Is Shaw the GOAT center? I think it's between him and Kareem.
>>66444983
Shaw plays LB mate.
Raheem plays LW.
Wilt and Kareem are on another level and it can be argued Hakeem was better
>>66444987
hearty kek
>>66444987
quality kek
>>66444983
Yeah prime Shaq is the GOAT, Kareem is second, then Wilt, then Hakeem
Kareem>Wilt>The Dream>Shaq
Shaq had a brief moment of GOATness, but he fucked up big time.
1. Kareem
2. Hakeem
3. Shaq
4. Robinson
5. Ewing
>I rate Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell
>>66445591
>I don't rate Wilt and Russell
No he wouldn't have won anything without Kobe, Dwyane and the refs (especially against the kings)
I think you mean karl anthony towns you gay wad
>>66444983
>shaq
>kareem
Dream styled on both of those niggas
Shaq can never be the GOAT center, because Hakeem pushed his shit in. Kareem and Wilt have much better arguments IMO.
>>66446178
Wilt played too long ago desu. When youre the only 7 footer in a league full of dudes who wouldnt make a college team in the modern era and has no 3 point line youre obviously going to be a beast
Shaw is a 4x champion, a hall of famer, and has a doctorate in human resource development. Truly the GOAT.
Hakeem and it's not even close.
>>66446220
That's fair.
>>66446220
which is why bill russell is such an overrated cuck
he was one of two players of his era able to play above the rim and yet he had a career FG % of 44%.
>>66446424
Bill Russell wasn't about the offense, he was known for his defense in the paint. Shot-blocking, shot-altering, and generally being tough for smaller players to shoot over. For his era, he was defensive height advantage personified.
>>66446486
Ok great he was deandre jordan/dikembe mutombo
Not even close to the GOAT tier that people always put him at
Much like >>66446220 said, Russell also played too long ago. It gets harder and harder to compare players from eras that are more than 1-2 decades apart.
>>66446565
was meant for >>66446530
Ewing is top 3. It's not his fault Starks and the rest of the Knicks were a bunch of mediocre chokers.
>>66446606
>this is what knickercuckerfags actually believe
Olajuwon schooled Ewing, just like he did Shaq and DRob. Also, Ewing moved like a badly-controlled Muppet. He's not even in my top 10.
>>66446680
>He's not even in my top 10
List pls
>>66446680
Your list is shit then. Ewing did more with less.
>>66446705
>>66446763
Here you go.
1. Kareem
2. Wilt
3. Russell
4. Olajuwon
5. Moses Malone
6. Robinson
7. Yao
8. Duncan
9. Shaq
10.Garnett
If you don't want to count Wilt and Russell, slide 4-10 up two slots, and put Alonzo Mourning at 9 and (gods help me) Bill Walton at 10.
>>66446883
>Duncan
>Garnett
This is centers, not power forwards.
>Shaq that low
>implying Zo was better than Ewing
Your list is fucked up.
>>66446883
>Yao
>>>>>Duncan
>Garnett
>Alonzo
>Walton
the pinnacle of Shaw's greatness

Dude, put Ewing before Walton.

Y'all proved yourselves wrong in this thread.
>>66446883
The only ones definitely better than Ewing on your list are:
Kareem, Hakeem, and Shaq.
Duncan doesn't count because he's a Power Forward. If somehow Duncan does make the center list, how do you put Robinson & Yao above him? That's a laugher.
Even if you included Garnett, being a PF as well, he's still not better.
Debateable: Wilt/Russell
Definitely not: Moses Malone, Admiral
smhtbhfam tier: Yao
>>66445591
>Canadian
>having an opinion as shit as his "country's" beer
Can't say I'm surprised
>>66446883
Objectively incorrect, considering you have two power forwards and Yao ahead of Shaq.
>>66450270
I'd put Ewing ahead of Reed but this list actually doesn't make me want to kill myself
>>66450486
America has terrible beer
Budweiser and Coors are literally watered down piss
>you will never master the ancient sport of beer and ale making
>>66446220
There was actually a good amount of 7 footers/near 7 footers (like artis Gilmore who was actually really good), he played (and routinely out played) bill Russell, he played against Kareem (and blocked his unguardable sky hook twice in one play).
The argument about no 3 line does not make sense, no 3s means an overload in the paint making it harder to operate down low
He was also freakishly athletic, arguable more so than shaq. His vertical, though not officially measured in those times) was at least 40 inches, he was obscenely strong (benched 500 pounds), was a top class track and field star in running events (I think college level, might be wrong). He weighed at least 250, with little fat.
Now I'm not saying he didn't benefit from a competition level below the 80s and 90s, all I'm saying he would have been dominate in any Era. Numerically not as dominate but he is essentially a rich man's shaw

Shaq is definetly one of the most likeable players to ever play in the league. That doesn't mean he's the greatest, just thought I'd throw that in there.
>>66445134
>It has been said that a coach in Nigeria once asked him to dunk and demonstrated while standing on a chair. Olajuwon then tried to stand on the chair himself. When redirected by staff not to use the chair, Hakeem could initially not dunk the basketball
if he started playing before 15, he would've been the guaranteed GOAT
>>66444983
I know it's a troll thread but Kareem is GOAT center and the only true challenge to Michael Jordan as GOAT.
Wilt overrated as fuck and would just be Deandre Jordan in todays NBA
