Well, Dwight wasn't LeBron's b**** in '09 or last Tuesday. Ewing > Howard not close The "new" defense argument is laughable. Defenses aren't doing anything different... except against Yao at least.
I'm actually quite surprised that the poll results are like that. Generally threads like this are ruled by nostalgia.
90's had minimum 8 better centers than today. So any way you slice great vs subpar, 90's wins by a mile.
