Following their list of the 20 greatest power forwards in NBA history, HoopsHype revealed their rankings of the top 20 centers in league history. In both lists, two Warriors players made the cut, with current forward Draymond Green being recognized as a top-20 power forward along with Chris Webber.
As for the centers, Robert Parish, a four-year Warriors big man, was named No. 13 on the list. Parish played 21 seasons in the NBA and held the record for most games played (1,611) in NBA history until LeBron James passed him last season. In his four seasons with the Warriors, Parish averaged 13.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, one steal and 1.8 blocks. After Golden State, Parish would find tremendous success with the Boston Celtics before finishing
his career with the Hornets and Bulls. "The Chief" collected many accolades throughout his career, including two All-NBA selections, nine All-Star appearances, a Hall of Fame induction and four NBA championships.
The other former Warriors player to make the list was none other than Wilt Chamberlain, who came in at No. 3. Chamberlain is known as one of the most dominant forces in NBA history, even scoring 100 points in a game. Chamberlain spent six seasons with the Warriors, averaging an absurd 41.5 points, 25.1 rebounds and three assists (blocks were not yet recorded until Chamberlain's final NBA season). Throughout his career, Chamberlain racked up honors, winning four MVP awards, two championships, seven scoring titles, 11 rebounding titles, making 10 All-NBA selections and 13 All-Star appearances. Chamberlain also holds the all-time lead for rebounds per game, having averaged 22.9 throughout his 14-year career.
