    I believe in the Bible, so we all came from two people in my view. It's a stupid argument that I will continue to have with you, but I am right. American born white centers are worthless.

    Two time defensive player of the year, one-time allstar, all-time NBA leader in blocks per game.

    Dude was 7'4 and had a wingspan that seemed to blanket the court. Absolutely no talent on the offensive end, but just smothering on the other end.

    He's the poster child for what every utterly talentless 7+ footer center could become if they work hard and know their role.

    Does he belong in the conversation with Bill Walton? No. But if we're talking about Brad Miller, sure.

    Again, American born white centers are worthless. Have there been good one's? Absolutely, just as there have been bad black centers. But I think, and so does anyone who has watched the NBA game, that good American born white centers are easily the exception and not the rule. Please give me the name of the last one you would have drafted in the top 8 or so?

    I absolutely don't think he will be anywhere near as good as people think, but I also think he will be a PF

    he is 7th among centers in WS in the NBA, where does he need to be for you to think he isnt worthless?

    There is another factor in this equation. First, most the U.S. born white guys are playing roles of playmakers or at most, PFs. You change the scenario to white U.S. born big men, and that list can be endless. Bird, McHale, Chambers, Love, Lee, etc. etc.

    He has been in the league for 6 years. he has career averages of 5/4. If that's what you want in a center then great. We differ on this as well

    True, however even now how many really good big men are there?

    Love
    Lee
    I know I am missing some, but there aren't that many

    It's not me that is deciding

    Love and Lee are both listed as PF's by the NBA

    Lee played Center in New York and the league has changed. How many true centers are even dominating the game right now?
