    I would hardly call Horace Grant a center.

    I can't see who you're talking about. Some guy in red is blocking him.

    Shaq would have made a nice power forward upgrade to Kelvin Cato... ;)

    Steve Francis
    Cuttino Mobley
    Jim Jackson
    Shaquille O'Neal
    Yao Ming

    Dynasty... :grin:

    Shaq is a very humble guy.

    Hakeem is one of the best African American center ever.

    Yao couldnt even carry Olajuwons dirty socks. Olajuwon in his prime would foul yao out in 5 minutes due to his speed and agility alone. Shaq is a obese moron who noone respects anymore.

    Shaq has dissed a few players in his time, even Howard. But Shaq always gives mad props to YAO. He has huge respect for YAO, i think it goes beyond the court.

    I think it was when yao dropped 35 on his bunyens a couple of times in Miami. 52 games where Yao was truly dominant, sucks it was so short lived. Forsooth...

    Yao's quality as a person is greater than him as a basketball player, even his quality as a basketball player is already very high. He earn repects from everybody...fans, teammates, competitors, couches and owners!

    Watch the 2nd video. It's really worms (another voice was saying so in Chinese). Reminds me of that T-mobile commercial.

    3rd video, it's not snake juice but really strong wine called snake wine.

    Man, I am bored.

    On average in non-rockets polls Hakeem is ranked around the 4th best center.

    I think it was all about their first game when skinny chinese dude wasn't afraid of this monster despite being a rookie and showed him that he was a man. Actually, just a few guys in this league were able to show him that (Zo, Deke, Big Ben) but all of them were oldschool, and this guy wasn't.

    Hakeem is actually the third. He's behind Wilt and Kareem for sure and his matchup with Shaq is almost even. Dream was a better player, but Shaq achieved more because of time when he played. He didn't win anything in 90's but he was simply amazing in Dark Ages, were any of these supercenter would win around 3-4 rings. Russell is number five, he was a great champion, but he played in All-Star team that was made because of Auerbach ability to use all weak spots in NBA rules in his days and he was able to make a huge contribution to his Celtics team. He wasn't such good as Wilt or Kareem was but he was the first The Heart of a Champion guy
