1st thing: bill russell is the greatest center of all time

2nd thing: where is paul pierce

100% agree for Pierce, but it's not my top 10. And for Bill Russell, not really agree, but it is hard to compare players from different times

I love Paul Pierce, but not in top 10. Pretty solid list all around.

Level 12

Apr 9, 2019

I personally think that Russell is not the best of all time but I think Kareem is and where is Paul Pierce and James Harden

Level 69

Apr 10, 2019

I agree about Paul Pierce.

And for Harden, the thing is that the ranking is from 2016. Today, he could be in it.

Level 24

Apr 2, 2020

sorry Tottenham63 but i disagree with Chris Paul being there

Level 69

Apr 2, 2020
