Here at Kingsfans.com we have a tradition of doing something to pass the time as TDOS drags along. Last year, we had the fmous "Shortest NBA Book Title" competition. I was asked if we were going to have anything similar. So, here it is...

Kingsfans.com best ever NBA team - Position by position, we'll create the overall best possible NBA teams. We'll do nominations for each position first, including who we think would be the best possible bench or role players. Once that is done, we'll start the preliminary voting, narrowing the field until there are 10 players left for each position. At that point, we'll vote for the top four. Once the top four in each position have been determined, we can mix/match them for the best possible combinations of teams.

CENTER - Please list up to five players you think should be nominated for the position of center on the first ever Kingsfans.com best-ever NBA team. You don't need to justify why you think they should be in a certain order, or whether you think they should be on a first team, second team, etc. This is just to get a list of nominees for the initial round of voting.

Here are a few names to get us started:

George Mikan
David Robinson
Kareem Abdul-Jabaar
 
Kareem. 6 MVPs, 6 titles, 3 Finals MVPs, top 3 in total points, rebounds, and blocks (despite a couple years where they didn't tally blocks).
 
No need to go any further really. However, I don't see Wilt up there yet. He's the only one who is in A-J's echelon and vice versa.

Russell strikes me as more of a PF though he did play center. For comparison, Jerry West played a lot of point, but he's not considered PG.
 
These are nominations. I'm going to leave them open long enough for people to have their say. And the idea is to eventually come up with a first, second and maybe third best ever NBA team.

I'm not going to restrict the nominations in any way, but I would really appreciate if people didn't mention other positions in the preliminary nominations for the simple reason it will make my task more arduous.

In addition, if someone played more than one position, they might be nominated in more than one position. We can always sort that out later.

Just like brainstorming, let's leave it as open as possible for now.
