just because there aren't any dominant post up players doesn't mean they aren't still the most valuable players. The last teamthat had dominant post up players were the 08-10 Lakers and we know what they accomplished

Whereas basically every other championship team of the past decade has featured a dominant iso scorer along with great ball movement and a strong defensive anchor.

I'm not saying it's impossible to win with a post player but he'd better be able to play some defense. Otherwise you're just going to get what the Thunder have right now with Kanter: stats, no defense and an L, to paraphrase Trevor Booker's words.
