Shaq's a shell of his former self. Duncan and Garnett might break hips before the playoffs are over. Dirk's still good. Amare is the Shawn Marion of big men--no true offensive game but benefits from being a freak who plays with a PG good enough to exploit his natural advantages. Bosh is a big man version of Dominique Wilkins--a perennial All-Star who'll never be the centerpiece of a contender. Pau Gasol is Bosh with a Kobe.

The only franchise bigs in the NBA today are Dirk and Dwight Howard.

Sow long before the NBA's shortage of quality big men ends? Will we ever get back to the quality of big men we saw back in the 80's and 90's? Thoughts?
