Who is your greatest center in the NBA of all-time?

For me it is 7-1 Wilt Chamberlain of the Los Angeles Lakers. During his time he was an unstoppable inside the shaded area. He recorded 100 points, 55 rebounds and 18 straight field goals, which are all still unbroken NBA records or a single game. This just shows his enormous superiority during his time as a professional player.
Here are some of the accomplishments of Chamberlain: 2 NBA titles, 1 Finals MVP, 7 All-NBA first team, the 1960 Rookie of the Year and elected as one of the 50 Greatest Player in NBA History.

It comes down to Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Chamberlain scored 31,419 points, averaged 30.1 points per game, 22.9 rebounds per game and 4.4 assists per game. The only real flaw in his game was free throw shooting, just 51.1%, which I don't understand how a professional player cannot make more than half their shots from 15 feet without anyone guarding them. Maybe he just didn't care about free throws. If he'd had made just 70%, he career scoring average would have been astronomically high. Chamberlain was a four time MVP, Rookie of The Year, and two time NBA Champion.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar scored 38,387 points, averaged 24.6 points per game, 11.2 rebounds per game, 3.6 assists per game and 2.6 blocks per game. He won six NBA Championships, 19 time All Star and six time MVP.

As much as he dominated in his era and won more championships than Chamberlain, Wilt was just on a completely different level. When you think he once lead the league in assists as a center and AVERAGED 22.9 rebounds per game for an entire career, he has to be ranked number one. An argument could be made that there weren't as many great centers back when Chamberlain played, Bill Russell is the only great one that comes to mind, but his numbers are just too staggering to overlook.

Chamberlain is number one, Kareem is number two.

I Think Kareem Abdul Jabbar is greatest center in the NBA of all-time. He won six NBA championships and a record six regular season MVP Awards. He played on three championship teams, and his high school team won 71 consecutive games.
