Moses Malone (1975-1995)
As a center, you will frequently find yourself on the free-throw line. If you have a choice, Moses Malone should be the first person that comes to mind. He had the most free throws in NBA history, with an average of 9.1 per 48 minutes played! Aside from that, he had the second-highest offensive rebounding average (7.2 per 48 minutes played). Few people can compete with this center. After all, over his career, he averaged 22.1 points per game in the postseason. If you know anything about basketball, this number will make your jaw drop.
