    Default The 5 Greatest Centers in History

    1. kareem- insane prime, goat longevity, most unstoppable shot in nba history
    2. russell- greatest winner, defender and genius in team sports
    3. shaq- most dominant player ever, arguably the best peak in league history
    4. wilt- greatest regular season player ever
    5. duncan- unselfish, maybe the greatest system player ever

    who are your top 5?

    its tough. duncan has better longevity but hakeem was the better peak player and generally had crap for teammates. im ok with bumping duncan for hakeem though.

    When I asked you to explain how Duncan was a system player before you said it was because Shaq had better stats.

    So is that still the case, or have you finally decided exactly what that system is? If it's the latter, could you describe it?

    An example of a system is the Triangle by the way, just for reference (in case you want to say Duncan being supplemented with great talent is the system itself, which of course would be wrong).

    So fix OP list then?

    Would have to take out Timmy if you wanted Hakeem in there. Though Hakeem is easily 6.

    Well isn't Duncan listed as a PF? That solves it.

    Link to the thread?

    Also, how is questioning specific parts of your thread derailing it? I didn't think you could write something more stupid, tbh.

    Well there you go. I'll take that. Let's not hijack thread over top 5 PF though.

    there is a thread about this on the front page. i dont get what you want.

    would you say bumping duncan from the top 5, for hakeem, seems reasonable?

    So a system that's been in place for about 3 years is the system Duncan has been a part of his whole career?

    LeBron Stan logic.



    How hard is it to explain the system from 97-11? That's all I want. Should take you thirty seconds.

    3. Shaq
    4. Wilt
    5. Hakeem
