with Ewing in seattle now,How do the centers in the west rank?is the dream still better than Ewing right now?post thoughts ------------------ Eddie for three...yesssssssssssss..holy mother
Always has been, and always will be. There is no argument except a useless attempt to make one by a Ewing fan. The stats head to head and wins head to head speak for themselves, I think. ------------------
1. Shaq 2. Robinson 3. Hakeem 4. Ewing 5. Sabonis 6. Dudley I don't think there's any really DOMINANT centers in the West (Shaq excluded) - there's a lot of young guys who have yet to really prove themselves (LaFrentz/Cato/Dampier) and a bunch of ageing stars who hold sway right now! Dream will definitely be able to contribute more than he did last year with his breathing ailments behind him! ------------------
Ewing whipped Hakeem last year like a red headed step child. (apologies to Slim Pickens) ------------------
There aren't very many dominating centers, period. I might also mention Kandi in LA. He has more potential then Cato, Lafrentz, and Dampier. ------------------
One game Hakeem didn't play vs. New York. The other he was suffering from a horrible breathing problem, and Ewing managed to score just 16 points on him. He scored 14 on Shaq, and 25 on Alonzo Mourning. Did he whip them too? ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

Ewing IS better than Hakeem right now. Only a dumb-ass would say Ewing was better than Dream before Dream's body went to see the spirit in the sky. Ewing outperformed Hakeem I think for the past two years. Everybody needs to quit making Hakeem out to be all-star material now. He's just not. Period. But is arguably the best center ever (it's a legit debate between Dream, Abdul-Jabbar, and Chamberlain). ------------------ Don't anybody ever suggest again that we sign Tracy Murray to a deal.
Hakeem is definitely the best center ever, but Ewing is better right now. But so is Cato, so that's not saying much. ------------------ "The only problem is I always think of the guitar player from Dokken when I hear his name." -Traj, on the possibility of George Lynch joining the Rockets.
Did somebody really say that Kandi has more potential than Cato. That has got to be the stupidist thing I have ever heard. Olowakandi is one of the slowest moving centers in the nba that cant shoot, rebound, play d, or pass the ball. ------------------
You guys are forgetting Sean Bradley ( can't say I blame you though ) ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
I don't care because Hakeem has 2 rings and Ewing has none! ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and b****-slap the motherfuc@er upside the head!
Ewing is better then Hakeem..........at breathing properly at the moment! ------------------ Miggidy Markell says: 1. Eastcoast is da sh*t 2. Rockets rule 3. Hip/Hop is dope 4. Buy the new Ruff Ryders album! Miggidy Markell is watching Stay STRAPPED & WATCH ya back or be Assimilated.
Id still take olajuwon over ewing.Despite the fact that he's in the twilight of his career guys who drive the lane still have that intimidation factor when he's in the game.Olajuwon will have a steady final season. ------------------
Only a dumbass would argue that Ewing dominated Dream over the past two years. Ewing hasn't even been healthy over the past two seasons. Please don't try and start a Ewing vs. Dream debate. You will lose and lose badly. ------------------
agree, agree , agree... 98/99 Ewing had injuries ... 99/00 Hakeem injuries .... Can we correctly judge at this stage of their careers who is better ? I don't think so! Prior to that?.......... Let's not even go there, anyone w/basketball knowledge would know that Hakeem has totally SMOKED Ewing. ------------------ Life moves pretty fast, If you don't stop and look once in a while you might miss it!! ...

My grandma can run faster than your grandma. This thread is pathetic. ------------------ What are "props" and where did that word come from?
DrNuegebauer, I don't feel Dudley is the six best center in the west. Why do you feel Dudley is the sixth best center in the west? The guy doesn't have an offensive game and his Free Throw shooting is horrible. Kelvin Cato is five times better than Dudley. Micheal Olawakandi and Shawn Bradley are better than Dudley. ------------------
Kandi will be good. like all experts said...it will take time though. i see him as a level under shaq/hakeem/kareem/etc. which puts him with moses malone/mutumbo/etc. if he really develops well he could get into the most elite group of centers
DJ, In case you didn't notice, there was a smilie by Dudley. It was a joke. VJ, Kandi=Moses Malone??? What? ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi? Draftsource.net ClutchTown.com 4th Friday of August= Rocket Day 1999-Steve Francis 2000-Maurice Taylor
