Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, I don't get how people say he is a top 5 player of all time but can't say he is the best Center of all time..
Accomplishment wise, Kareem is the greatest player of all time.. Look at this
19x time all star
6× NBA MVP
2× NBA Finals MVP
10× All-NBA First Team
5× NBA All-Defensive First Team
+ much more..
-Nobody could stop his Hook shot. That's why is is #1 all time in points
-Top offensive center in history, was also a GREAT defensive center
- Led his teams to six championships, five of the them with the Lakers in the 1980s. He also led his team to the Finals a total of ten times, winning the Finals MVP twice, in the 1971 and 1985 Finals.
He is the all-time leader in total points (38,387) , third all-time in total rebounds (17,440) , third all-time in total blocked shots(3,189) and 33rd all-time in total assists!!!(5,660.)
When you combine Accolades, Winning, and dominance, the answer is clearly Kareem. He is also the greatest college player of all time... Oh and Bill Russel is the best defensive Center of all time, not Hakeem.
IMO
Kareem
Wilt
Hakeem
Shaq
Russell
