I agree with the link ranking Russell 5th on that list, however I do not agree
that Russell is a center (for purposes of cross-era discussions). I don't know how any rational person would put Russell as a center *if* we are going to compare players across eras (a futile and impossible task if you ask me). Russell would not be a 5 in any era except his own. He would quite clearly be a 4 which is where he should be slotted in any discussion across eras. Everybody goes straight to Russell vs. Wilt (which in my opinion is an easy win for Wilt) but part of that is because Wilt is clearly a 5 and Russell is clearly 4. (I keep saying "clearly" even though I recognize that I am like the only person I know that thinks this). As a 4 I tend to put him at the top of the list (with Duncan and Malone slightly behind him). Just my 2 cents.
