In that case, I'm Bill fucking Russell.

Actually, that centers/topical writers metaphor is kind of apt.

Peril~Eyes was George Mikan — created the style that all future stars built from to some degree, but also feels dated now.
JOWELZ was Bob Pettit — his style felt dated by the time he got in the league, but he was so damn good at it.
I was Bill Russell — won everything in every way even without elite stats.
Vern Acular was Wilt Chamberlain — dominated with his size but never left his comfort zone.
Richard Corey was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — the best ever because of longevity and ability.
RIKOSHAY was Bill Walton — short but absolutely stunning prime.
Baron Mynd was Robert Parish — really good for a really long time, stuck around for a really long time.
SacriFICE was Hakeem Olajuwon — fluid as hell in a way that couldn't be imitated.
TaLi was Patrick Ewing — a defining figure on a huge stage who never quite was the very best.
Pent uP was Dikembe Mutombo — immensely effective defender who was a very good to great player for years.
dead man was Shaquille O'Neal — changed the game but couldn't be duplicated, dominated with size like Vern/Wilt.

You're Chris Bosh, a future Hall of Famer who won respect and titles as a center but spent a lot of his career at a different position. But you've still got time left to push yourself back to the top, if you shake those issues and get back on the court.

lol was just thinking where that would leave me, landed on Zo: top 2-3 for a period, but shit got in the way (Allan Houston's gamewinner=Black beating me in SS, kidney condition=moving out/to Korea the week of the AOWL playoffs). Bosh is good too, though.

lmao I've no idea who some of Certain's comparisons are, but I fuck with his list heavy

He's not even a center. You'd be like Al Horford. Everyone knows you and knows you've been good for a little while, but people still underestimate you. But the reason for that is because you have seemed ready to make the leap to the next tier for years, but you never do, and now you're probably past your prime.
