Basketball is an incredible sport. The game itself is exciting on any level, but to most true basketball fans there is nothing they would rather watch than an NBA game. And why not? The athletes in the NBA are truly some of the best in the entire world. The game has changed a lot over the years, but there is no doubt that each era in basketball had some incredible players. As a matter of fact, no matter how old you are, if you're an NBA fan you probably think that the players you watched were the very best of all time.

Just for an example, which of the following centers do you think is the best?
