Taking stock of the technical characteristics of the six centers in the 1990 s, can the prosperity center have only four centers?

There is no doubt that basketball is a giant's sport. A player of average height needs N times of efforts to gain a foothold in the NBA of the highest league level in the world. Even if you can win a seat in the NBA, the shortcomings on the defensive end are extremely obvious. Small players represent Iverson and Thomas Jr. with excellent offensive ability, but the team needs to build a lineup with them as the core and cooperate with the defense system to a certain height. Therefore, NBA center players are often paid more attention by the team in the draft, which is the main reason, because the rebounder wins the world, or the insider wins the world. Even in the era of small balls, there is no doubt about this. It's not that the center is neglected in today's era, but that the truly dominant center has withered. Taking stock of the technical characteristics of the six centers in the 1990 s, can the prosperity center have only four centers?

The American media exposed the list of six dominant centers, which can basically be said to be in line with the situation in various stages of NBA history. Let's take a look at this list and discuss who can take over Howard and become the insider overlord in the era of small ball.

Chamberlain in the 1960s

Russell and Chamberlain have a long overlapping peak career, so Russell is naturally chosen for defense and Chamberlain is undoubtedly chosen for dominance. In the 1960s, Chamberlain won more than half the honors as a center. Russell won only twice, while Chamberlain won six times. The other two were Ansel de and Knicks star Reid. In the 6 1-62 season, Chamberlain created a crazy data performance with an average of 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds in the regular field. Chamberlain has achieved unprecedented success only in the field of averaging points.

Jabbar in the 1970s.

1969, Jabbar entered the NBA as the No.1 pick, and the rookie can contribute 28.8 points and 14.5 rebounds per game. Jabbar, who won the championship in the second year, entered the center with 3 1.7 points and 16 rebounds. In the 1970s, Jabbar won the best center seven times, among which only Bill Walton, moses malone and mcadoo. Not only in the 1970s, Jabbar admired the length of his career and efficient performance. After joining the Lakers, he helped Magic Johnson create an NBA performance moment in the 1980s, and his personal career score ranked first in history.

Moses malone in the 1980s.

Some people may object to putting Moses Malone at the center of rule in the 1980 s. After all, Jabbar still performed efficiently, and Olajuwon eliminated the Lakers from the finals the next year. However, Moses Malone is obviously different from many centers. He is 2.08 meters tall and has excellent rebounding ability in the frontcourt, which is the characteristic of Moses Malone. Coupled with excellent inside finishing ability, his positioning characteristics are similar to Rodman, who won the honor of rebounding king six times. In the 82-83 season, Moses Malone formed an inside combination, and even in the playoffs, he released Fu-Fu-Fu. Moses Malone also achieved his boast by his strong performance in the playoffs and won the MVP in the finals.

Olajuwon in the 1990s

Big Dream was selected by Houston in the draft, when Jordan was the third overall pick. It can be said that all the superstars in the 1990s were suppressed by Jordan, except Olajuwon. Two seasons after Jordan retired, Olajuwon defeated his contemporary superstar opponent, not only David Robinson in the West, but also taught the fledgling O 'Neill a lesson in the finals. Daydream came into contact with basketball late, but his skills are enough to rank among the top three in history in the center position, and even occupy the first place in the footsteps.

O' Neill in the 00' s

The dominance of the "big shark" has long been proved without data. After Jordan, he was the only main core who led the team to win three consecutive championships, which is the best interpretation of O 'Neill's dominance. Exquisite technology, superior strength, inside dunk+excellent small hook technology, it can be said that in O 'Neill's peak period, there is only a short board of free throws.

Howard was in the 10 era

While the league was expecting 23VS24 to appear on the finals stage, Howard kept James out of the finals stage. Howard's offensive skills can't rank among the historical center players, but his defensive skills are what he really relies on to lead the team further. Three consecutive DPOY games, coupled with the shock inside, Howard brought the Magic's "one-star" lineup to the finals.

As Howard gradually stepped down from the peak due to injury, where is the center that the NBA can really catch up with Howard? From the center that broke out in recent seasons, it can be seen that the truly dominant inside line has been broken, Noah has already faded out of the league, Mark Gasol has entered the end of his career, and Jordan Jr. has always been a substitute in the Nets, but Anthony Davis will make a guest appearance at the No.5 position, just with different skills. Jokic and Embiid are the best among the active centers, but they both seem to have some distance.
