I don't remember Duncan playing center the entire season or at least 70+ games like Amare did. :?

1) Shaquille O'Neal
2) Yao Ming
3) Ben Wallace
4) Brad Miller
5) Zydrunas Ilgauskas

I didn't count Amare Stoudemire as a C by the way. If I did I would put him between Ben Wallace and Brad Miller.

I agree with that list, but I would still put Amare in front of Yao.

Curry doen't belong on that list Andrew.
He was a big part of the bulls good season but his rebounding is just too weak.
Brad Miller over Curry IMO.

I guess my list would be:
1.Shaq
2.Yao
3.Brad Miller
4.Wallace
5.Ilgaukas

I list Amare a Pf.

He probably ran out of centers to his knowledge and just stuck him in the last one... I'd put Magloire instead of Mutombo.

Oh my gosh many of ya have listed Yao #2 and I've seem Yao played and he doesnt impress me at all. Kinda slow, unorthodox movements, you name it. Shaq is on a decline and will retire in a couple of years. No great big centers for the NBA :(

Yao is still developing his game, so it's hard to ignore him being a great center in the next few years. Andrew Bogut probably is the latest best center in the NBA. I think he will turn into player like Brad Miller.

Agreed, he should snare a lot more rebounds. That said, that's where I rank him.
