So, all fantastic things come to an end.  With NBA Power Rankings, we’ve been sifting through each of the five positions on the court, and figuring out how each member stacks up with one another.

To conclude the epic series, we’ve chronicled all 30 starting centers, and provide you with the answer you’ve all been looking for.

Who would you rather have in a game where you need a defensive powerhouse, but at the same time a guy that can hold his own on offense?  Basketball is played on both sides of the court, and there’s a select few centers out there that dedicate their time and profession to playing both effectively.

The league started to shift to one that didn’t need centers paving the way for championship teams — see, your most recent Miami Heat — but those days are seemingly over.

Centers are making a resurgence, and you’ve come to the right place to figure out how.

Brace yourselves, and begin.
