    Default The Five Centers --- Russell, Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt, Shaq

    The Five Centers --- Russell, Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt, Shaq

    Is it me, or is this position probably the one with the most patterns in sports history for a list of 5 guys that played one position?

    QB in Football, Pitcher in Baseball, etc I don't think any other position that ranks 5 guys in virtually any order.

    Each of these guys you have posters or people who rank any of them #1 or even #5.

    Indeed; its a unique group amongst all sports. Impossible to reach a consensus on how to rank them.

    No Mikan? He isn't statistically as good as those guys, but we should criticize him according in his time.

    Anyway, I agree the 5 guys you just mentioned are great player although Hakeem has no case to be in the top 5.

    Bird was a SF, MJ was a SG, Duncan is a PF, Big O was a guard, Erving was a SF

    Top 10 All-time, not centers.

    Haha, Big O and Erving...

    I know you're Jlauber's biggest fanboy but honestly, how does Big O and Erving have a case against Hakeem?

    A chip as the second best player on your team playing alongside a super dominant C (Moses Malone and Kareem) is the same as the clear cut best player with your second best guy named Otis Thorpe? You're kidding right?

    Can't argue with that. Don't really know what case Hakeem has over Shaq. For me it's neck and neck between Wilt and Kareem, but Russell's clearly on top.
