Okay, fair enough, there is definitely room to debate. I just think that kareem's sustained excellence individually and his success in terms of rings just puts him an unqualified first on the list. With Russell you can always say he wasn't the best center of the time because Wilt led him in most categories, and with Wilt you could say he wasn't the best because Russell won all the championships. It's a good debate, I just think that Kareem is the best overall candidate.
But I guess you can't go wrong with any of those guys playing center for your dream team, now can you :-P
