Top 5 defensive center of all time
Best center in the league for a 5 year(conservative)period. Find me another player who was the best at his position for at least 5 years who isn't in the hall of fame.



He is not a top 5 defensive center of all time.
How is Dwight Howards career different than Ben Wallace then?
At least Ben has a championship

Name a dominant center that doesn't have a championship?
Ewing, and he lost it to Olajawon, who probably wouldn't have one either had MJ not gone play baseball.

Every dominant center brought more than defense to the court. Deandre Jordan is pretty much the same exact player Dwight used to be. I guess he's a lock for the Hall of Fame too.

Russell
Olajuwon
Mutombo
Wallace
Howard

Top 5 IMO.

Again find me 1 player who was the best at his position for over 5 years who isn't a HOFer or a lock. THere's a reason why the website has him where he is.


5× All-NBA First Team (2008–2012)
3× NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2009–2011)
4× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2009–2012)
NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2008)

That 5 year run is just unreal.

Howard averaged more points as a rookie(his career low) than Jordan did in his best season.

He's 25th in All time blocks.. That's behind Theo Ratliff and Jermaine O'Neal..
