Correct. Parish is about the same as Walton. Ewing is at least pretty close.

Willis Reed can't be on this list. Walton may have had the best all around skills of any center who ever played, but he was rarely healthy. As such, I wouldn't include him either.

I think Robinson is deserving of that title. There are some great people already on that list. I think greatness most def includes your impact on the game. And the centers below def impacted the game of basketball.

George Mikan
Abdul Jabbar
Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Shaq

Malone was a forward, wasn't he?

I'm just going to let this one go. I suspect others won't be quite as forgiving.

I like your list. The only 2 I disagree with are Ewing and Walton. I think Nate Thurmond and Robert Parrish belong.
