Think about it: Shaq was so dominant many centers who basically could do nothing but defend and fouling people got any contracts, let alone significant minutes. By contrast Curry was so ridiculous in his shooting and ball movements, on top of his slashing, that the league start following Warriors into maximizing threes and spacing, often include stretch centers that would be smaller Power Forward in the past.

The question is: had prime Shaq and prime Curry exist at the same time and wreaking havoc, with similarly talented teams, what would the league prioritize? Tall bodies that can (barely) slow down and contain Shaq, or smaller but mobile team to counter Warriors in their own game?
