beijing time on october 6th, 76ers forward paul george recently updated his podcast, during which he said that when playing against his former team, the indiana pacers, the heat changed the nba landscape by letting chris bosh play center. .

george said: "when we played the heat, they put bosh at the 5, and i think that's when the league really changed. because we were one of the last teams that still used two big men, like david west and roy hibbert are not three-point shooters and are only good at mid-range shooting.

"defensively, the heat were fighting us until they put chris bosh at the 5 and played the game with four perimeter players, which was their strategy to beat the pacers. at that time, that was how they beat the pacers. the author’s blueprint.

"then we saw a similar situation with the hawks. they put pero antic at the 5, and he's a big man who can shoot. al horford was at the 5, and he's a big man who can shoot. this has caused us great trouble. now, this has become the goal of all teams. you need a big man who can shoot. the 4th position is no longer a traditional inside position. more like a guard or perimeter player.

"we (the pacers) take a lot of credit for that change. that indiana pacers team played a big role in the evolution of the game."
