    Default Fastest True Center in NBA History?

    Who is the fastest true center in NBA History? I am saying true center so that people wouldn't say guys like Magic, who have played center before in their life but aren't labeled by that position. I think Olajuwon is pretty quick for his size, considering his post moves such as the Dream Shake.

    I'm not sure about raw speed. But nobody in the history of the league was faster with the ball than David Robinson. That guy could move like a guard.

    Chris Dudley had a 42" vertical in his prime.

    I actually read someone saying this, but they were probably, obviously kidding.

    Probably Wilt, since track and field was his thing, and he thought basketball was for sissies.

    Of guys I actually saw, definitely David Robinson. I don't know if it was playing in SA in relative obscurity a lot of his career, Duncan surpassing everything The Admiral ever did with that franchise, whatever, but people never seem to talk about Robinson. Shame, dude was a damn athletic freak and an outstanding individual off the floor.

    Oh wait, no it doesn't. It's just a highlight vid of one playoff series that has nothing to do with the topic. Useless post by you.

    Probably not considered a true center, but Ralph Sampson.

    Nah, I was just pointing out that Robinson isn't as quick as Olajuwon is when attacking and defending.
