My New Favorite Position

Back in January, PhDribble pontificated on the whole positional shoehorning beeswax. It's a good read, and he's right. Positions nowadays are pretty meaningless, just ask FreeDarko. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized my favorite player-type in the NBA right now is Big Guys Who Only Dunk. There's just something hilarious and awesome to me about guys who only means of offense is trying to tear the rip apart every time they touch the ball.
Some examples:

I like this grouping, but would remove Tyson Chandler and replace him with Carl Landry. See, those four guys - they are all explosive go for the dunk guys. Where as Tyson Chandler is a finisher... he needs Chris Paul to set him up, as he can't create on his own. Tyson's more in line with... Samuel Dalembert. David Lee, if he had a real point guard. Those guys.

would Stromile Swift make the list? Haven't noticed him doing too much else of note...

If that's Brandon Bass in pic #3, he probably doesn't belong in this group. He can (and does) shoot quite well...he just happens to have an upper body built for annihilating metal circles.
