🚀 Is the NBA Becoming Too Much Like Positionless AAU Ball?


 

Bro… look at the league right now.

  • Your center’s dribbling up like a PG.

  • Your shooting guard’s posting up.

  • Your point guard’s basically just another wing.

Everyone does everything now.
Is that dope?
Or is it kinda killing the beauty of the game?




🏀 Back Then, Positions Actually Mattered

Bro, old school you had clear roles.

  • Point guards ran the offense.

  • Shooting guards scored off cuts.

  • Small forwards slashed & defended.

  • Power forwards banged inside.

  • Centers lived in the paint.

Now?
You got 7-footers launching stepbacks.
PGs rebounding like Rodman.
Bigs switching onto guards 30 feet from the basket.

It’s literally AAU ball.


🔥 Is It Smart or Just Chaos?

Yeah spacing is better.
Matchups get exposed.
Analytics says versatility wins.

But sometimes?
It looks like pickup ball.

No set plays.
Just 1-on-1, stepback threes or reckless drives.
Then five dudes jog back with no real transition D.


🤯 The Only True “Position” Left is Shooter

Honestly?
The one position that still exists is just “shooter.”

You can be 6’3 or 7’1 — if you hit 40% from deep, you get minutes.

Meanwhile pure floor generals & post beasts are kinda dying out.


🤔 My Take?

I get it.
Positionless is fun.
It’s cool seeing Jokic run point-center, or Giannis euro-step from the three-point line.

But lowkey?
I miss the days when you had true PGs orchestrating, and bigs punishing people inside.

Now it’s just everyone dribble, everyone iso, everyone jack threes.


💬 What do YOU think?
Is the NBA better because it’s positionless, or has it turned into AAU chaos at the highest level?
