Can I be honest? The specialists, I think, are being killed by the media. Nowadays the only thing social media seems to cover, is 1 vs 1 basketball skills, some ankle breakers, or fancy finishes, but there really is so much more to the game. To me, each team needs specialists, as much as they need players who can dribble, drive and play 1 vs 1. But how many times do we talk about that amazing shooter? Rarely, because what attracts the eyes are other kind of plays. I'm a supporter of specialist players, because even if nobody talks about them, they are the ones that complete a team: those that go unnoticed, but get the job done. In this era and not just in basketball, everyone wants to be able to do everything. But only a few are able to do one thing and do it well for real.
