I actually see how both these roles you described are still prevalent in both positions (PF and C) these days. It all depends on what division and who you are talking about. Currently, there are way more star-caliber PFs then there are Cs so it makes it seems like its a more glamorized position... I guess. And this will change once an influx of star-caliber Centers come back into the league but that seems more like a rarity these days.
