ESPN's Top 10 C's of All-Time

[aj1987]

1. KAJ
2. Wilt
3. Russell
4. Shaq
5. Hakeem
6. Moses
7. D-Rob
8. Ewing
9. Mikan
10. Walton

I personally would swap Shaq and Wilt.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

KAJ
Shaq
Hakeem
Russell
Robinson
Wilt
Ewing
Moses
Gilmore
Walton

Peakwise, Walton would be much higher but his career was too short

[FKAri]

A pretty good list actually. ESPN's other lists were a complete mess.

[Gileraracer]

1. KAJ
2. Hakeem
3. Shaq
4. Russell
5. Wilt
6. Moses
7. D-Rob
8. Ewing
9. Mikan
10. Walton

[ArbitraryWater]

Can't say I vehemently disagree with one thing on that list, of course the Mikan and Walton picks always seem a bit random, since they're kind of hard to rank.

They made some really good lists.

[feyki]

Eh , not bad .

Mikan always gets underrated cause people judge players with their tv display quality and skin . I'm not surprised .

Willis Reed should be on the list .

Hakeem also gets underrated cause his team were pathetic in half of his prime . He's clearly better than Shaq to me .

Bill Russell is/was best player of the game history for me . So , i think he's best center .

Rest of the list are good .

If Walton had been able to stay healthy I think he would have ended up top 10 all time.

Artis Gilmore is underrated

I personally would swap Shaq and Wilt.

The late 80's and early 90's was truly a special time for GOAT level C. Not only did you have the four guys on the list, but also Mourning, Dikembe, Parish, Vlade and Daugherty along with a few others I can't recall right now.

++++

Absolutely . He did battle with prime Kareem individually . He would better than Moses if he stayed healthy .

Marc Gasol > Vlade

[Dr Hawk]

My list:

1. Kareem
2. Shaq
3. Wilt
4. Olajuwon
5. Moses
6. Robinson
7. Ewing
8. Russell
9. Gilmore
10. Walton

Artis Gilmore is underrated

Yes he was. 8 year stretch from 1972 - 1979:

22.1 PPG, 15.5 RPG, 3.0 BPG, 56% FG, 23.2 PER

Yeah, five of those years were in the ABA but still nice numbers.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

What's the basis for Walton? You can't go peak for one guy and then career for the others. Or is it all peak?

Interestingly they did this 9 years ago and had Walton above DRob.

Such a stacked position, too. Lanier? Cowens? Reed? McAdoo?

[ClipperRevival]

Marc Gasol > Vlade

Vlade gets seriously underrated. The Vlade people saw with the Kings was the aging version. The guy was one of the better passing big men ever, very fluid athlete for a C, solid outside jumper, could run the floor and had a very good post up game.
