NBA Centers of All Time

Hakeem Olajuwon - The foot work was phenomenal. His touch was pristine. He was agile as a gazelle. He brought a new dimension to the position that has never been seen before. He showed that the point guards weren't the only one who could bring some artistry to the game of basketball.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar - There hase never been an offensive weapon like the sky hook. It's impossible to defend. If you go for the block while it's up in the air, you'll be called for goaltending. If you try to block it from his right hand, you'd be called for a foul. Your only hope was that he had an off game, which didn't happen too often.
Bill Russell - What can you say about somebody who has 11 championship rings. You can say that no other player will ever come close to achieving something like that. He's the only person that ever got the best of Wilt Chamberlain. That's saying a lot.
