This is an era of declining centers. Of the four major centers in the league, only the aging O'Neal is still maintaining their glory. The new generation of centers is expected to take over their banner. Yao Ming is struggling in the quagmire of injuries. Happy Beast is still making a difficult choice between happiness and basketball.
This is a prosperous era for outside players. Kobe Bryant is at his peak, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant are waiting to take over the league and create their own era. Harden, Curry, Westbrook, George, and one after another talented outside players are also beginning to appear.
This is an era of small ball tactics. The centers that once dominated the league are becoming increasingly marginalized. This is the trend of this era. However, some people are going against the trend and becoming the gods in an era of outside players.
