The Beast in the Paint

If the author doesn't intend to improve the protagonist's free throw shooting, then the protagonist basically doesn't need to play in crucial games. NBA players can score around 50% free throw percentages that will make you question your existence. Just look at peak Howard, Jordan, and Drummond.

Will the author be able to finish writing this? Even if not, four or five hundred chapters would be fine. I like reading about traditional center forwards; I don't like those current stuff...

Actually, you can be like Malone. His bench press is even stronger than Shaq's. He has huge muscles and a better mid-range shot.

Don't worry, the protagonist will definitely be targeted to death by Adam Silver. Silver is a white supremacist, and even black people with American citizenship are just pawns to be used by him. He doesn't have Stern's vision and perspective, not to mention that he personally brought the small-ball era to its peak. The protagonist's free throws are not even guaranteed. Is the author planning to torture the protagonist by writing this?

The NBA is practically dying out because of this joke. Starting in 2014, I don't know what the author was thinking, adding a center – it feels forced. What's the point of having only one dominant player? There aren't any legendary figures left. Wouldn't it have been better to focus on the 90s? There are so many timelines to explore.

It feels a bit too deliberate. Although the low post is the focus right now, is it not good to not practice any free throws at all?

The author could have given the protagonist some practice in shooting. It doesn't have to be to the level of Curry, but none of the top ten centers in history couldn't shoot. Shaq's low-post skills weren't bad either, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was practically a bug in the system; his stilts were even more impressive.

This book is guaranteed to be abandoned, or it will have a bad ending. It's been written too late, and the protagonist has too many flaws now. Since he's going to enter the league and overthrow the small-ball era, he has to be at his best from the start. Otherwise, if he spends this much time improving himself, he'll have to play for at least two or three seasons.

Since 2014, the NBA has become completely unwatchable. It's practically dead.

Why did the author choose to start the story with a center in 2013? Times have changed, aesthetics have changed, why play a traditional center in a small-ball era? Go to the late 1990s or early 2000s and compete with Shaq, Yao Ming, and Dwight Howard. The results would definitely be better! And there would be even more talking points!
