it's kinda wird how those type of (true) centers don't exist anymore...most centers now play at the 4...i miss the days when a whole bunch of centers averaged 2-4+ blocks a game

and i agree hakeem was in a class of his own

Maybe shaq is the only true center left? But Dwight plays the 5, doesn't he?

BTW D Wade should've gotten the defensive player of the year imo

Haha, are you talking about getting the DPY or playing the 5 spot? What's the big difference between a 4 and a 5, is it just their position down low?



Ah, there was a rumor KG would play, but nope

i guess i was trying to say that a lot of centers now would be playing at their natural 4 spot if there wasn't a shortage of decent starter material centers

let's go boston!! i predict another game winning/tying 3pointer by ray ray

Has a game 7 in the first round ever been more compelling to watch?

hakeem despite his listed height was actually 6'10".

I somehow doubt that we'll ever see a quicker person play the 5. I'll never forget the epic series where he destroyed robinson with the up and unders.

Yeah, shaq could actually shoot jumpshots, it was amazing


Kinda funny how Dwight won a defensive player of the year award so early in his career and Shaq never won one ever even though not only was he more dominant, but he was more dominant against MUCH better competition - David Robinson, Ewing, Hakeem, Mutumbo in his prime for example..


Obviously Shaq was a much better offensive player than Howard is and probably will ever be. But I think Howard is a better defensive player than Shaq ever was.
