Top 5 Centres right now in NBA

Memphis Grizzlies v Oklahoma City Thunder - Game One
4. Joakim Noah

Miami Heat v Chicago Bulls - Game One

When you think of Noah, you immediately think of his ferocious, animal-like appearance. In his case, appearances are not deceptive.

He’s probably the most physical centre on this list. He’s the heart and soul of the Bulls’ squad. This guy can defend, rebound, pass, score and block shots like crazy.

He has great hustle, energy and passion on the court. He’s one guy who’s hated by everybody who plays against him. His passion for the game makes him one of the best trash-talking centres in the league today. His 2012-13 season’s efforts earned him a spot on the All-Star Roster too.

His 2012-13 stats per game are as follows. 11.9 points, 11.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 steals. He’s quite efficient, scoring at a healthy .481 from the field. He shot 75% from the line, not bad for a guy who probably has the funniest free throw form in the league right now (since Shaq retired). Noah is definitely a guy you want on your team, or at the very least, not on your opponents’.
