    Is the list of centers so short that we have to start including PF's?? lol

    I wouldn't put him on this list...yeah he's 7 somethin, but he's not considered a center so I can't put him in.

    My list would consist of:

    Hakeem
    Shaq
    D Rob
    Ewing
    Kareem
    Rusell
    Wilt
    Walton
    Moses

    .....and I think that's it?

    Only 9 great centers that we remember. Well I'm sure there's more (Mikan?) but I haven't seen thier games or heard thier stories so I can't really put them in.

    I'm going to exclude players I didn't grow to watch play live. I think it only makes sense if you seen 'em play live, not some highlight mixes.

    1. Hakeem
    2. Shaq
    3. Ewing
    4. David Robinson
    5. Zo

    This is a good list, only change I'd make is switch Russel and Kareem and add Nate Thurmond to the lower half of the list somewhere (homer pick).
