This is my vote for best dribble driving center of all time. He was basically getting James Harden type FTA's in his prime, you couldn't stop him off the dribble....
I'm so tired of the typical......

If you took all "real" centers ever and made it so they had to always start with the ball from outside the 3-line but finish at the rim, Hakeem probably drops off the least but there's no way to really say for certain on this kind of hypothetical

A lot of the ability inside the free throw line for Hakeem was actually face up drives. It's pretty easy to find highlights of him using crossovers to get guys off balance and spin back into an easy shot near the basket.

Isn't handles Andray Blatche' thing? He's more of a center than Giannis is.
