What were the skill sets of each of the top 4 centers of the 90's plus Mourning and Mutombo?

When it comes to that 90's era when our fathers watched the game, it was a completely different era than it is now. It was a time when Jordan ruled the championships and the four major centers ruled the game. The pace of the NBA game was slow, filled with intense physical confrontation, and thus the quality of inside players was much better than now, such as the next four centers we will talk about, as well as the interior of the two defensive heroes.

1, Olajuwon Career averages: 21.8 points, 11.1 boards, 3.1 caps, 1.7 steals

? Technical characteristics: delicate footwork, good offense and defense

Speaking of Olajuwon, the first thing that comes to mind is the dream footwork, but in fact, this can only be said to be Olajuwon's player era of the most glittering point, rather than the only flash point. The offensive end of Olajuwon can be any kind of way he wants to launch the attack and then end the round, including but not limited to the low back or high face box, and even after receiving the block to deal with the ball are not a problem.

2, O'Neal Career averages: 23.7 points, 10.9 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.3 caps

? Technical characteristics: talent crushing, brutal

Speaking of O'Neal, unlike Olajuwon's comprehensive, O'Neal has absolute strength and weight advantage, as well as the flexibility that does not match his weight. At the same time, he is also the most consistent with people's traditional concept of the existence of the center? A dominant basketball player who is unstoppable. He can choose to use unmatched power to directly destroy you, but also with soft hands and flexible footwork to throw you off, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the existence of the four major centers in the most inexplicable.

3, Robinson

? Career averages: 21.1 points, 10.6 boards, 3.0 caps, 1.4 steals

? Technical characteristics: can run and jump, only fast

In fact, Robinson should be regarded as one of the most unlike the center in these a few. As a 7-foot man, Robinson's weight is only 107 kilograms, is the lightest of several inside, but also because of this, Robinson's face box play is the most mature of several big center, he is very good use of their feet and speed to the opposite side of the center to transfer out of the basket and then solve the battle. He was also the highest single-game scorer of the four centers, having scored 71 points in a single game. But also a good interpretation of the sentence? The world's martial arts, only fast and unbreakable?

4, Ewing

? Career average data: 21.0 points, 9.8 boards, 2.4 caps, 1.0 steals

? Technical characteristics: perfect center template, comprehensive skills

As the former King of New York, and the only uncrowned king of the four major centers, Ewing's career seems to have been less than perfect. As one of the most versatile of the four centers, Ewing has had a good career either on the backboards, in the face-offs, or in the mid-range. On the court, Ewing is dedicated to both offense and defense, and his style of play is unassuming. Maybe he is not the most powerful of the four centers, but he must be the best universal, the team needs the most.

5, Mutombo ? Career average data: 9.8 points, 10.3 boards, 2.8 caps

? Technical characteristics: cap maniac, defensive gate

Mu uncle, the founder of the finger wagging, his defense and cap is probably the best existence in several big centers. He has four DPOYs and three cap kings in his career, and averaged 4.5 caps per game in his peak season. Although his average cap data is not as good as Olajuwon, in the history of the cap list is only second to Olajuwon, but there is one thing we have to mention: Uncle Mu's career average time on the field is 30.8 minutes, and Olajuwon is 35.7 minutes, simple and rough conversion, the number of the same time cap or even Uncle Mu to be more than a chip. In other words, even if Uncle Mu's cap power even if not more than the dream, the two people at least is also the existence of equal.

6, Mourning

? Career average data: 17.1 points, 8.5 boards, 2.8 caps

? Technical characteristics: iron blood tough guy, team cornerstone

Monin is the shortest of these centers, but also the most tough style of play. With less than two meters one height in the basket to play a piece of heaven and earth, his success comes from his solid underhand and tough style, on the court every ball must fight, never slack, off the court is also always eager to win. 00-01 season, he was found to have kidney disease, in 02-03 for kidney transplant surgery. After the surgery, all the doctors diagnosed that his basketball career will end, but he did not, but also staged a return of the king of the show, 05-06 season with the team to win the championship. This also shows his tough guy character. Maybe Mourning won't be the greatest, but as long as he's on the court, he's a shot in the arm for the team, leading them forward.

In that era, in fact, there are a lot of excellent linemen, just with the change of the times they gradually fade light, but their story will always be there.
