Curry - MJ - Lebron - Dirk - Wilt
I get why so many take Shaq as the center... but I would take Wilt any day of the week.

[@NBAFUN]

I will take Shaq because if I picture a Shaq vs Wilt match up 1:1 I have to take Shaq.

[@Smido83]

@@NBAFUN And I cant... cause I would take Wilt in that 1:1, not even a question...
