re: Lets discuss the potential future members of the NBA HOF

Russell
Olajuwon

Howard

So you think Howard was a better defensive center than
Shaq
Wilt
Mikan
Moses
Ewing
Robinson
Duncan (he's a center)
Mourning
Parish
Camby

Bradley and Bol still have a good bit more blocks than Dwight.

lets look at the scrub 2nd teamers
Amare
Yao, not really a scrub
Amare
Amare
Bynum

So Amare was the 2nd best center in the league during that 5 year run. That's some top notch competition.

That's a great feat

I'm not saying Dwight isn't great, but he had hardly any competition at the center position during his big run, and he has zero championships.
I don't have a problem with him making the HOF, but he's not in the conversation with the big dominant centers of all time.
