Joel Embiid (2016-2020)
On both ends of the floor, the Cameroonian center is so dominant that he has drawn many comparisons to the all-time Hakeem Olajuwon top 5 center. Last season, Joel Embiid averaged 27.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game, which shows he is a low-post monster and can knock down mid-range plus 3-point jumpers consistently. There are few on the defensive end which, like him, can protect the paint.

Bill Russell (1956-1969)
How amazing is it that Bill Russell raked in 11 NBA championship wins during his 13 seasons of tenure? No one has beaten this record thus far! Even though he was not the star of the Celtics offense, he was truly integral to its success. Those rebounding skills of his are nothing to laugh at. He averaged 22.5 rebounds per 48 minutes played, which is the highest for a center. Yep, he beat Wilt Chamberlain when it comes to this. The two of them are the only ones to have a career average of more than 20 rebounds per game! Aside from that, he was also a 12-time All-Star pick and the league MVP five times.
