good in a small sample size...like they running teams off the court nasty style

I was gonna say wtf are you talking about but I forgot they traded for Gordon the bubble year and not last offseason lol

Team is Atleast bigger and a tad bit deeper

no more compazzo and Rivers mins

What this gotta do with being a stretch 4?

I’m no signing the fact that you said they didn’t pioneer anything when I’m giving you my reason why. How many 7 footers were playing on the perimeter before KG and Dirk

People already listed 4's who played some on the perimeter. How many more examples do you want? KG nor Dirk played 100% on the perimeter.

 

[BlackAx410]

Because he was the first 7 footer playing on the perimeter consistently. They stuck your ass in the post if you were 6’11 before he played. He influenced Amare, Bosh, Aldridge and Blake griffin being a big man to handle, facilitate and shoot. Y’all ain’t bout to minimize KG’s impact in here lls

 

[King Freeman]

Kg shot over .300 from 3 twice in his career but he pioneered the stretch 4.

Sigh.

Add Larry Johnson to the list while I'm here sonning this nigga.

Not 100% but I’m saying guys between 6’10+ where were they placed before KG came through?

He influenced those guys but he didn't pioneer anything

What does height have to do with it? Did those niggas play the 4 or not?

Lmao stretch 4’s ain’t about shooting 3’s only, KG was a sniper in the mid range and you ain’t sonning shit. Where were the players 6’10 and up placed At before KG?
