Duncan has more accomplishments but Hakeem was more talented.

Hakeem and half the NBA in the 90's would have more accomplishments if it wasn't for one man.... the real king

"Why is it a joke? You want to refute my point? That is nowhere close to a joke my friend, thats like saying Kobe bryant isn't one of the greatest centers of all time."

I think you meant Kobe is one of the best 2 guards ever.

The joke is that you said Hakeem might be the greatest center ever. I can name 3 off the bat who get higher billing, Wilt, Russell and Kareem.

The best center I've ever seen, maybe. Hakeem and Shaq are neck and neck. But the greatest ever.....NO.

Wilt and Russel had their stats inflated due to the time they were playing, Kareem, well you got me there.

Actually, if you really want to be critical of the era, Wilt's and Russell's stats would be more impressive if blocks were an official stat. That would knock down some of Hakeem's accomplishments if they totaled blocks.

Legend has it that Wilt once had unofficially 20 blocks in a game. I wish I could remember where I heard that. I think it was a blog talking about the era.

Yeah, and Bill Russell's stats were not inflated at all, especially scoring. He never even averaged 20 points a game in a season, and I believe he was a career 15/16 PPG. As for Hakeem, you can make a case for him being a top 5 all-time center, but definately not the best. I would put Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell,, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Moses Malone ahead of Hakeem.

Bring up Shaq if you want, but maybe you should see the 95 finals where dream swept shaq's team, and don't give me the bull of shaq wasn't in his prime, they took out Jordan's bullsm

I don't even consider Shaq a top 5 center, but I would put him in the bottom half of the top 10.

Except for 2003 of course. 2 blocks shy of a quadruple double is not taking a back seat.
