Peak only. Centers only.

All professional play counts.

Who is the best…at their best?

Peak Center.

Peak.

Across all eras.

Overall impact on wining across any team and style.

Who is the best, regardless of where you put him historically or contemporaneously.

Can't be bothered getting stats right now , though has been posted before. Chamberlain excelled as a greatest ever scorer, then still very good scorer and great passer, leading league in assists, and then excelled as taking somewhat a backseat scorer, though still able to be among the best scorers, while being among the best ever defenders and fitting with his team. He won on different teams, in different roles but was always the best at everything during his career, perhaps only Russell rivalling him defensively.

Can't see anyone doing what he did.

Tim Duncan, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would be my Top 3 in some order. I think in the 2017 or 2020 Peaks Project I had Duncan #1, but that has likely changed.

It's still Shaq to me although there are a couple Kareem seasons in the early and late 70s that have interesting arguments.

Shaq for me. Kareem, Hakeem, and Wilt would be the next 3 to me
