The NBA changed during 2 big pivot points in my mind. First was MJ, Second is Curry. LeBron and Jokic are like freaks of nature that changed the definition of what a basketball player is. They embodies the position less archetype.

I would say LeBron was also a pivot point. He normalized the big man being skilled in every aspect of offense. But curry was for sure a pivot point as well. He made it so that if you can’t shoot 3s you’re a liability on offense. That’s insane. Centers shooting 3s was unheard of. Dirk was a pioneer in that regard 😂
Forgot about dirk, yup he gave the Jokics of the world some green lights to let it fly.
