It’s not an honourable mention, he straight up was better for NY than Ewing. 2 Rings, an MVP and the Finals MVP for both rings beating Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. Ewing definitely has the edge in stats due to longevity, but Reed did what Ewing never could
I know Lanier was a beast for the pistons but I still would’ve picked my boy Big Ben, 1 of 2 people to win DPOY 4 times that alone is insane not to mention when he was on the pistons and his first few years with the bulls he made those defenses some of the best I would even say the 03-04 Pistons are the greatest defense ever
Nate Thurmond. He was perhaps the greatest defensive center to ever play. Great rebounder. Not a great scorer but he was definitely a level above Ben Wallace on both ends.
10:55 The knock on Walton was his feet - like a certain NFL great (Bob Sanders), he lost more games injured than he played - but when he WAS healthy, talk about IMPACT. Unfortunately for Portland, Bill's best year was probably 1986 - where he won 6'th Man of the Year with the Celtics in more games played than any other year he was in the NBA.
Bob Lanier wasn’t the second best center of the seventies, that title would go to Dave cowens who won an mvp and a couple of championships is the seventies
It's a debate - and it's arguable that Dave was the second best player on his TEAM in most of the 1970s (to John Havlicek). Dave IS underrated though - he was built and played much in the mold of some nobody named Russell....
Cowens got a gift MVP. He had no claim to that award other than I guess they got tired of giving it to Kareem. Cowens didn't come close to Jabbar that season. The 2nd best center of the 70s? That's a tough. There were alot of great centers. I might say Bob McAdoo based on 3 scoring titles and 1 MVP. Bob Lanier after him. He was more of a physical center than McAdoo. You gotta consider Artis Gilmore up there. He was a beast.
11:33 Tim Duncan > David Robinson, but it's an argument. Keep in mind that Tim played CENTER for a large majority of his career, he was only a Power Forward for a few years early on when David was the "official" center (in practice, the Spurs actually had *2* Centers and no PF in their Twin Towers era).
Patrick Ewing was outstanding, no question about that. He played for the Knicks for a long time. However Willis Reed was at least as good a shooter, at least as good defensive, maybe better except for blocking shots, and a better rebounder. As far as best Knicks player, Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Dave Debusschere, Bernard King, Carmelo Anthony, all are up there. Frazier was the best overall though. God bless you all 🙏🏻 🙏🏼
Alright listen up, Shaq is no where near the best Lakers best center position. And you ain’t gonna just disrespect Kareem like that. Kareem was a GOD. He is one Jordan levels of good as both a Buck and a Laker. I mean, look at the stats lol.
5:45 If you limit Wilt and Kareem to their years with the Lakers, I'd go with Kareem over Wilt - despite 1972. If you go with TOTAL CAREER, Wilt wins - but Kareem can make a strong argument of it.
@@jujuju948 Going with JUST their Laker years - perhaps. Wilt did get that knee injury/surgery that slowed him down noticeably VERY early in his Laker's years. Kareem does lose much of HIS prime due to early years on the Bucks. Shaq on the other hand was IN the core of HIS prime in his Lakers years.
@@smokeyjoe795 I can agree if you make that "one of the" instead of "the". But it's been a VERY long running debate, and I hold out for Bill Russell as *the* greatest. Bill in UNarguably the greatest Championship Winner in Basketball.
The 67 title for the 76ers with Wilt Chamberlain was not the first title in that franchise history, that same franchise under the name of the Syracuse nationals won a title and 55. At the time their best player was Dolph Schayes.
If blocks had been counted in the 1960s and early 1970s, Wilt would probably be the all time BPG leader AND total blocks leader, then Bill - Kareem would be ahead of Hakeem on total blocks, and Nate Thurmond would probably be in the Top 5 on both somewhere.
Dude Bill Walton was fucking awesome. The defensive win shares tell some more of the story than the basic stats but really the stats don't tell his story. Watch him play and forget about who's scoring or rebounding and you'll understand.
If Davis was listed as a center wouldn’t that make Duncan a center too? He played a lot of years at the 5 and it’s the position he won 3 of his 5 championships. I’m just looking for consistency.
For the "Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets" it has to be Biyombo!! ...Alonso Mourning is from another franchise, Mourning played in another franchise, the "charlotte Hornets / New Orleans Hornets / New Orleans Pelicans" where Anthony Davis is the best center
Me: Siri, how good was Wes Unseld in his prime? Siri: How good was Ryan's toy reviews in his prime. Me: HOW GOOD WAS WES UNSELD IN HIS PRIME!? Siri: I found 6 results of Ryan's toy reviews cherry pie

Wilt Chamberlain and Pete Maravich were arguably just as dominant as Kareem in the ncaa. Not everything is about championships and Pistol Pete was absurdly productive, the most prolific and efficient scorer in ncaa history and he was a guard before the 3pt line existed! That's fucking incredible. And Wilt? I mean just watch the games. He dominated so hard that he went semi-pro instead as well as spending a year with the globetrotters too, it was so comically dominant that the game turned into an unsportsmanlike farce instead of a real sport with how much teams were abusing the absence of a shot clock. The ncaa will always deserve a giant heap of criticism and condemnation for how insanely unsportsmanlike it was for the rules committee to wait until 1980 to institute a shot clock, and possibly the most dominant and picturesque ncaa player ever was driven into illegally going semi-pro just to get away from that trashy rules committee. You can't sit there and watch a team pass the ball for three minutes or longer just to try and keep the other team from getting a possession, and tell me that's basketball. In fact it's an insult to the game and an insult to people who paid to watch it, you may as well forfeit the game right then and there and tuck your tail between your legs.
Maybe in the eyes of then Jordan's Wizard Kwame Brown was his best center. It was reported after some workout with the Wizard Jordan thought that Kwame will be the future of the Wizards.
