Top 5 All-Time NBA Centers (#4 Pick)

 




4. George Mikan



Ah, yes… we are taking a blast to the past: Another era! to another time when there was no such thing as colors on TV, to another time when the 3-point line did not exist, to another TIME.

George Mikan is an NBA name that todays NBA Fans are unfamiliar with. He is like one of those NBA players that you have heard of, but actually know nothing about. Standing at 6 ’10, he is known for his bewildering rebounding, his skill to shoot over any player, and his shot blocking packages. Also, a fun fact NBA fans don’t know: he used the famous underhand free-throw technique before players like Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry made it their signature free- throw form.

George Mikan averaged 23.1 PPG, and a staggering 13.4 RPB throughout his 8-year career, achieving 1x RBC, 4x All Star, 5x NBA/ BAA Champions, 1x AS MVP, and holds 3 scoring titles.

He played for the Lakers throughout his career, from 1946-1954.

There are countless numbers of centers throughout the decades, so this list is not as accurate as what you think might be top 5; these are my opinions. Today, I am going to share the 5th pick for my list! 5. Shaquille Rashaun O’Neal You most likely already knew that Shaq was going to be on this list. Many NBA fans have different opinions on him, many think this 7’ 1 giant is one of the best, and some think he is substandard at basket-ball. I put him at #5 because Shaq is more nonathletic than the other greats mentioned on the list. Furthermore, he is unable to shoot, only making one 3 pointer out of the 22 he took  throughout his 19-year span career. He is known for being one of the best in the post, at...
