Another way to think of it could be this: the last eight NBA champions plus the two Miami teams that won it with LeBron were not Center oriented. The Lakers had AD in 2020, who could slide over to C, so maybe they don't quite count, but the Bucks, Raptors, Cavs, and Warrior teams were all constructed with primary strengths other than a powerhouse traditional center. Before that, Dirk won with a good defensive center in Tyson Chandler, the Kobe-led Lakers won two with PF Pau, where Bynum was a lesser piece, and Boston won with PF KG as the important big while Perkins held down the C position. It's been quite a while since a team whose best player was their center won a championship. Even in 2014, Duncan was the spiritual leader but Kawhi had the best advanced stats by far and was the key to slowing down Lebron.
