	I'm pretty sure the Knicks are an NBA team despite their awful play. Also, a lot of these players are arguably forwards such as manning, perkins, brown, cliff robinson, webber and maybe even some others.

	I agree with the previous comment. I typed Gasol for Memphis and Wright showed up also I typed Garnett for T wolves and Laettner showed up.

	Oops, sorry, I'll add them. @skinnyd- yeah, I allowed Gasol and Garnett because they played center many times for their teams.

	Billy Cunningham NEVER was a center. Ever hear of Moses Malone? Wilt?

	Rom:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 02:21 GMT	1 point
	Malone scored about 7,000 for the Sixers. Same with Wilt. Basketball-reference.com says that Billy played forward-center, that's why he was there. However, he played SG originally, so I'm kind of confused about him.

	The OKC Thunder used to be the Sonics - that answer be somebody like Jack Sikma, shouldn't it?

	I understand you're using basketball-reference's designations for "F/C", but some common sense needs to be applied. E.g., Elvin Hayes only played Center for the Wizards when Unseld took a brief breather (if then.) I think B-R's designation of him as center refers to his years with the Rockets; by the time he got to the Bullets, he was almost exclusively a forward. Cunningham's designation may come from very early in his career, but even then I'm guessing we're talking about a few minutes a game. He was a forward, pure and simple.

	A large amount of these players didn't play as centers (perhaps for some games, but can we say that Magic Johnson was a center?) : Kevin Willis (played PF with Atlanta, and Rollins and Koncak was the centers), Sam Perkins (played PF while Donaldson played center), Danny Manning (played primarly PF but sometimes SF), Christian Laettner (same thing, played PF), Buck Williams (played SF/PF), Billy Cunningham (played SG/SF, sometimes basketball-reference is nuts for the positions...), Chris Webber (have you heard about Vlade Divac?), Chris Bosh (perhaps he played at center at the beginning, so we're good), Thurl Bailey (played PF/SF) and Elvin Hayes (Wes Unseld played center). Instead of Cunningham, you should put Dolph Schayes or Johnny Kerr for example, who were with no doubt more centers than Cunningham.
