Vote on the best defensive center of all time

[72-10]

Best interior defender of all time

hon. mentions Mark Eaton, Patrick Ewing

Mutombo even tho Hakeem is the all time leader. Dikembo was bigger, longer, and scarier.

Hakeem Olajuwon. As a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and a nine-time selection on the NBA All-Defensive teams.

Dwight's easily the most athletic out of these.

Deke is an easy call for me. 4 time DPOY in an era of elite centers. Led the league in total blocks 5 times. Led 2 times in rebounding.

I lived in Atlanta when he was there and it was ridiculous how quickly he could cover ground inside and alter/block shots.

On the other end, with the ball in his hands, he was slow as molasses lol.

I'd say Russell even though its hard to compare with others.

Not true. It depends how you defy it. Most explosive off of two feet with a deep knee bend? Yes. But he didn't have Hakeem's quick feet, fluidity of movement or agility. Drob was the most well rounded athlete.

I take peak Hakeem over anyone. As a matter of fact, i have peak Hakeem as my GOAT C.

No Duncan option?

No Duncan option?

I think most consider him a 4, although it's debatable.

[ClipperRevival]

Do people realize that Hakeem is 40th all time in steals per game with 1.75? That's better than most guards! He was THAT distruptive.

Duncan belongs on this list even as a C.

In today's game i would probably take Dream because he can do better when he gets switched on guards.

I agree.
