Which NBA players could play both Point Guard and Center?
So, which (if any), players in the NBA could decently play both Point Guard and Center. I've been thinking, but I can't really think of anyone.

Magic Johnson and nobody else. Which is why I have always said the GOAT is Magic as far as "best basketball player" goes. Jordan? Greatest SG of all-time. Stockton? Greatest PG IMO. Wilt? Greatest center. But Magic Johnson is the best basketball talent ever. Because he played PG and filled in at Center in the finals AS A ROOKIE. And not only did he fill in, he dominated and took home a championship and a Finals MVP....AS A ROOKIE!!!!!!

Wilt could play PG if he weren't needed so badly at center . . . .just ask him, he said so once. I think young slim Shaq would be a truly inspiring PG; Barkley too . . . . didn't Arizona have a 300 pound PG once about 10 years ago?

KG could do it. Often times in Minny the offense would run thru him in the high post (hence the 5+dimes) also in crunch he could(when younger) defend a pg when needed.

As has been said, Lebron, Odom, and Garnett come closer than anyone else. Lebron is probably the only one that could play both at a passable NBA level for a consistent period.
