Hakeem is the best center ever
Hatesrats™:
As far as modern centers...
No arguments.
Robinson, Ewing & Shaq defo hoild their own aswell.
(+ Robinson & Shaq have the rings aswell)

Hakeem was AMAZING to watch with the "dream-shake" all of his other moves, but he likely would not have ever even gotten a title without MJ retiring the first time.
He schooled Shaq in '95, but Shaw was just a youngster at the time in his first finals.
You have to put Wilt, Kareem, Russell, and Shaq ahead of Hakeem........
I will say, of the centers I have seen play, Hakeem was my favourite to watch play

Thats a tough one. I dunno if there is ONE greatest when it comes to centers. You have one large group basically, with Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, and Shaq. If youre looking at all time, you cant compare them to eachother because the more recent centers would naturally be more athletic and typically better skillwise. But for their time, id Have to give the nod to either Wilt, or Kareem. Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, and even Shaq all had eachother to go against. Which was great to see all these centers match up. But you were never able to say "THIS guy is the best center in the league for this era". With Wilt and Kareem you could say that, for their respective era, they were the best.
