Not surprisingly, the two guys considered the best of big men to ever play the game both played for the Mavericks, James Donaldson and Shawn Bradley. If anybody dares say Wilt, Russell, Kareem or Shaq, they were all flukes that were surrounded by more talented teammates, or they got bailed out by the refs. Here are the career numbers of the true giants of the game:
Donaldson -- In 14 seasons, he averaged 8.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.
Bradley -- in 12 seasons, he averaged 8.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and an astounding 2.5 blocks per game.
Donaldson was a slightly better low-post scorer and rebounder, but Bradley played in a different era with more athletic players, and he still managed to be a more intimidating defensive presence by averaging nearly 3 blocks per game, and helping to anchor the frontline of the great late nineties Maverick teams that ran roughshod over the league.

Jon Koncak. Ends this ing discussion game, set, and match.
You fluke Mavs fans are incredible. An all-time great centers poll and there's no mention of Uwe Blab. What a bunch of flukes.
Rasho Nesterovich
At least spell his name right- Nesterovic.
Only a blue chip #1 overall drafted by MJ (the greatest of all time) player like KWAME BROWN can seriously be considered for this argument.
We are talking about the best centers of all time. Not ty centers who were flukes, made lucky shots, and got all the calls.
This is a ing Spurs board and you can't talk about great centers without including the Whopper.
Duh. The human highlight reel, Shawn Bradley.
Spurs fans and MFFLs should be able to agree on this. Uwe Blab!
Shawn Bradley had mad game, but I voted for him because he was in Space Jam.
The worst part of SpaceJam was the fact that they stole Shawn Bradley's basketball "power"...the second worst part was when he got his "power" back and proved it by doing the weakest, most unathletic dunk ever. That movie was a fluke.
I think the worst part of Space Jam was that the Bobcats did not exist yet to have their top 5 all time dominant big man have his powers stolen by the aliens. So the Bobcats are a fluke for taking so long to actually exist.
