#1 \| 1224 days ago marcus_nyce (+)	I think, mano y mano (I'm not sure what that means? Hands? Man?... Whatever.), in their primes, The Dream would have been the man. You could have thrown in The Chief, Walton and Moses as well. In their "primes." Nice poll. Hakeem Olajuwon

#2 \| 1223 days ago qtowndogg (+)	11 championships in 13 years would be really nice. Bill Russell

#3 \| 1223 days ago ojekeme1 (+)	Wilt with Lebron on the wing... OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wilt Chamberlain

#4 \| 1222 days ago DeeRigga (+)	THIS to me is the hardest question to answer...just by the names on this list, you have to second-guess ANY choice you make, not because it would be bad, but you can be BETTER! I pick Hakeem just due to his speed and agility...but I'm really not sure. Every one of these men (plus Moses Malone, Ewing, Parrish, McHale and Duncan, even if they are listed as forwards, and old school like Gilmore) make this the one question in NBA trivia the HARDEST to get RIGHT or WRONG Hakeem Olajuwon

#5 \| 1212 days ago dbaker (+)	11 championships speaks for itself Bill Russell

#8 \| 573 days ago Pfctaf (+)	Having been privileged to watch all of these centers play, I pick Bill Russell. The epitome of a team player with smarts. Bill Russell

#10 \| 548 days ago godlyke_soilder (+)	BILL RUSSELL hands down over all of those chumps, he dominated Wilt, and Wilt played against the likes of Russell and Kareem, and Im sure he would be able to stop Shaq and Hakeem, in their prime.

#11 \| 475 days ago RaiderSteeler15 (+)	Everyone says Bill Russell because he has 11 rings... In the Bill Russell Era, the NBA was a Small league meaning a team like the celtics didn't have to worry about competing with alot of NBA teams. I'll go with Hakeem the Dream... He'll eat the Centers of the NBA today alive with his "Dream Shake"... Hakeem had real challenges in his career and he overcame those obstacles by being a number 6th seed in the NBA in 1995 and sweeping the Orlando Magic who was the best team of the 1994-95 season... Hakeem Olajuwon

#12 \| 448 days ago jaysinw (+)	Russell was a great player and I am sure he could match up to the Akeem, but looking at the poll and looking back how easy it was for Akeem to handle Shaq in the finals. I would have to say in their prime either is a perfect pick but Akeem could score from more places on the court. Hakeem Olajuwon

#13 \| 388 days ago alainpeartree (+)	For the record- Russell never dominated WILT!!!!! he just had a superb cast on those Celtic Teams- take away any one of those cogs and the Celts dont win 11 rings- the most unforgettable name not on this list is David "Admiral' Robinson!!!

#14 \| 318 days ago bufordrr (+)	KAREEM........ Kareem Abdul Jabbar

#15 \| 313 days ago jjh8857 (+)	Yeah Ill go PF Malone SF James C Abdul-Jabbar PG Magic SG MJ Kareem Abdul Jabbar

I disagree!! Bill Russell "Never" dominated Wilt in a game! Even Bill Russell admits that. Bill Russell once said, " he felt good just to be able hold Wilt Chamberlain to 50pts in a game". Also, no player in the history of the NBA has ever scored 100pts in a game. In fact, it's a Guinness book of world record. Also, the NBA's foul line was pushed back to where it is because of Wilt. So, check your facts before you start disrespecting the great Wilt Chamberlain. A.K.A. "The Big Dipper"!! Wilt Chamberlain

Hakeem is the most VERSATILE offensive center ever, I think without a doubt. Russell and Chamberlain are the toughest and most dominant to deal with overall. Bill Russell
