Dude, Battie is the center of the Magic, Howard plays the 4

1. Shaq
LMAO!! No way right now in the year 2006 is Shaq better than Jermaine are you joking? Shaq is still obviousley more efficient down low but Jermaine scores just as well in many differnt ways and he is a wayyyy better defender than Shaq, no way Shaq is as good as JO right now.

Dude Howard plays the 4 the majority of the time.
maybe, but with 20 points and 20 boards give or take a night, hes fucken with everyone thats a center. hell shit on yao so hard, yao will turn into Manute Bol. :)

id rather play againt Jermaine than Shaq... and id rather be trying to block Jermaine than shaq....
and he draws out the defence..

Ok first off not maybe he is a PF and thats ALL he plays, and second of all yeah I would take D. Howard over Brad Miller or Yao but seeing that Howard ISNT a center thats why he wasnt on the list. And Howard is a stud but anyway he aint fuckin w/ JO.

alright you win. ill be back though... :rant:

I agree that Shaq is still a bigger presence no doubt, but how can you tell me he is better now? No way! Shaq had some terrible games in the playoffs I meen some games where he finished with something like 11pts and 6 reb while if Jermaine scores anything less than 20 a game in the playoffs thats considered horrible for him.
right now JO > SHAQ

Yao wouldn't even make my top 10. Dude is too soft to be a 7-footer
I'm goin with Nowitzki. He plays both Center & Power Forward, so he should still count as a Center.

Nah Dirk is a PF 90% of the time and you talk about Yao being soft, Dirk is as soft as a defender as I have seen
-
Id still take Shaq on my team over any other center. JO is more of a PF/C to me anyway...Id take Dwight Howard after Shaq....Howard has a bigtime presence inside and is all over the boards.

I agree but he is a center now so he should be considered one and JO is better than Shaq now. So your telling me you think D. Howard is better than JO??

Wow I understand no hard feelings and I respect your opinion but I am SHOCKED you would take Howard over O'Neal. There is no point in arguing but I dont know anyone that would agree with that. Howard is a lil better Defensively and on the boards but JO still averages 9-10 rebounds a game and is a great defender as well plus he is twice the offensive player Howard is. I meen just watching the 2 play head to head shows who is better JO made Howard look like a different player when they played each other, JO consistently bullied him down low I like Howard alot but imo he's not really close to JO's level.
-
JO vs D. Howard
interior scoring = JO>Howard
perimter scoring = JO>Howard
defense = JO>Howard
passing = JO = Howard
rebounding = Howard>JO
Intangibles = JO > Howard

Dwight Howard is the future of big men in the NBA....The sky is really the limit for this guy, at 7'1 and hes ripped as a muthafucker....Only 20 years old. He could become the only player ever to average 20 PPG and 20 RPG in a season. Even tho JO is an allstar, he has never been or ever will be considered the best player at his position.

Well like I said now that JO is a center he will be considered the best player at his position. I am sorry but hes better currently than Shaq or Yao and its OBVIOUS!
-
Carlisle said today that Al will be playing the 3, and sometimes will play the 5 so JO does not have to be the center.

Damn that sucks cause I want Granger to start at the 3 and Al at the 4 and Jermaine at the 5.

Dude first off I never said he was the best center of all time lol. I just said if he plays center THIS year he would be the best center in the league and thats the truth. Shaq isnt as good as JO anymore.
-
Shaq is and will be the best center till he retires and last season proved it. JO is nice though. Looks like the Pacers got a good chance this season now that they got Al Harrington back.
-
Chris Mihm is the best C in the NBA. :P
-
Even if JO was playin center and was doing a great job at it I would never call him the best center in the league, he just doesn't have that center aura you need to be considered a real center to me. I would never call Duncan the best center either.
-
When JO is healthy is a top ten player and anybody that cant see that hasnt been watchin the NBA hard enough. But last year what did he play 42 games or something? Hes gotta improve that...if he keeps getting hurt hes just gonna decline, and maybe never reach his potential, hopefully JO hasnt already peaked...

I agree completely. He has to stay healthy this year.

Yeah I have lived in Cali my whole life.

As long as Yao continues what he was doing the second half of the season last year he will be the top guy in the 5 spot.
-
niggaz be hatin on yao cause he's not much fun to watch

No, they like to rehash what Stephen A Smith has been screaming to them for the past four years. One thing Yao wasn't was soft last year.
-
^^no he wasnt soft at all last year he just wasnt healthy the whole year either. Look at his stats last year they were just as good as Bosh and JO's stats. Yao is finally turning into the player we expected him to be.

nah JO is way better than Yao if JO plays the 5.

yoa ming is overrated

Averaging 25 and 12 the last half of the season is overrated? You need to stop posting high.
-
everybody hates on Yao just because he's from China. But he is easily one of the best centers in the league right now. That doesnt mean he's some great player, its just that the center position is probably the weakest (talentwise) position in the league right now.

He's one of the true centers in the league. Most teams have power forwards playing at center and now Indiana and is doing the same thing.

LMAO@Whoever said Dirk as best center...
As of now...
J. O'Neal, Yao Ming, Ben Wallace > Shaq
But there is a future dominant center in the NBA, and he goes by Andrew Bynum...Lets not forget, Kwame will finally be starting at his most suitable position this year in the triangle at center, so this may very well be his breakthrough season...Things are looking good for the Lakers with the bigs...PeACe

Come on Nik! First off the way you put it makes it seem like you think JO is even with Yao and Big Ben! LMAO! I thought you of all people would know JO is better than Yao and Ben lol. And come on Nik I admire the pride you have for your team, but please never bring up Kwame or Bynum again in the same sentence as Jermaine.
-
You guys, Dwight Howard is the best REAL center in the L.......NIK, you didnt even mention him ???
Just wait till the season starts boys, DH is gonna tear shit up....Dude is only 20, and hes a fuckin BEAST already....He will dominate the L at the center position for years to come.

nah listen to the majority, you are the ONLY person that thinks Howard is better than JO, its fuckin ridicolous. I guess that would meen Howard is better than Bosh to also lol and thats not true either. Howard is nice, but JO is on a whole different level.

First of all, genius, I NEVER said Jemrinae O'Neal was equal to Yao Ming...Second off, I didn't place Jermaine O'Neal in the same sentence as Kwame and Bynum, I said they are the FUTURE centers of the NBA, come on now, I thought YOU were smarter than that...

I believe Duncan will be used at center with the Spurs this year, and if Jermaine O'Neal is going to be primarily a center this year, then top 5 (as of now) should be something like:
1.Tim Duncan
2.Jermaine O'Neal
3.Yao Ming
4.Ben Wallace
5.Shaquille O'Neal
However, this list could change by All-Star break...The center position is dying in the NBA, and I'm excited about Bynum because he is one of the last pure centers out there, being trained by a legend...People saying great things about him, and he looked convincing in summer league...Remember the age factor as well... Kwame is also only 24 and finally being used in the best position for him...PeACe

I'm curious if JO is durable to play 82 games at center, that's the big question.

Yes it is! It is a big IF, but I think he can do it
