If that is your criteria, then Yao has to be in your Top 3...

Just ask Ryan Bowen about which player gets him all the open jumpers that he bricks anyway.

I'm pretty luke warm on Yao. At times he can be great, but you can also take him out of his game pretty easily, IMO. Jason Collins does just about every time they play the Rockets. And that's why I didn't include him in my top 5.

Eddy Curry isn't that effective with his back to the basket. He turns it over and can't handle double teams smoothly. He is much more effective and efficient when you get him on the move with pick and rolls, lobs, seals, etc. That is a much bigger reason he scores at a high clip in the paint. The high-low with another big man where they lob it to him and he seals, or the pick and roll, or a backscreen to get him free. Anything where he can catch the ball right by the rim and finish. He isn't good at creating.

Having no Elton Brand on the lists just makes me crack up. Again proving that Elton Brand IS the MOST underrated player since Arvdyas Sabonis

I'm sure you see more of Elton Brand than I do, but when I see him I don't see a post player. I see a guy who scores off jumpers and offensive rebounds. Not someone catching the ball on the low block and going to work.

I agree...

He has really become overrated.

He can't really create that well for himself.

Blaspemy. He is definitely a face up post player, like every great post player in the league outside of Duncan and Shaq, but he can create his own shot as well as anyone. Great first step, finishing ability, handle, and a midrange jumper so you can't sag off him.

Shaq
Duncan
JO
KG
Rasheed Wallace

Any other top 5 is wrong
