Ewing had much more offensive skill. I look at the big men who play today and most of them aren't half as skilled as Olajuwon/Ewing/Robinson. We may never see an era of centers like that ever again in the NBA.

Differnt players in different Eras.

Ewing in his prime was amazing. His knees were a problem and he had shoulder problems which is really didn't disclose all too much. Ewing was a back to the basket beast where Amare is an athletic freak more like Hakeem, just not as good especially on the Defense.

Ewing is top 50.

I love Steve Nash but Amare also Made Nash an MVP too. Give Amare credit.

Good post Nalod. Hard to compare. In terms of popularity with younger Knicks fans he might eclipse Ewing because they never saw him play or were too young to remember.

I dunno about that ...at one stretch I remember Walton, Kareem, Cowens.. then there was the two towers and Parrish NBA does seem shorter on real center talent but the job is different Hell at one time you weren't allowed to dunk

Fewer teams then too. Or were there... cause back then you had the ABA and Gilmore and a few I forget.

I meant that we probably won't see those kinds of centers again in the NBA....

What kinds of centers?...those 3 were vastly different as were the ones I mentioned The game changes, the position changes...some styles suit different talent better. So Shaq couldn't have played with those guys? Bynum when healthy?
