Imo if they win it will move the nba further from small ball and towards tall athletic guys who are skilled at everything and can defend. Started already with the nuggets last year and even the bucks. Warriors 22 was an anomaly
Actually I would argue it started with the Lakers in 2020, was repeated by the Bucks in 2021, and was more or less refined and perfected by the Nuggets, since Jokic is just a unique talent, and adding Gordon opened up a lot of things on both sides of the court.
I’m very happy to see players push the league back to physicality, size, versatility. They still shoot a ton of 3s but I love the idea of defense first teams (Minny) and attack the paint teams (OKC) being teams of the future vs the small ball, 6’4 centers shooting 1 million 3s.
