I was thinking today, I’ve seen talks about people entering their prime at really old ages, like Karl Malone for example. But that made wonder, who hit the peak of their career at the younger ages? For example, micheal carter Williams practically peaked in his rookie year.

    Ooooh… interesting.

    Top 10 centers all time?

    Kareem

    Bill Russell

    Wilt

    Shaq

    Hakeem

    Then after:

    Moses Malone

    David Robinson

    Maybe a toss up between old and new centers:

    Mikan, Jokic, Dwight, McAdoo, Parish, Willis Reed.

    This is a hard one.

      Maybe top 12-15 would be more app. Because Jokic almost certainly is on pace to be in the top 10 or even top 5. You also need to throw Ewing in there. And I think Embiid is going to be remembered way better than he’s currently viewed, especially if he has more playoff success at some point.

      But either way, Dwight is in the pantheon of all time centers.
