I never said this.
I think I argued his crowning of superstar status while not being able to win. I am critical most of him and Cousins. Two big men that can't win because of bad rosters and their inability to carry games. Really it's the stat compiler argument, nothing more than what gasbags like Bill Simmons or Rusillo argue.
I am of the stance that the current crop of big men in the NBA is terrible as none of them are getting to the playoffs and winning anything.
But I'm starting to think it's not so much they are terrible but it's more like an obsolete position to have in the NBA. Building around an elite big man apparently isn't getting you very far. But I am excited for that next generation of big men coming up (KAT, Prozingas, Simmons, etc) These guys are big and they have that versatility in their game to really carry a franchise. I would like to see the game change from a bunch of dudes shooting 3 pointers and playing small, I want to see a 7 footer just dominate his way to the finals.
I never called him a role player though.
