They call them the Men in the Middle, the anchor, and some have nicknames like SUPERMAN, DREAM, DIESEL, SKY HOOK, CHOCOLATE THUNDER, and THE ADMIRAL. Those have said if you have a dominant CENTER they can take you to the promise land quicker than any other position in the Association.

I have watched plenty of Professional Basketball in my time and I have never seen a more athletic but somewhat limited one as my #1 CENTER in the Association, SUPERMAN himself, DWIGHT HOWARD, the pride of Atlanta SOUTHWEST CHRISTIAN HS.

Let the BLUEDUDE give you a closer look at SUPERMAN and my other TOP CENTERS IN THE NBA for the 2010-2011 Season:

1. DWIGHT HOWARD aka SUPERMAN O MAGIC: One of the more dominant CENTERS you will ever see from an athletic standpoint. To be that athletic, that long, and that agile for a man of his size is incredible. But for every SUPERMAN there is LEX LUTHOR and KRYPTONITE. Although averaging over 20 pts, 11-13 rebounds, and 3-5 Blocks per.....SUPERMAN is limited from an offensive standpoint. Although KNICKS GREAT PATRICK EWING, a O MAGIC Assistant Coach has been working with DWIGHT for some time, he struggles from playing his back to the basket, and can't face up with limited range on a suspect outside shot, and really no dribble-drive moves from low or high post extended. His achilles heel is his FREE THROW SHOOTING, which in a close game just decreases the O MAGIC's chances of sustaining a lead or cutting into one. But with all that said he is only 25 years of age and with PAT over there working with him the sky is the limit but SUPERMAN has to go in the PHONE BOOTH and get a bag of new tricks. HELL CALL YOUR SQUEEZE LOIS LANE at the local newspaper in O-TOWN she will help you DWIGHT.

2. ANDREW BOGUT aka AUSSIE FEAR THE DEAR BOYZ: Minus some freak injuries the BUCKS and then GM LARRY HARRIS were right on tap with this selection of the UTAH UTES ALL-American. A very skilled back to the basket offensive player with a sneaky handle for a guy of his size. Also a very good offensive and defensive rebounder who has yet to scratch the ceiling on his real potential. Although he has struggled on defense since he was drafted #1 overall a few years back, Head Coach Scott Skiles has got the AUSSIE ever improving on that end of the court. He is and will be the anchor for the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for years to come.

3. CHRIS KAMAN aka DR. NO CLIPS: In my opinion from a scouting report perspective the best and most complete BIG IN THE LEAGUE. There is nothing this CENTRAL MICHIGAN PRODUCT cannot do. He can play his back to the basket, face up, screen and roll or screen and pop, an array of moves low block extended, excellent handle from high post extended, and the best face up shooting center 18 feet and in. LIKE most centers he struggles with LOW POST defense because physically he is limited. He is a pretty good perimeter defender with descent footwork. He should work well with SUPERSTAR in the making FORWARD BLAKE GRIFFIN.

4. ANDREW BYNUM aka DREW LAKESHOW: Another guy who has been hit with injuries but when healthy is a TOP 5 CENETR but only the second best CENTER in his own city. MR. SKY HOOK himself, KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR, has been working with DREW and you can see the results. Remember a few years back one KOBE BRYANT was pretty animated at the prospect of the LAKERS moving forward with a young center like DREW. Fast forward to now and when BYNUM is healthy and starting at center getting major minutes the LAKESHOW is almost impossible to stop. VERY good at playing his back to the basket as well as finishing on the break. An above average free throw shooter but you can trust him to play down the stretch as he will not kill you from the charity stripe. If he comes back 90-95% this year the LAKESHOW will most definately be putting up another BANNER.

5. AL HORFORD aka lil TITO aka BIG AL HAWKS: One of a 3-piece CORNERSTONE IN ATLANTA with JOE JOHNSON and JOSH SMITH. AL plays big at center eventhough on most nights giving up size. He makes up for it with a solid mid-range game, and excellent hustle and getting out in transition. One of the best Offensive Rebounders in the Association and now I see why FLORIDA won back to back national titles with him and MR. BLUE-COLLAR JOAKIM NOAH of the BULLS. Also with size being a liablity for him he is very crafty when moving without the ball. The one thing that really hurts him a a match-up basis is he is not one of your most explosive athletes at the position either.

6. JOAKIM NOAH aka JO CHI CITY: This is a perfect example of being limited in terms of athletic ability and still determined to out work you and hustle you on a nightly basis. The perfect compliment to what the BULLS are doing from a roster standpoint now having added CARLOS BOOZER in the Front Court. He is a tireless rebounder on both ends and gets most of his points from the glass and 2nd chance opportunities. A really good passer who will surprise you n his handle aroung the low blocks when he faces you up in triple threat position. A definite franchise keeper with the ALL-WORLD PG D ROSE, the BULLS future looks bright with JO in the middle as he has been rewarded with a new 5yr/$60 million dollar deal that goes in effect next season.

7. MARC GASOL aka lil PAU BEALE STREET BOYZ: Unlike his big brother in LA PAU, the guy can play and is a force on his NATIONAL TEAM OF SPAIN. A fixture for the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for years to come, an excellent rebounder and low-post defender. Limited from an athletic perspective but makes up for it with a high BASKETBALL IQ. But most surprising about his game is his ability to attack the low blocks area from the perimeter, A MONSTER FOR REAL. A good passer who benefits from playing with guys like GAY AND MAYO. These 3 will take MEMPHIS to the Playoffs soon trust me on that.

8. NENE HILARIO aka NENE MILE HIGH: One of the most athletic and powerful Centers in the Association. There is no discounting his ability nor his desire to be better. Injuries have sidetracked his progress for some time now in becoming what the BLUEDUDE thinks he is a TOP 3 CENTER. LIKE MELO is trying to do at this present time he might need to burn THE MILE HIGH CITY up really. A change of scenery is sometimes good for both parties. Look NENE is an absolute horror show on the block, and can make a play for himself or his teammates off the dribble. ALSO can knock the jumper down from 15-18 feet consistently. The only drawback on his game is he sometimes disappears and that might be a product of sometimes disinterested or who he is playing with.........U KNOW.........JR SMITH...MELO.....KMART.......MR. BIG SHOT.......u see there are not a lot of offensive opportunities in DENVER.
