Yeah, not just LeBron though. Remember, Magic was a freakish point guard as well (heightwise). The game has just changed to be geared around offense so much more...so bigmen are learning to face up more and play almost like small forwards (credit David Robinson 8)). The difference is though, back in the day....bigmen played much better defense then now. Dwight Howard is good defensively, but looks so good because he his being compared to every other bigman out there who plays no D at all.

But at the end of the day the teams with defensive minded bigs with great wing players wins the rings.
The league is in favor of offense because that's what sells.

Man....there isnt ONE aspect of Shaqs game that was better than Hakeems. The only thing Shaq has, he is heavier. Im not sure if you got to watch Hakeem in his prime...but he was amazing. And again, he was competing with Robinson and Ewing in their primes. Hakeem had a better jumper, better footwork, better post moves (lol not even close), better defender....Shaq was just fatter is all.
