Don't make fun of Pat Burke. Didn't you see that 30 foot 3 in Round 1? That dude's got skeelz! Jahidi White is cool too, hehe.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Yao is good, but it can be debated that Camby is better.</div>It can't. Yao is better offensively, and almost as good defensively.
Yao is defenitely better than Camby, he just finished his 4th year averaging 23 ppg and 10.2 RPG, when he was drafted, they thought he would be a bust, and he isn't even in his prime YET! Marcus Camby was sittin on the deep end of the bench in his 4th year, Yao is not a pussy, he bulked up and now that he did, when he is in the paint , He WILL score. People who put Yao at 5th, has got to be the most retarded person in the world, the man even got 3rd all-team, he shouldn't go any lower than 3rd place.Edit: Whoever puts Big Z in front of Yao, should stop taking pills.

You've got to be on crack to say Eddy Curry is better than Alonzo. </div>Another reason why I hate making top lists. I ALWAYS leave someone out lol. Switch mine to Zo at 9 and Curry at 10. I agree with you. And you are not being a homer by the way, your team is in the championship, with Zo being a very important contributor, one of the leagues top shot blockers still, and he's a future HOF.But if Curry could somehow learn to rebound and play at least a little defense, he could be a very special player in this league. Oh yeah, he also needs to lose that weight again. The Eddy Curry of Chicago was scary and somewhat dominant in the offensive post. One reason I hated playing the Bulls last year.

He's 6'8". and Jaron Collins is the back-up Center. nba.com may have it one way, but i've seen on other sites, and in the pre-game line-ups on tv, Okur is listed as a C. and since when is memo my "boy". espn lists him as a FC and yahoo sports lists him as a Center.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Yozo @ Jun 5 2006, 02:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>It can't. Yao is better offensively, and almost as good defensively.</div>In my opinion Yao isn't even close defensively. He is too slow. Camby is shorter but gets 2 more rebounds and 2 more blocks per game, as well as a steal. I'm way more impressed watching Camby play D. Yao can score more and that's his only advantage. He is a better offensive player but I believe Camby is better at D. And I think that Camby is a lot closer to Yao's offense than Yao is to his defense. That's just my opinion. I think it can definetly be debated. Yao isn't much much better than Camby, but he may have the edge since Camby is injury prone.Also, talking about who is a center and who's not...If Mehmet has played center for a while he can be considered a center. Also, centers that are short can also be called centers if that's their position and they played like one. Charles Barkley was 6'4 or 6'6, is he a shooting guard, no... height doesen't really mean much. Kurt is a center, Mehmet is a center.
