Common knowledge..Marion on the block.

Z has been healthy for two years. Camby and Ratliff were both healthy last year.

You wanted a list of 3 people who were better. I gave you 8, and I stick by my numbers. BTW, Dampier WAS better than Magloire last season. (both players had their best year ever last year).


Big Ben plays center. He might be shorter than your prototypical center, but that is the position he plays. (And the position he guards)

Better is obviously the subjective term.

Is a player who has averaged 40 games a year over his 8 year career "better" than a comparable player who has only missed a handful of games?

I say NO!

Sounds like this little debate is at an impasse.

Just one additional note. Calling any player a "Top 5 Center" in today's NBA isn't saying a whole lot. After Shaq, Yao and (yes) Wallace, the pickins are pretty slim.
