Kyrie Hater
I don't think the traditional center is making a comeback, but I do think that we are seeing big men making a comeback. It's just that most of the big men who are playing a bigger role in the NBA right now are the ones who have the skills traditionally associated with guards. There will always be a place for traditional centers who are dominant (who doesn't love a guy who will pull down 15 boards per game?), but I think the traditional bigs will continue to be few and far between. And it's hard to see them coming back to play as big a role as they used to in playoff basketball.
The exception might be if a modern Hakeem or David Robinson comes around.
To be a true superstar though, they have to be able to defend the perimeter. I think those 2 specifically would not have missed a beat playing today and they might have even been better.
