What a completely shit list









Jk still haven't watched the video just preparing you for the hate, remember to keep it up with the awesome content though!

[DonnyWs]

People sleep on Hakeem. One of my favorites of all time

[luiscerros]

Easy to agree with this analysis. Hakeem was a nightmare to the rest of the centers.

[GalacticAstroparticles]

I think Wilt is no. 1, but the top 5 are solid, no matter the order you place them in.

[wayneegli]

Wilt will always be number 1. Teams worked to change draft rules to get him. The NBA changed a lot of the game's rules to slow him down.

[Johnadams]

how the heck is wilt not number one center of all time, he is not just the number one center of all time, wilt is the greatest basketball player of all time hands down period.

[truth_be_told]

Number 1Center Wilt Chamberlain number 2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar number 3 Hakeem Olajuwon number 4 Bill Russell number 5 Shaquille O'Neal number 6 Moses Malone number 7 Patrick Ewing number 8 David Robinson number 9 Wes Unseld number 10 George Mikan

[guygonzalez]

Wilt's records will be her 5000 yrs from now!! The best player in history!! There will never be another Wilt!!

[shakasalaam]

The rookie that won MVP first was Wilt Chamberlin

[regulate]

Dwight Howard? Nope. Hakeem @ #1? Yup!

[nixonescobar]

Absolutely, Hakeem the dream, the best.

[siviathompson]

10. UNSELD / REED - TIE
9. MIKAN
8. EWING
7. ROBINSON
6. MALONE
5. RUSSELL
4. SHAQ
3. JABBAR
2. OLAJUWON

[adamdardeck]

Growing up my favorite was Moses Malone. That 24-17 you mention. Well that equals 41. I think that is the highest total ever for a year. I think it still is. Let me know if I am wrong. Now The Dream got the better of every great center during his time and there were many greats. Even Shaq wouldn't argue that or Robinson or any other. He had many but the move they call the Dream, man he made others look silly. This was my first video I have watched of your's, but not the last. Great list. New sub.

[kilrbt]

Mine :
10 mikan
9 willis reed
8 ewing
7 david robinson
6 moses
5 hakeem
4 shaq
3 bill
2 wilt
1 kareem

[johnnyn]

I said on your vid 5 years ago this list.
I'm so glas that Dream is finally getting recognized.
This was my list
1/2) Kareem or Olajuwon
3/4) Russell or Chamberlain
5) Shaq
6) Moses Malone
7) David Robinson
8) Patrick
9) Mutumbo
10) Great George Mikan

[knyneskredd]

No one ever talks about Mark Eaton, maybe not top ten but should be an honorable mention

[davejohnson]

Wilt, Russell, Jabbar, Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, Thurmond, Malone, O'Neil, Parish

[rodneywashington]

The list is kool. Lifelong fan of mostly Centers and Power Forwards. I would've started #10 off with George Mikan though. I never leave Big George off that Top 10 list. You could even argue him at #9, and Ewing #10, and I'm also a lifelong Georgetown fan as well(UH, GTown, UNLV, Michigan)

[TheEnglishgal]

1 wilt 2 Kareem 3 Hakeem 4 bill Russell 5 shaq 6 Moses 7 d rob 8 Ewing 9 wills read 10 Wes unseld

[pilotmagus]

Hot take
Hakeem is better than shaq
Bill is better wilt
But I believe that both bill or kareem is better than hakeem because hakeem's prime was short.
