    The answer is, Hakeem Olajuwon. He won 2 NBA Championships, and he is a true NBA Hall Of Famer.

    Hakeem Olajuwon.  He had no weaknesses in his game.  He could score, he could pass, rebound, defend, and have yet to see a player with footwork as good as his.  I think he's the best all-around player to play the center position.  Wilt was pure dominance though, his power and athleticism made him unstoppable

    Olajuwon was the better all-around player. 

    Wilt played in an era of 6'5 white centers, 30% field goal shooters and no defense. 

    @Hoopfan- and Russell dominated Wilt. What's your point?

    Wilt could run circles around Hakeem. Literally averaged almost 46 minutes played per game for his career. Olajuwon wouldn't have been able to keep up with him.
