US media selected the top ten centers of the 2000s: O'Neal Howard led the way, Yao Ming beat the crowd
Original author: Hao Huozi
Today's NBA games have long lost the shadow of traditional centers. Strictly speaking, the 2000s should be the last heyday of traditional centers. I just happened to see that the American media FW selected the top ten centers in the NBA in the 2000s. Let's appreciate the style of these ten traditional centers.
Without further ado, let me introduce the top ten centers one by one in order and give objective comments:
Tenth, Brad Miller
Known as the Great White Bear, Miller has been selected to the All-Star twice. He has good rim protection ability and a beautiful mid-range shot. I have no objection to the American media putting Miller on this list.
Ninth, Marcus Camby
Camby , known as Kanye, won one DPOY and was selected to the All-Defensive Team four times. It can be seen that Camby is a big man known for his defense, especially his performance in 2007. Therefore, I have no objection to the US media putting Camby in this position.
Eighth, Vlade Divac
Divac, who has only been selected to the All-Star once, is often ignored because he has no honor. However, fans who have watched him compete with O'Neal in his prime will never forget his heroic performance. The US media put Divac here. I have some opinions. He should be ranked higher.
Seventh, Dikembe Mutombo
The famous Uncle Mu has won one DPOY, been selected to the All-Star three times, was selected to the All-NBA Team twice, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team twice. Just by wagging his finger at Uncle Mu, he should be put on this list. The American media did a good job.
Sixth, Amare Stoudemire
Although Stoudemire has only been selected to four All-Stars and three All-NBA teams, and has no honors on the defensive end, Stoudemire's performance on the offensive end is really incredible. If you have watched the running and gun game between Nash and Xiaosi, you will not forget this shock. It turns out that big men can be so flexible. In a word, the American media did not look down on Stoudemire, which is pretty good.
Fifth, Alonzo Mourning
holds a championship, a DPOY, was selected to the All-Star three times, was selected to the All-NBA Team once, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team once. This is the tough Mourning. The American media believes that Mourning played a key role as a substitute for O'Neal on the way to the championship in 2006. I think if it were not for injuries, Mourning would have had more exciting performances in the 2000s.
Fourth, Ben-Wallace
won a championship, four DPOYs, was selected to the All-Stars four times, was selected to the All-NBA Team five times, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team six times. Looking at Wallace's achievements, there is really nothing to say. Wallace is the top defensive master in NBA history. If the US media does not put him on this list, I will beat the US media.
Third, Yao Ming
has been selected to the All-Stars seven times and the All-NBA Team six times. As a center with very delicate skills, Yao Ming can be said to be unique. Especially in terms of popularity, it can even be said without exaggeration that Yao Ming surpasses the rest. The American media put Yao Ming in this position, which is quite interesting.
Second, Howard
once DPOY, was selected to the All-Star three times, was selected to the All-NBA Team three times, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team three times. These heavyweight honors are not Howard's masterpiece in the 2000s. I think Howard leading the team to the Finals is truly worthy of praise. The American media put Howard in the top two of this list, which can be said to be very appropriate.
No. 1, O'Neal
won four championships, three Finals MVPs, one regular season MVP, eight All-Star selections, three All-Star Game MVPs, eight All-NBA Team selections, and three All-Defensive Team selections. If you take a closer look at these honors O'Neal won in the 2000s, they are really incredible. They perfectly explained what dominance is. Fortunately, the American media ranked O'Neal at the top of this list, otherwise I would not have agreed. To put it bluntly, O'Neal is the most dominant center in my mind, bar none.
