Joel Embiid (2016-2020)
The Cameroonian center is so strong on both ends of the floor that he has been compared to the all-time top 5 center Hakeem Olajuwon. Last season, Joel Embiid averaged 27.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game, demonstrating that he is a low-post monster who can routinely hit mid-range plus 3-point jumpers. There are few defensive players that can protect the paint like him.

Bill Russell (1956-1969)
How incredible is it that Bill Russell won 11 NBA championships in his 13-year career? So yet, no one has broken this record! Despite not being the star of the Celtics offense, he was crucial to its success. His rebounding abilities are nothing to joke at. He had the highest rebounding average for a center at 22.5 per 48 minutes. Yes, he beat Wilt Chamberlain in this category. They are the only two players with a career average of more than 20 rebounds per game! Aside from that, he was a 12-time All-Star selection and five-time league MVP.
