Best Center in the NBA?

[Spursfan21]

I would have to go with Big Ben. His defensive presence makes teams much better. Just look at Detroit this year. They won't be nearly as dominant as in years past. Amare is also up there as a dominant player when healthy. Shaq, though his career is admirable and his leadership is important, is pretty much washed up. He is becoming more of a liability for his team than the dominant player of old. He looks worse each year. Maybe it's time to hang up the shoes and start advertising for Ben Gay.

Yao very easily

Like who? The Pistons? Wait a minute he doesn't play for the pistons no more. Where have you been? Don't even tell me he made Chicago better. Them standings don't lie. BENGAY WALLACE IS OVERRATED!!! PERIOD.

or you could look at Chicago this year, the team he actually plays for.

give me Dwight Howard all day

[JMarkJohns]

The center position is dead. Yao is one of the few that play the position with anything resembling greatness. Oden will help, but Wallace, Amare, Jermaine, Duncan, Howard... all those who play the position on occasion, are much more of forwards than centers.

BTW, Ben Wallace isn't anywhere near the best center in the NBA.

If Howard is going to groomed as a center, then he's it. If not, then Yao.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Ben Wallace had 0 points and 0 rebounds against the freakin 76ers. That's inexcusable for someone who might be the best center in the NBA.

[John_Salley]

Alonzo Mourning is a better defensive center than Ben
Wallace could ever hope to be. If Zo didn't go down
with his kidney disease, he would have kept on
winning defensive player of the year.

He has won the Defensive Player of the Year Award 4 times which have all occured in the last 5 years. He is the only player in NBA history to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award four times in five years. It doesn't matter that he doesn't score that much because his defense makes up for it.

He won all the awards with the Pistons, but I look forward to see the awards coming while he is with the Bulls now.And yes he will make the Bulls better..


P.S - Stop hating and contribute.(Who do you think is the best C in the NBA? And why)

[Marklar MM]

Yao Ming is probably #1 right now.

[Spursfan21]

Yao Ming is probably #1 right now.

If it werent for Big Ben,Yao would of probably been my first choice..

Yao was a beast until he messed up his foot. Dwight Howard is also making a huge case for best center in the league. My choice would of come down to these two, with me probably picking D-Howard because he has been a beast on the boards and he has been showing off some impressive low post moves..

[dave]

i would consider okafor if the bobcats didnt suck so much

[Sense]

It's between

Howard
Yao
Okafor

Those 3 have been great this season...

I hope your joking.^^^


I don't think there's a clear cut best, but I do think that Yao Ming, Dwight Howard, and Omeka Okafor should be the three up for debate.

[HeatOwnzNba]

Wallace could ever hope to be. If Zo didn't go down
with his kidney disease, he would have kept on
winning defensive player of the year.

Finally! A piston fan who isn't 100% re ed.

[mavsfan1000]

Big Ben has become Big Bust for Chicago.

[Texas_Ranger]

I would pick Howard. He can make a shot, he can dunk, he can jump, he can block, he is just perfect center.

Yao by a landslide, which doesnt say much for the NBA today!
