    I'm intrigued by all the love for David Robinson! He wouldn't make my top 10 fav centres!

    The Admiral! Championships, a scoring title, a quadruple double and a legend during an era that had plenty of great centres, come ON! 🙂

    Oh I respect the Admiral, sure. Just like I do Karl Malone. There just isn't much to "love". If I was picking my top 10 boring/nice guy C's ever, he'd be #1 on the list!

    But favourites? Gimme Hakeem, Moses Malone, Shaq, Walton, Garnett, etc any day

        @mariner4life can't argue there. But remind me how many the Admiral won before TD arrived? 😉

            @mariner4life I fucking love TD. Still a nice guy, but way more of the fuck-you attitude that Robinson didn't really have.

            Did someone here post that short clip of TD and DR working out together or was that somewhere else?

              @voodoo The Admiral was loyal. Good things come to those who wait. 🙂

              Chuck chased a ring with the Suns and then the Rockets.

                Derek Fisher was loyal and won about 15 rings, I don't see him on anyone's favourite list...😉

                  If it wasn't for MJ he would have won at least one ring, with the Suns. MJ blocked Stockton and Malone as well

                      @voodoo I don't see Fisher in the list of the Top 50 players in NBA history either. 🤣 Horry was the man.

                      So where's Bill Russell? He has more rings than fingers and thumbs.

                          @Bovidae I love the legend of Russell, but the fact is that I've never seen the man play! Not a whole game anyway, just some grainy clips, and even then not many.

                          So he also goes into my "massive respect, but can't be a favourite" bucket

                            @voodoo Me either. I started watching the NBA in the 1980s with Showtime. That means I hated the Celtics. 😉

                                      Jesus, the Blazers and especially the Knicks weren't winning championships if Jordan wasn't around. The Jazz, yes. Suns with CB, yes. But Drexler and Cliff Robinson? Ewing and Mark Jackson??

                                        Jesus, the Blazers and especially the Knicks weren't winning championships if Jordan wasn't around. The Jazz, yes. Suns with CB, yes. But Drexler and Cliff Robinson? Ewing and Mark Jackson??

                                        Huh?

                                        You realise the Blazers played the Bulls in the 92 Finals right?
