What are the legendary centers in NBA?

Bill russell, one of the top ten centers in NBA history, changed a basic concept of basketball with his fabulous defensive ability and blocking skill. Russell is 2.06 meters tall, which is not high for a center. But his physical fitness is excellent: 100 meters, 10.06 seconds. He is very explosive and can easily touch the upper edge of the backboard. In Celtic, Russell 1 1 won the NBA championship, including 8 consecutive championships, creating the "Celtic dynasty" or "Russell era". His hook shot can open the bow left and right, making it impossible for opponents to guard against it. When defending, he always waits for the opponent to shoot before jumping, and then fans the ball like a volleyball as the basketball rises, or shoots into his own frontcourt to let his teammates launch a fast break. Unfortunately, in his time, NBA officials did not count the number of blocked shots of players. 1959, he and Chamberlain, the "basketball emperor", won rebounds for 35 years in their first confrontation, and also won 5 1 rebounds in a game. Secondly, Jabbar's hook shooting skill is the most worth learning for Yao Ming. Jabbar's elegant and sharp sideways hook shot has become an unprecedented swan song in NBA history. The nickname "Karim Abdel-Jabbar" is well known among basketball fans all over the world. From 65438 to 0989, when Jabbar retired, he ranked first in the NBA with nine main data, including a total score of 38387. 2. 18 meter Jabbar not only inherits the strength of the traditional center, but also shows the sensitivity, elegance and versatility that were rare in the past. 1980 When Jabbar played in the fifth season of the Lakers, the Lakers won the world-famous "Magic" Johnson with the "No.1 pick". Since then, talented center Abdul-Jabbar and talented guard Johnson have established the dominance of the Lakers for nearly a decade. In the past five years (1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988), with the help of Magic Johnson, Jabbar won five championships for the Lakers and created one. Thirdly, Shakui O 'Neill is the greatest strongman in the history of basketball for a hundred years. He is not only 2.16m tall, but also weighs close to140kg. He can sprint like a sprinter, jump like a high jumper, and of course he can jump and dunk under the pressure of two or three people like a weightlifter. In his first NBA season, "Diesel Engine" broke the backboard and basket three times while dunking, and finally pulled down a basketball stand. Outside the stadium, O 'Neill is a rock singer and movie actor. He has published some of his own albums and movies. O 'Neill believes that professional basketball should please the audience. He believes that basketball has become an entertainment, not just a sports competition. Russell is famous for his defense, Jabbar scores with amazing efficiency, and O 'Neill has his own uniqueness in maintaining dominance for many years. Fourthly, wilt chamberlain, a black giant with a height of 2.16m, was born on the basketball court to show people the charm of basketball-speed, height, strength and technology are integrated. In order to limit his strength in the basket, the NBA once again widened the 3-second zone by 16 feet, which is the two long strips outside the 3-second zone we see now. Although Chamberlain's desire for the championship is not strong, he only won the championship twice in 1967 and 1972, but his all-round talent is incomparable by few people. For example, he became the scoring king seven times, the rebounding king1times, and even the assists king 1968 times. 1On March 2, 962, Chamberlain scored 100 in the game against the new york Knicks, which was a masterpiece in history. He still ranks first in the NBA with 23,924 rebounds, and he is also the first NBA player to break through the 30,000-point mark. V. George Micken If Jordan is a "century-old superstar" of basketball, then George Micken, born in 1924, is a basketball master in the first half century. Micken, who is 2.08 meters tall, is recognized as the first real "superstar" in basketball history. He conquered his opponent not by his height, but by his comprehensive basketball skills and devotion to the game. From 1948 to 1954, except 1950, the other six championships were won by Mickey's Lakers, creating the first generation of so-called "dynasty". The only way for an opponent to stop Mikan is to hurt him. 1954, the scarred Mikan suddenly announced his retirement at the peak of his career. 1959 Mickey was elected to the American Basketball Hall of Fame. On June 12, 2005, Miken passed away. 6. Olajuwon 1989 When Jabbar retired to play basketball, the NBA became the era when defenders ruled the world. It was not until 1994 that the NBA championship was won by a team with the center as the main force. This team is the Rockets led by Olajuwon. He was selected as the "rookie champion" by the Houston Rockets in the summer of 1984. After him, Jordan and Buckley joined the NBA team in the third and fifth place respectively. During the 1994-95 season, Olajuwon the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, the NBA Best Defender and the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player at the same time-this is the first time in NBA history. Olajuwon initially created scoring opportunities by moving quickly, but when he found his dream, he turned around and made a jump shot as a scoring weapon. His layup, turn, hook and block shot were almost interpreted as myths in that year. Seventh, Knight-thurmond Knight-thurmond, with a height of 2. 1 1 m, is one of the fiercest centers in NBA history, and even Chamberlain and Jabbar have to avoid stops by three points. In the battle of 14, he averaged 15 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, making him the first star to reach the record of "four doubles" in NBA history. In other words, his four technical indicators, such as scoring, rebounding, assisting and blocking, all exceeded 10 times (double digits) at least in one game. He is the center who perfectly combines basketball offensive and defensive skills in NBA history. His defense is better than Chamberlain, the attacking king, and his attack is better than Russell, the defending king. He is simply a perfect example of the position of center. The only regret is that I didn't get the championship ring in my career. Eighth, Bill Walton's healthy Wharton is equal to the greatest centers in history, Chamberlain and Russell. Wharton's shooting, passing, cooperation and assists all showed a high standard. He was a "perfectionist" among the giant players at that time. From 65438 to 0977, Wharton helped the Blazers win the NBA championship and was named the most valuable player in the finals. At the same time, it also set a record of grabbing 20 defensive rebounds in a single game in the finals. However, successive injuries, especially the continuous fracture of his left foot, greatly reduced Wharton's strength and prevented him from adding another brilliant chapter to his legendary experience. 1in the summer of 986, he joined the Celtics as a substitute and got his second championship ring. 1993, Wharton was elected to the American Basketball Hall of Fame. Ninth, david robinson, he is regarded as a genius among the contemporary basketball centers. Whether in history or in reality, this tall and muscular center can be regarded as one of the fastest, most explosive and most flexible basketball giants. He can not only storm in the basket, but also shoot from outside, especially when he takes part in the fast break, and the subsequent dunk or air basket is hard to prevent. 1987 After graduating from college, he was selected by the Spurs for the first time in the NBA draft, but he insisted on serving in the military for two years before reporting to the Spurs. Therefore, he was nicknamed "the captain of the navy". Unfortunately, his playing style was soft and he didn't play well at the critical moment, so Robinson didn't realize his dream of winning the championship until tim duncan joined us. Tenth, in his 2 1 professional basketball career, moses malone moses malone played 1 4,55 games, and the total number of free throws hit ranked first in the NBA, with 853 1. However, Malone's most brilliant achievements are not these. His most distinctive feature is to grab offensive rebounds. The total number of rebounds in his career is 16, 2 12, but there are 673 1 rebounds in the frontcourt, almost half of his total. 1983, he helped the 76 ers win the NBA championship in his first season in Philadelphia. This is also the only championship in Malone's professional basketball career. His weakness is that his defense is not active, he doesn't like passing the ball, and he cares that his teammates have more shooting opportunities than him.
