George Mikan (1949-1956)
You are a dominant player when the NBA has to make up rules to make things easier for the other players. George Mikan is responsible for starting the trend of big men dominating the paint. The pioneer paved the way for everyone who came after the end of his career in 1956. The offensive beast made 50.5 shots per 48 minutes played! No other center has beaten this record. Aside from that, he made an average of 24 rebounds per 48 minutes played. His average of 23.1 points per game is also the fourth-highest among all the centers in NBA history. He won five championships during his time in the league. Apart from this, he was chosen for the All-NBA first team five times! What an icon.
