I think you forgot the green font, but in case you didn't, the answer is anyone, and everyone. He is after all the career leader in BLKs, and it's not close. He has over 550 more than second place Dikembe Mutombo. He was 2-time DPOY and 9 time all defense. Olajuwon and David Robinson were probably two of the only centers in NBA history you could leave on the island against any guard in the league and they would lock them down. Olajuwon was an amazing athlete with the quickness of a guard, but the size of a center. I miss the beauty of his game. BNM
That just reinforces my opinion that analytics are usually less useful than the eye test. Barkley was a great scorer no doubt, but Malone had a much bigger impact on his team and on the league for a much longer period of time. Before Duncan, Malone was nearly unanimously regarded as the best PF of all-time. I don't recall hearing Barkley mentioned in that vein often, if ever. https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/tiny.fcgi?id=c8njD Tell me that isn't lopsided in Malone's favor? And as you mentioned, it got worse the deeper they got into their respective careers.
I have to say A because the other squads are all past their prime. I mean it's fair to say MJ has lost a step or five. If it's when everyone was at their prime the answer is obviously B and it's not close.
This question might as well be "How old are you?" A - 15 - 25 B - 35 - 45 C - 25 - 35 A D option with Kareem, Dr. J, Oscar Robertson, Pistol Pete, and George Gervin or whatever would be "I am 45 - 55"
Growing up Drexler was my favorite so I ended up becoming a Rockets fan and Olajuwon became my new favorite player. He was like Sabonis in his prime but better. The GOAT center in my bias eyes.
None of the above. Westbroke makes me sick, Michael Doodad was a classless jerk, and Shaq should have fouled out in the 1st half of every game.
If you're 45 - 55: Magic Jordan Dr. J. Bird Kareem If you're 55 - 65: Oscar Jerry West Elgin Baylor Russell Wilt If you're older than dirt: Bob Cousey Bill Sharman Paul Arazin Bob Petit Dolph Shayes BNM
Lol, he was originally on my Old as Dirt team, but got bumped when I moved Petit from 55 - 65 to Old as Dirt and shifted Shayes from PF to C. BNM
