Who is the best center of all time in the minds of fans?
American media BasketballForever recently launched a vote for the best center in history to netizens, and the centers who reached the finals were O'Neal, David Robinson, Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, and Jokic.
The centers who reached the final four were O'Neal, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, and in the end, O'Neill and Abdul-Jabbar met in the final.
In the fans' vote, O'Neill defeated Abdul-Jabbar by a clear margin to become the best center in the fans' minds all-time.
Peak O'Neill has terrifying dominance under the basket, and the lethality under the basket is huge.
Abdul-Jabbar has a longer career, and "Sky Hook" is also an unsolvable skill, but compared to O'Neal's violent dunk, in terms of visual impact, Abdul-Jabbar's Sky Hook is naturally not as good as O'Neal's basket dunk.
Compared with honor and historical standing, Abdul-Jabbar still ranks higher than O'Neill in most of the media. Abdul-Jabbar ranks second in all-time scoring with 6 MVPs, 5 championships, 2 FMVPs. O'Neal is 1 MVP, 4 championships, 3 FMVPs.
Of course, after all, Abdul-Jabbar was a fan in the seventies and eighties, plus the media was not developed in that era, and the fans who watched him play were at least forty or fifty years old. O'Neill is a more modern centre-forward with younger fans.
Who do you think is the No. 1 center in NBA history?
