Starting Center: Hakeem Olajuwon

Many fans forget that the Dream played for the Raps. Unfortunately, it was when he was washed up.

But there is a reason I have been constantly reminding that this list is all players in their prime. As a result, Olajuwon really does not need me to make a case for his greatness.

He is undoubtedly on of the top 10 greatest players to ever play the game. A combination of grace and toughness and the ability to score on anyone down on the low-block.

Furthermore, the Dream had the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. As a result, versatility allowed him to be a weapon from various spots on the court. On the other end, he was able to switch on point guards and defend pick and rolls.

With that being said, it is not really a debate who you want in the middle.

Best season averages: 1989-1990: 24.3 ppg 14.0 rpg 2.9 apg 2.1 spg 4.6 bpg
