i know Z is hard to appreciate, but he’s a damn fine player. name another center who can drill 18 footers

Not fair to compair, he used to be a guard before he grew.

young duncan + aging Robinson dominated the decrepit rockets. Young Olajuwon was way better.
I dont’ think that site includes playoff games, Nick.

For post moves, I’ll make a list really fast, in no particular order. Olajuwon, McHale, Bernard King, Kareem (best shot ever), and old MJ.

Feel free to tweak it.

Yeah, it’s not perfect, Dirt. Just a starting point.

Wish I could easily put in a date range.

hey nick, you gotta pre-date that to before Tim Duncan got there. Using that same site, Olajuwon is 0-10 as an old man versus Duncan, which is years dating from his being a 15 year veteran to a 17 year veteran.

Good info though, they were more even than I thought.
