Offensively How Many Centers In NBA History Are You Taking Over Current Jokic?

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Just asking

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Hakeem wilt shaq kareem after that its debatable

 

[ALonelyDad]

Andrew Bynum, Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm

 

[Diondon]

Def Hakeem & Shaq

 

[Peruvian Connect]

Wilt, Dream, Kareem. Shaq can't play a full game with Hack-A-Shaq so fuuck him

 

[Buckeye Fever]

It really depends on who else is on my team.

If I'm starting a franchise, I'm not picking any center over Dream or Shaq.

 

[Bennett80]

nobody, jokic is the goat

 

[fifth column]

Hakeem, David Robinson, Shaq, Wilt, Kareem, that’s about it. I like some rim protection and lateral movement out of the center position

 

[keond]

Shaq, Dream, Kareem. Thats it.

 

[Reggie]

If we going off of inside game midrange and 3 point shooting then only Dream can truly compare. In no way am I saying that Joker is better then any of them but offensively he's got some tricks in the bag where Shaq was just brute strength and Wilt was a combo of that and skill but not to the effect of basically being a point shooting center which Joker is.

 

[RAX 010]

Shaq Kareem and Dream

byrdgang.nikola the one true point.center the.1&the.5*

 

[Shadow King]

Shaq
Hakeem
Kareem

Are in the mix. Maybe D-Rob since his game translates very well to today

 

[Boonapalist]

Offensively? None besides maybe Kareem. Great volume great efficiency. Decent FT shooter. One of the most efficient shots in history. Good playmaker and passer

2-3 plays repeated on a hundred highlight films got some of y'all wildly overrating Wilt offensively. We're talking a guy who struggled to hit 40-50% of his free throws, who came into a league that only had three other players over 6'8" his rookie year, on teams that had actual quotas on Black players. Plus his only high-scoring seasons were when the lane was still just 12 feet across, which meant a center could camp out just 5 feet from the basket, which for Wilt was a step and a dunk. And he still shot just 50% from the field being way taller, bigger, and more athletic than everyone else. You see highlights of the 20 shots a game he made (90% of which were dunks and layups) but not the 20 shots a game he missed. There's a reason his teams never got anywhere in the playoffs until he took a back seat on offense.

Wilt was not as talented offensively as anyone else on the lists you're making. Throw Shaq, Kareem, Hakeem, and D-Rob into the NBA in 1959 and they would have been ridiculous.
