How would you rank these centers by grouping them tiers instead of numbering off?



Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Walt Bellamy
Wilt Chamberlain
Dave Cowens
Patrick Ewing
Artis Gilmore
Neil Johnston
Bob Lanier
Moses Malone
Bob McAdoo
George Mikan
Alonzo Mourning
Dekembe Mutombo
Hakeem Olajuwon
Shaquille O'Neal
Robert Parish
Willis Reed
David Robinson
Bill Russell
Nate Thurmond
Wes Unseld
Bill Walton


TIER 1


TIER 2


TIER 3


TIER 4


TIER 5

[Psileas]

Considering careers, not primes (and ignoring the fact that, say, tier 5 centers are not literally tier 5 ones, meaning that they are not that far apart from the rest):

TIER 1

Bill Russell
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Wilt Chamberlain

TIER 2

Hakeem Olajuwon
Shaquille O'Neal
Moses Malone

TIER 3

Willis Reed
David Robinson
George Mikan
Dave Cowens
Patrick Ewing

TIER 4

Wes Unseld
Robert Parish
Nate Thurmond (arguably 3rd)
Alonzo Mourning
Artis Gilmore (if we include ABA career, he moves to 3rd tier)
Neil Johnston
Bob Lanier
Bob McAdoo
Walt Bellamy

TIER 5

Bill Walton (arguably 4th)
Dekembe Mutombo

[The A-Hole]

Not In Order, just seperated by tiers. IMO not need for a 5th tier.


TIER 1
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Shaquille O'Neal
Hakeem Olajuwon
Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell

TIER 2
David Robinson
Alonzo Mourning
Patrick Ewing

Dekembe Mutombo
Bill Walton
Willis Reed

Well done

[Psileas]

What do I see? BULLS is putting emoticons before his list. Self-knowledge is a step towards improvement.

Jabbar is the same category with Ewing.
Russell in the same category with Mutombo.

*Ignore list thoroughly maintained*

[IGOTGAME]

Shaq should be tier 1

[basketballer4]

I can't rank them all due to lack of knowledge, but I'll rank the ones I know.

Tier 1:Abdul-Jabaar, Walton, Mikan, The Dream, Shaq, The Admiral, Moses Malone, Russell

Tier 2:Bells, Cowens, Lanier, Reed, Unseld

Tier 3:Zo

Tier 4:Mt.Mutombo

And I don't think any were deserving of a 5th tier.

Wilt Chamberlain
Kareem Abdul Jabbar

How would you rank these centers by grouping them tiers instead of numbering off?

Grouping in tiers will invitably lead to cutoff players, who could go either way, seeming misplaced, at least in my mind. That said:


TIER 1
Bill Russell
Wilt Chamberlain
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Hakeem Olajuwon
Shaquille O'Neal


TIER 2
George Mikan
Moses Malone
Willis Reed
Nate Thurmond
David Robinson


TIER 3
Dave Cowens
Patrick Ewing
Wes Unseld
Bill Walton


TIER 4
Neil Johnston
Bob McAdoo
Robert Parish
Alonzo Mourning
Artis Gilmore


TIER 5
Bob Lanier
Dikembe Mutombo
Walt Bellamy
