Center Ranking

Fri Jul 22, 2005 1:14 pm

Who are the best Centers in the NBA for you?
There are definitely not many, so let's keep the list short.

I came up only with 4, so list your top 5... :oops:

1. Shaquille O'Neil
2. Zydrunas Ilgauskas
3. Yao Ming
4. Brad Miller

Timmy Duncan has a C's move set, but I'll not count him in the list since he plays PF in the league.

Fri Jul 22, 2005 1:23 pm

1. Shaq
2. Yao
3. Amare (he play center though)
4. Big Z
5. Dale Davis

Since Amare played center for Phoenix this season, I'll list him as a center.

1. Shaquille O'Neal
2. Amare Stoudemire
3. Yao Ming
4. Zydrunas Ilgauskas
5. Brad Miller

I put him in the 2nd spot because he basically more dominate than the other centers listed after him even though he played a different style of play.

If Amare's considered a center then

1. Amare Stoudemire
2. Shaquille O'Neal
3. Brad Miller
4. Yao Ming
5. Ben Wallace

On the outside looking in : Jamaal Magloire, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Chris Bosh(again only if you consider him a center), Tyson Chandler and Marcus Camby.

Shaq is starting to loose his dominance and well hes on a steady decline at the moment.

Dwight Howard's supposed to play center this year, so watch out for him :!:

Indeed. he's rumoured to have grown top a legit seven footer, plus he's gained 25 pounds of pure muscle. And he's only 20. Amare, beware. :lol:

Losing his dominance or not, he's still the best center in the league. He's what I prefer to call a legitimate center. Yao doesn't have the body for it, he's just tall, he's got skills, no doubt, but he would've been pushed around a lot if he was in the time of Ewing, Hakeem. He's not strong enough.

Amare is good, I love the kid but I still don't think he's better than Shaq at the moment. Besides, I like him as a PF. :oops:

Sat Jul 23, 2005 4:15 am

I should've did this list today instead of late at night because I forgot all about Big Ben :lol:

Sat Jul 23, 2005 6:43 am
