    Hakeem is the best all around ever and nobody will come close. I don’t care what anyone says.

    Kareem Abdul Jabbar was the greatest center of all-time. He actually had the most indefensible shot in the history of the game. He was a great passer and rebounder and a good if not great defender. Wilt couldn’t do anything but finger roll and dunk. When the centers caught up size wise his offense deteriorated. Jabbar was great all the way until the end. Hakeem was a better all around player than Wilt, although the difference in eras makes it difficult to pick one over the other. Wilt and Shaq were pretty much identical in their physical dominance for their eras. If Wilt played in the same era as Shaq and Hakeem he would be in the 2nd tier of centers. I saw them all play by the way and was a huge LA fan through the Wilt and Jabbar years.
