Marc Gasol is a top 3 center in the league, he does everything right at both ends of the floor. I can't really think of a more all-around center than Gasol, maybe Anthony Davis.
what because he doesn't have post moves?! Well guess what post moves are irrelevant in todays game. The best Centers are the ones most effective at rolling, rebounding and blocking shots and not hijacking offenses I.E......... DEANDREEEEEEEE
Yes you just helped my point. Embiid is great because he is an all around player amd doesnt have to sit in the post all day unlike a guy like Okafor whl isnt a good player despite his post moves since he cant rebound for defend. Thanks for helping my point food do ur research.
For once I agree with Shaq, no way is Deandre Jordan the best center in the league. Not even the best defensive big. He is good at catching lobs and rebounding but is very limited in other areas.
TRE4RERE Rudy Gobert, Hasan Whiteside, Andrew Bogut, and Duncan until he retired were in the same league and even better in certain areas defensively, although Deandre is a better rebounder than all except maybe whiteside. But if he didnt have elite playmakers like paul and griffin creating huge lanes for him to catch alley oops he would be looked at more like tyson chandler than the best center in the league.
NatCrossdale clips4evaeva what numbers exactly? He is not leading in any defensive statistical category. Not rebounds, not blocks, not steals, not defensive rating not defensive win shares, not defensive plus-minus. He is shooting an impressive 52 percent in free throws though.
If Deandre isn't dunking, he can't score. I feel like in order to be the best center, or even big man, in the league, you have to be a threat at both ends of the floor. Which cases can be made that Deandre is not
he is the most overrated center in the game,without CP3 he is useless cant create his own thing ,I would love to see him play with the mavs lol he would be exposed
The Star thats why he's with the clippers, cause of how he works with the system don't discredit him hes doing amazing in his system so why say "if he was on this team" thats just being a hater
Joshua Contreras he is great for their system and a very good defender ,i just dont like when someone says he is the best center in the league ,he is nowhere near the elite centers
TRE4RERE Ya exactly ... ppl r keep talking abt players r soft nowadays... but they just don't get it that it's harder to defend without fouling & score without being too physical ...so that's a strong point thr
@@SoftSticks imagine shaq guarding curry on a switch. Thats why theres no real big guys anymore they cant defend the pick and roll. The ones that can are unicorns.
Best C in the league is Marc Gasol. Back to the basket, mid range, can shoot 3s, defensive anchor, excellent passer, coachable and can transition to any coaching system. Just cause he's not putting up monster numbers or highlights doesn't mean he's not the best atm.
We really forgot someone who is probably the best in his team: Nikola Jokic from the Denver Nuggets. I acknowledge he isn’t great on defense, but he strongly makes up for that by his superior offense
What about Jokic?He is very talented and nobody talks about him like... :D Marc is definitly underated and Spurs players because they play like team and not like individuals
Best Centers 1. DeMarcus Cousins ( although he can play the 4) - just wish he would check his emotions more 2. Karl Anthony Towns ( another guy who can play the 4)- amazing player at a young age 3. Joel Embiid ( reminds me of Hakeem the dream) 4. Marc Gasol ( Memphis to me isn't the same team without him) 5. Andre Drummond 6. Hassan Whiteside 7. Dwight Howard 8. DeAndre Jordan 9. Al Horford ( although another guy who can play the 4) 10. Brook Lopez No way though is DeAndre Jordan the best center in the NBA, i do have him in my top 10. I didn't put Anthony Davis because to me he is a PF as his main position.
Can't stop laughing with this guys! Hahaha smart and dynamic conversations with beeping for cussing stuff too! Great job guys...and chuck? The poor old chuck! Let's keep on CHUCKLING! Hahahah
To me it comes down to what position these guys are actually playing. Pretty sure someone like Cousins plays the majority of his minutes at the 5, while someone like Davis plays the majority at the 4. Today with 4's and 5's being more interchangeable than in the past, the better phrasing would be, "Who's the best Big" not just center. But for true centers I'd have to go with: Cousins, Jordan, Towns (I know in this video at least 1 person said he was a 4, but I think of him as a 5), Whiteside, M Gasol. That would be my top 5. But if Embiid can stay healthy, keep progressing and eventually play full minutes and both back to back sets, his potential is crazy. The stats he is putting up in limited minutes is something I've never personally seen before. I'm also excited to see the continued development of guys like Valanciunas, Porzingis, Myles Turner, Dieng, Gobert, Adams, Nurkic etc.
bingwa he's arguably still in his prime considering age doesn't really affect his game but if you get one injury as a guy that's not in the spotlight, people seem to forget about you fast af
Simon you're spot on but I feel these guys overlook the things he does well, memphis are usually good team rebounders, it doesn't mean marcs not boxing out or anything just cos he's not stat chasing like westbrook. And considering he shoots more like a guard in his shot selection I don't hold his shooting percentage too harshly against him, I mean, shaqs arguing boogie but his TS% is only 56% if we're comparing this season, but for their careers it's actually Marc who shoots 56% and cousin's shooting 53%, granted boogie scores more. But you're probably spot on with "why" even though that might be giving too much credit to why they don't mention him, tbh I think a great deal of it is that he's still viewed as pretty "foreign" and doesn't do many interviews etc, he's not one to be in the lime light, bit like duncan in that regard. But if I want a center to make me much better on BOTH ends of the floor, I'll choose gasol.
Mark has the wrong skin colour and not enough "thuggery" for this politically correct POS segment which is Area 21 to be included in the discussion of best big man.
It's very sad that Marc is not in the conversation just because he's from Spain. Always felt that these guys forget about foreign players. It's a fact now. Marc is the best at the moment.
I think Marc is great and Marc is way better than DeAndre Jordan could ever dream of being. IF you put DeAndre jordan on a average team his numbers would drop.. I don't think Marc is better than Cousins. Cousins may have an attitude problem but he is a beast and can do it all.
Nano Alfonso he's not because he's not the best in the league , he's above average but not a great defender or score but he's good maybe a couple years ago
+Chris Carter He's a great defender, he's been anchoring the Grizzlies defense for years, where have you been? Not a great scorer? That's why he leads the nba in post ups and his midrange and 3pt shot has become lethal. And I don't even want to start with his clutch moments.
You know . People can call the "true big men" just all old talk but I, as many other people: are getting plain tired of these 3 shot. I mean I want to see young fellas get physically in the post and dominate down low and get easy shots. That's what basketball is. Hopefully young generation centers take notice of that and base there game around the post again.
Mystic Mac Not true. And, Whiteside has developed a decent mid range shot. Whiteside is a much better skilled offensive player. Can do all the things DeAndre does, and more versatile.
Lol this was a great segment. On the real though Davis or Kat is the best big in the league. Cousins is great but as Kenny was saying, even with a bad team you have to eventually get to the playoffs and he hasn't been there yet and was drafted 6 years ago
I agree with kg and Shaq the big men nowadays are shooting 3s a lot I miss where we had post moves and athletic centers, Mid range is fine for centers, but 3s are too much
John Garcia but it's still upsetting that power forwards and centers upgrade their game to 3 point shooting like Serge ibaka was fine the way he was then he just upgraded to 3 point shooting, we don't really see inside scoring or post moves from nowadays big men
Well I can agree with you to some extent. Some centers can have a small 3 point game just to add in their arsenal that doesn't they use it often but to me my fav and best centers not in order are.... K-Towns Davis Cousins Whiteside Marc Gasol to some extent even to me he's more of a PF Same with Lamarcus more of a PF Embidd WILL be up there in fact he's if he stays healthy god lord I can't imagine
DankMemes _SANICSpeed it's scary Karl Anthony towns is only 20-21 years old and already putting up big numbers Timberwolves will be amazing future years
No, he's a shooting guard. The Rockets have just been trying him out at the point guard position to see how he does, which is well. But still, he is and always have been a 2 guard
PG is Westbrook huh? He's doing a lot for that team for sure. But man, Curry has a bad shooting night in the Finals and now everyone is hating on him. Westbrook Shooting: FG: 42.6% 3pt: 33.6% Curry: FG: 48.8% 3pt: 41.4% Now I know that Westbrook is KILLING it right now. He's got double the assists and more than double the rebounds. So he's doing a lot for that team, I get it. But eventually, you have to put the ball through that hoop. Curry is just a lot more efficient on offense. Westbrook also has double the turnovers Curry does. OKC is just playing him a lot, maybe too much, because if they don't ride him they don't even win as many games as they are winning. I also realize that Curry is on a much better team than Westbrook. I get that too. But if you ask me, right now, if I'd prefer to start a team with Curry or Westbrook, I'm picking Curry. Why? Because the rules in today's NBA favor Curry. Curry spreads the floor in a way that Westbrook does not. The ball sticks with Westbrook a little more. It's harder to build a team around Curry. But don't take it from me. KD thinks so too.
Qichar It probably costs a lot less to build around Westbrook. That's a guy who genuinely doesn't need another ball dominant player around. Give him one 2 way forward or skilled big (Draymond or Blake) with players that appropriately fill their roles and they'd be perennial contenders. He and KD are ball dominant players which unfortunately gave them a glass ceiling so to speak when there was no Harden to distribute. Curry with a similar roster would be very comparable to Lillard. Great but doesn't impact the game as much as Russ. I'll take Russ everyday.
Embiid is the best on both ends of the court. I will give credit to KAT(arguably also number 1) Cousins and AD. But Embiid is playing on minutes restriction. His stats per 36 minutes are amazing. With him off the floor the sixers have the worst defense, with him on the sixers have the best defense. His impact is significant. Once he gets off of this minute restriction you'll see him put up 20+ ppg, at least 10 boards and 2-3 blocks and a steal a game.
Informational Reality I think I agree, until you get to Dwight and Myles Turner. Turner is definitely going to be really good, but I feel like Whiteside is better than both of them at this point.
There will come a time when Jokic is gonna be in these talks.
+Luka Radulović Jokic gotta improve on his defense though.
Are you a time traver sir?
This comment aged well
Hahahah would you look at that! 😁
And no, I'm not from the future, I just know a thing or two about basketball :)
Hats off to Rasheed Wallace for dressing up like like he's dealing with sports... refreshing.
ntnnot 😁😂😁
The real question is why is Marc Gasol not in this conversation? Honestly he's so incredibly underrated.
hes white lol
Marc Gasol is a top 3 center in the league, he does everything right at both ends of the floor. I can't really think of a more all-around center than Gasol, maybe Anthony Davis.
Simon Anthony Davis aint what you call a center...i'd put him as a forward in a mythical 5 selection..
I think they honestly forgot about him lol. Gasol was 1st team all NBA recently
Spanish and white, doesnt come up with those guys
Shaq is very vocal and passionate about discussing centers or big men.
Only thing he takes seriously.
Amongst so many other things.
Last true back-to-the-basket spending his time in the low post big man in the league.
I must have been high when I made this comment lol
@pius222 Andrew Bynum was I think the last true big man that played in the paint. No jacking up threes for Bynum.
PLEASE. STOP. TALKING. about Deandre being the best center, PLEASE
what because he doesn't have post moves?! Well guess what post moves are irrelevant in todays game. The best Centers are the ones most effective at rolling, rebounding and blocking shots and not hijacking offenses I.E......... DEANDREEEEEEEE
Yes you just helped my point. Embiid is great because he is an all around player amd doesnt have to sit in the post all day unlike a guy like Okafor whl isnt a good player despite his post moves since he cant rebound for defend. Thanks for helping my point food do ur research.
NatCrossdale clips4evaeva you are confused...
i agree cannot hit over 50 percent from the free throw line
Greg Abernathy You clearly dont know your ball DJ is shooting 52 percent from the line this yr.
Charles only agreeing to get Shaq mad

Matt Catalano good list.
Captain free throw .
Deandre is the best defensive center in the league and the numbers prove it.
NatCrossdale clips4evaeva
what numbers exactly? He is not leading in any defensive statistical category. Not rebounds, not blocks, not steals, not defensive rating not defensive win shares, not defensive plus-minus. He is shooting an impressive 52 percent in free throws though.
KG and Sheed are hand in glove fits with the TNT crew
yeah. great atmosphere
KG fits like OJ simpsons gloves
Thay should have a spin off show.
“Say whaaaat” 3:14 roast session begins hahaha
Man chuck and KG always make me rofl. Love ya Chuck. You realize that talking sports can only go so far. Roasting always makes a bad day better lol
If Deandre isn't dunking, he can't score. I feel like in order to be the best center, or even big man, in the league, you have to be a threat at both ends of the floor. Which cases can be made that Deandre is not
he is the most overrated center in the game,without CP3 he is useless cant create his own thing ,I would love to see him play with the mavs lol he would be exposed

+The Star Good point, he did the right thing by staying in Los Angeles. He would have been exposed offensively in Dallas.
exactly zach
Shaq would go for 50 or 60 against deandre
Nox V Shaq in this time would be considered the goat period

Boogie is the best center davis is a PF but davis is the best bigman
started laughing when kevin garnett said "say what?"
I love Shaq's aggression when he's attempting to prove a point lol.
One of the best clips seen to date with all these guys together...hilarious.
03:16 chuck: it’s not a big deal to score on 40 years old man 😂
This aged pretty well. DeAndre best center in basketball? Nah fam that's just the CP3 effect. Look at both Blake and Jordan without CP3
"The level of Basketball is going down..." charles was spot on with that.
Best C in the league is Marc Gasol. Back to the basket, mid range, can shoot 3s, defensive anchor, excellent passer, coachable and can transition to any coaching system. Just cause he's not putting up monster numbers or highlights doesn't mean he's not the best atm.
Probably Boogie, I consider Anthony Davis a PF.
“ I don’t know if he’s a looter in a riot” bars Kenny
DJ is running off of Cp3 batteries... Cp3 doesn't get enough credit
Poor CP3 and his 20 mill a year.
"Man I thought you were asleep." Lol.
I love the chemistry between chuck and KG.
We really forgot someone who is probably the best in his team: Nikola Jokic from the Denver Nuggets. I acknowledge he isn’t great on defense, but he strongly makes up for that by his superior offense
Marc gasol and Jonas valanciusnas are both underrated
I agree with you all the way
As a raps fan, JV's defense is what holds him back
What about Jokic?He is very talented and nobody talks about him like... :D
Marc is definitly underated and Spurs players because they play like team and not like individuals
2 years after they switches teams, and gasol was a huge upgrade both defense and offense
“Come down here and get a bucket chuck” had me DYING
Kenny doesn’t even know what he says half the time he always acts like he’s a genius
Best Centers
1. DeMarcus Cousins ( although he can play the 4) - just wish he would check his emotions more
2. Karl Anthony Towns ( another guy who can play the 4)- amazing player at a young age

No way though is DeAndre Jordan the best center in the NBA, i do have him in my top 10. I didn't put Anthony Davis because to me he is a PF as his main position.
Jonas?
I agree Jonas should be in there instead of Lopez. I would not take Lopez over Jonas in any situation
Rudy Gobert has been killin it this year. Anyone else notice that he is a top 5 Center rn
dvon1097 guys rim defence is insane. He has had some clutch blocks
Leaving off Jokic is a complete joke
Can't stop laughing with this guys! Hahaha smart and dynamic conversations with beeping for cussing stuff too! Great job guys...and chuck? The poor old chuck! Let's keep on CHUCKLING! Hahahah
I'd say Cousins
Steven Adams finally gotta be in this conversation
3:17 Ernie’s laugh 😅😅
I love this combination, makes the show even better then it already is!
"Bring yo ass here see if you can score on me" lmao KG

Just for the record KG it's no big deal to score on a 40 year old man. Say what ? I thought you was sleep! Lol.
I know Nikola jokic isn't the best center but he should at least be mentioned
He is now
I liked this video...it was refreshing
And today we talking about Embiid, Jokic, Ayton, Gobert
A looter in a riot...Cypress hill reference Kenny...likin that
I need me a cuss button like that 😂😂

bro i love garnett.. he's hilarious!
RIP Cliff Robinson, 4:50 much love Respect...
Chuck at 3:19 had me dying!
4:52 I've got one name Kenny : Marc Gasol.
Whiteside most underrated
He's a lil better version of Deandre, no post moves what so ever.
Mystic Mac Not true. And, Whiteside has developed a decent mid range shot. Whiteside is a much better skilled offensive player. Can do all the things DeAndre does, and more versatile.
Mystic Mac you obviously havent watched whiteside
Unfortunately I'm a Heat fan so I know exactly what I'm talking about, watching him every game.
Have you heard of Marc Gasol?
I love that the bigs are shooting threes. It makes them far more important and a threat.
Love dem guys mein !! : )
That man schleep
Marc Gasol
Rasheed "the ball don't lie" Wallace. My man!!
AD a combo of KG and Sheed
Whiteside should definitely be in the conversation. If Cousins can be in it with the team he has Whiteside should be in there to.
What about jokic?
Nikola Jokic is among the best passing centers anyway.
@YES WE CAN even if they in mvp conversation and avg 25 12 9 in playoffs
You the visionary
Well now for sure
Well now....for sure for sure. Nikola Jokic is the best big man in the league. The best passing big man of all time!
sir Charles trolling kg hard
I love in when they roast Barkley. :D
Lol this was a great segment. On the real though Davis or Kat is the best big in the league. Cousins is great but as Kenny was saying, even with a bad team you have to eventually get to the playoffs and he hasn't been there yet and was drafted 6 years ago
Jay Jones but Davis is on a bad team too isn't he?
Listenersnotes Davis made it to the play offs
Northsyde - What you said Anthony Davis made it by beating the Spurs in their last game clinching a playoff spot
How do they not even mention my boy Drummond?
Right now Drummond is underachieving
Vanidas drummond aint a center b. he a potato bag
I did when someone said valincuinis is the 2nd best big man
+balikati Bet you wouldn't say that to his face..he the best rebounder since Rodman lowkey
Marc Gasol. Game is not only about individual numbers. He carries his team night in night out to compete def and of in a beautiful way
Gobert #1 in FG%, #1 in EFG%, #1 in blocks, #1 in rim protection. Not even mentioned in this conversation?
He'll get more recognition when we hit the playoffs or if he miraculously makes the All-star team
I agree with kg and Shaq the big men nowadays are shooting 3s a lot I miss where we had post moves and athletic centers, Mid range is fine for centers, but 3s are too much
Beastking800 None of these guys could shoot that's why they have a problem with it.

Well I can agree with you to some extent. Some centers can have a small 3 point game just to add in their arsenal that doesn't they use it often but to me my fav and best centers not in order are....
K-Towns
Davis
Cousins
Whiteside
Marc Gasol to some extent even to me he's more of a PF
Same with Lamarcus more of a PF
Embidd WILL be up there in fact he's if he stays healthy god lord I can't imagine

Demarcus, and then Valanciunas.
How do you put valuncinuis over Andre Drummond or tristen Thompson?
lol what

Boogie #1 White Side #2
The NBA Times towns is better than white side
Unknown Bangers doesn't mean he can't be better than white side at least he has skills on the offensive end
kawhi lennad no town is not
The NBA Times whiteside is one word and he is no where near the best he can block and dunk that is all, boogie runs the offence
The NBA Times joel and kat are better than whiteside
Lovvvvvve KG one ov my all time fav players ever. 🇬🇧 🇵🇰
Joel and Jarret are my favorite currently
What about Marc Gasol?, he should be in the conversation at least
it's crazy that Anthony Davis is a center. has there ever been a more versatile center?
Informational Reality I think I agree, until you get to Dwight and Myles Turner. Turner is definitely going to be really good, but I feel like Whiteside is better than both of them at this point.
Informational Reality I think Marc Gasol is better than Myles at this point to, but not for long.
Magic Johnson beasted when he was at the 1. And of course Hakeem Olajuwon.
His name was Hakeen Olajuwon... google him
ima have to say the process!
RIP Cliff Robinson
Shaq always speaks the most sense.
Not always. But here he was correct
Big man talk..
