No, that is you. You list two forwards who have never won the NBA title and conclude that therefore the center is the better draft choice because he is more likely to produce a championship for his team. However, when I name a center who is considered one of the all-time best, but never got a ring, you fail to see how that refutes your logic.

(Instead you meekly state that Ewing came close. Well so did Stockton and Malone.)

So obviously further examples are necessary.

For every example you can name, a counterexample can be cited. That means that your entire premise is faulty.

1. Remember who was eliminated in the first round this year?

2. Also remember who WON the NCAA Finals this year.

Incidently, Ewing's freshman year the Hoyas lost the title game to a team led by James Worthy. What position did he play? How many NBA titles did he go on to win?
