The 20 Best Centers in NBA History

Today we review the best centers in the history of the NBA. A position that, until not long ago, was the dominant force in the competition with names like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or Shaquille O'Neal and recently with Nikola Jokic or Victor Wembanyama seems ready to cause a stir once again.
