Of all the 7+ footers of all time, who's the best?
I'll say Wilt Chamberlain even though all the players during his time were like 6'0".
Shaq comes in at second place even though I'm not a big fan of his aggressive play and even though I think he gets away with alot of charges and earlier in his career alot of traveling.
Anyone else? I'm probably missing a legend or two but I'm sure someone else can help.

Man I can't believe I missed Kareem!

I think that you may have missed the best. Kareem Abdul Jabbar! Sky hook baby!

I have to disagree with Yao Ming, over in China he may have been great and still is to those people, but I believe in the NBA he is over rated. He hasnt done anything special, or helped the Rockets in a significant way.
All time Wilt is the best. He dominated an era, even if he was the biggest in the league.
Second Kareem.
Third Moses Malone
Fourth Shaq

I'll go with Chamberlain, and Kareem abdul-Jabbar, they are the best centers of all time.
Shaq is a great center too even though I hate him, but I think he's a little worse than those 2.
Yao is almost right there with Shaq due to his performance this year.

Yao Ming is a living legend in China, and he's pretty darn good over here too. Dirk Nowitzki is awesome. IMHO, though, the best 7-footer in history was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - career points-scored record holder, 6 MVPs, and invented the sky hook that Shaq lives on.

1st is Wilt Chamberlain
2nd is Shaq
3rd is Yao Ming, because he carries the whole reputation of the country of China on his shoulders, not to mention he has a ton of pressure.
