I'll take Ben Wallace over any center right now besides Shaq. Maybe even Shaq because he's old now. You don't need every player to score points. Ben Wallace is amazing at defense, and amazing at rebound. And all his offensive rebounds means more points for the team, maybe nor for Ben, but for the team, and thats what matters.
Who's in your top 10?
Also remember that Bill Russel is considered by many (mostly Celtic fans) to be the best Center of all time and he was mainly a defensive stopper with few offensive skills. I wouldnt put Wallace in my top 10 but i can fully understand why someone would.
My top 10 in no order: Kobe, Duncan, KG, LeBron, AI, Wade, Amare, McGrady, Nash and J O'Neal.
Hey Point, good to see you here. Jeez what a dismal display by the Lakers against Portland. No offence Myth but the Blazers average 89 pts a game and they torch the Lakers for 113 and shoot over 50%. I fully give the Blazers credit for playing well but the Lakers defense was disgraceful. Kobe was alot more laid back in the first 3 quarters and tried to let the other Lakers get their shots, but the fact is that the others are crap and by the 4th Kobe had to try and bail them out again because they were down 12.
I hope they can pick themselves up for the next game against LeBron and the Cavs, if they play that kind of D again it will be lights out.
Congrats Myth, the Blazers have had a tough run so its nice to see them winning. I just wish they could have chose another night to catch fire.

Oh, trust me, I know they suck this year. Besides, stating a statistic isn't offensive. I'm hoping for a great Kobe/Lebron showdown tomorrow as well. Then Sunday I'm watching Lebron come to Portland live. Not the greatest seats but it will do. Last year when I watched him he dropped the worlds youngest triple double on us. That was fun. 😄
damn you all for living in the usa.... where does everyone recommend going to watch the great game? i'm looking for crowd atmosphere especially... i'm takign a trip to watch the raptors either end of te season or next season... but i'd also like to see another team... i am a blazers fan also.. and they have a nuts crowd... of course, by nuts i mean well supported lol. i'm also considering cleveland, just to see lebron... detroit, who wouldnt!... utah, they've alwyas had a good crowd behind them and ak47 at his best is just poetry.... goldenstate, i just love the look of the area, and the bay area has some importance to me as a band i love are from there.
Myth, hope you enjoy the game man.
Royke, the Pistons arena always seems to come across as loud. As does the Pacers and Spurs. Arco Arena was always known for being a raucous place when the Kings were winning but im not sure about now.
Oh and Bradley as bad as he was is easily better than Frankenstein.
