Also Tim Duncan should never be on a list above Hakeem. Its not close. Duncan was a great player whole played much his career as a role player in a great system. Hakeem WAS the system
The case against he only won 2 instead of 3 or 4. I don't think it's Duncan, Kobe should not be in there because he had that tragic accident. Kobe is 11th or 12th in reality and shouldn't have gotten that bonus. Latter can duke it out with KD and Curry and Jokic. Guys like Russell and Wilt should go down a little due to the game not having that many players back then. The number of two end players has increased dramatically.
Shaq isn't even in the conversation for top 3 centers, imo. That list is Wilt, Kareem, and Dream. 4th would be Robinson and Shaq in a push. Shaq had no defensive finesse, no midrange game, abysmal FT%. Zero DPOY. Career essentially died at the age of 30. Shaq is big time overrated. Keep in mind, Robinson didn't start the NBA until 24. That's 4 years of stats that he did not accumulate compared to Shaq.
As someone said, if it were just who is the better player, I'd definitely have Dream over Shaq, Duncan and Curry. However, factoring in career stats and titles, I would still have him top 10.
I’m taking bill russell out. Dude is the most overrated nba player ever. no offensive ability, played on stacked team in small NBA.
