Where Does Dwight "Superman" Howard Rank for the Best Centers to Ever Play?

[Fudge]

Eventually, when its all said and done and his career is over, there's no doubt he'll pass the second tier bigs like (Zo, DRob, Ewing, Walton, etc). As of right now though, you cant really say.

"Dominance w/ in your own era" is a criteria YOU established, not the op.

And once again, anyone who'd take a Bill Russell or one of those other old school C's (like Wes Unseld etc) over Dwight is not only cookin' crack, you're smokin' it, too.

No "today's training techniques are different" rebuttal's either.

You know a stud athlete/ player when you see them, regardless of era.

Bill Russ was great but athletically equivalent to a Marcus Camby which is good, not groundbreaking though.

As for op, hard to say since Dwight is just entering his prime at 26 yrs old and having 3 DPOY Awards (in a row) already.

what are you talking about man, I wasn't calling out OP. I'm answering his question with my opinion. Most people are aware that Shaq, for example, was 10x the talent that Russell was. However, Russell is a good 4 or 5 spots ahead of him on the G.O.A.T. list, due to his success relative to his peers.

no dude, in '56 russell was ranked #7 in high jump in the world.
he ran 400 m under 50 sec, that is groundbreaking for a 6'8'' dude.

Not true. He was a 6'9-6'11 (somewhere in there) highly physically gifted big man, who was really athletic, excellent leaping ability, could run the floor pretty well, had huge length and world class athlete.

IMO, he was one of the most physically gifted and athletic players ever.

We'll see how Dwight's career stacks up. Right now, he might be a Top 20.

btw, shaq is "superman".

Could end up Top 20. Should, given his physical gifts.

Personally, I don't see him cracking the Top 10.
