Don't think so? Ask yourself who is the last Center who started for the Spurs since David Robinson? Seriously? Who is the starting Center for the Spurs this year?
Good point. If you were to look at him as a center, where would he rank? The top group has to include Abdul-Jabbar, Russell, Chamberlain, Olajuwon, Malone, and O'Neal. I think the second group would include Lanier, Robinson, Ewing, Gilmore, Bellamy, and Thurmond. Where would Duncan fit in there? I'd say fifth or sixth.
