Horace Grant would be a top 10 player in today's league

[Straight_Ballin]

Sure, back in the 90's he could be someone contained with all the flagrant fouls on him not being called, but in today's game where every touch foul sends you to the line, I don't see any scenario where Grant is not a top 10 player. The guy had so many moves in his arsenal, but was mainly used to defend and rebound, which he did and is a 3 peat champion.

No wonder Jordan couldn't do shit before he got all this talent.

He is out of my top 10 now. Didn't realize how stacked his teams were.

horace had literally ZERO moves in his arsenal and was just a play-finisher.

but it's interesting - the top tier of big men in previous eras had their team's entire offense run through them, whereas the top bigs of today's game play more like horace by just finishing plays that the perimeter players create... however, in horace's era, a play-finisher was just that - a play-finisher - a john salley, an otis thorpe, a horace grant... said another way - a stiff.

the reason why stiffs like horace can be top bigs in today's game is because it's easier than ever before for perimeter players to create plays for them - dribble-penetration occurs more than ever before, due to wider driving lanes (via spacing) and new rules designed to open up the middle of the floor and make penetration easier.. again, this is not my interpretation of the new rules - it's the NBA's.

Modern era is weaker than I thought if Horace Grant would be top 10.
