Marc Gasol higher all-time, though Yao peaked higher imo.

Gasol is a longevity pick for me (his portability, ability/willingness to adopt different roles is a nice selling point, too).
fwiw, I think he's a bit better than his box-derived metrics indicate, too.

Gasol, avaliability is the best ability in this case.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

I would feel bettwr with marc as my all star center

His defense is proven to be a big deal even in modern game and his shooting and passing are great complementary skills too, just a great player all around
