Here is my statistical analysis of the Nba’s best Center’;again using a formula of:ppg,rpg,apg,over a player’s career:
1-Wilt Chamberlain-57.4-Who is the best Center of all time? It’s hard to argue with Wilt.He averaged 30.1ppg,22.9rpg!,and 4.4apg.He also averaged 50.4ppg,and 27.2rpg for an entire season during 61-62,not to mention scoring 100 points in a game!!!!
2-Bill Russell-41.9
3-Kareem Abdul-Jabaar-39.4
4-George Mikan-39.3-The Nba’s first superstar.
5-Shaquille O’Neal-38.5
6-Walt Bellamy-36.2
7-Alex Groza-35.6-Groza played only two season’s in the early 50’s,but they were two Spectacular seasons!

Dude, this just won’t work.
You have to realize that
a) rebounds were super-inflated before the ABA merger (Elgin Baylor, all 6’5 of him, averaged 18rpg 2 straight years.)
b) competition was much weaker and thinner back in those days, so it’s not really a fair comparison to go straight by the numbers.

Seems like you put a lot of work into that though.

I think ch15 doesn’t like it because Dwight Howard isn’t at the top lololol. I love messing with you man.

Because we all know only stats can determine best player ever…

[ch15r36isParticipant]

…don’t like any list that puts Alex Groza, Neil Johnston, Jeff Ruland and Zelmo Beatty as top-25 centers of all-time.
