Let's see. I'm going to cheat a little.

C-Wilt
PF-Russell (he could adapt easy)
SF-Lebron
SG-Jordan
PG-Magic

C-Kareem
PF-Duncan (same as the Russell pick)
SF-Bird
SG-Oscar
PG-Jason Kidd (Jerry West right there too)

Love the Jason Kidd pick.

Where do you put Ewing in terms of All-Time Centers?

Got to be Top 10, right? (at least IMO) - I think he always gets overlooked when mentioning the greatest Centers of All-Time - probably because those 90s Knicks never managed to bring home a title.

He played in a era with beasts though - Robinson, Shaq, Moses on his way out, Hakeem - even respectable bigs like Smits....

I guess I'm not a huge fan. I thought he got a little more attention playing in NYC than if he had played in Portland. Kinda like Robinson...big guys so of course they could effect a game...but not the first names that pop into my mind.

Hmmm...interesting. Top 10 centers....I'll just throw it out and see if I change my mind later.

1-Wilt/Russell/Kareem/Duncan (I'm not buying that "power forward" claim)
5-Hakeem/Moses
7-Shaq

I would need to know more about guys like Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy, Artis Gilmore, Nate Thurmond, Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes to fill out a top ten really.
