This came across my feed on FB. The top 3 being Wilt,Jabbar, and Russell is hard to argue, but some of the other choices I don't know. I don't know about Reed at 6 while patrick is number 11.

I don't know about Reed at 6 while patrick is number 11. Reed would have been higher without his injuries, and the Knicks would have won at least 2 more titles. Reed knew he was a center, and had a tough inside offensive game. I loved Ewing, but he came to think of himself as a small forward, or a "stretch 4," before the term was even coined. Ralph Sampson had the same issue. After all these years it is still amazing to me that Alcindor/Jabbar did not have a greater impact on how centers play the game, especially during the years during and shortly after Jabbar played.

I don't know about Reed at 6 while patrick is number 11. Reed as a 4 in his first few years was a beast!!! Ralph sampson should have been groomed in college to be Kevin Durant. Instead they tried to take that small frame and make him into a center. Sampson could have been a god if they just followed his natural position. Ewing knew how to get paid. Im ok with him at 11. bottom line was Walton was top 5 of all time if not for injuries. Jabbar played a finesse game and few wanted to be known as that. Shaq would never consider the underhanded free throw, same for Wilt. Not macho. He played until he was 42!!!!!! The sky hook was indefensible!!!!!! Russell is rated on his heart, 11 chips in 13 years than on his offensive game. |
