Guys like Kareem and David Robinson and Olajuwon were plenty athletic though... more so than they probably get credit for. They could run and jump and block shots and make life hard for people who came into the lane.

You make a good point about the lack of centers but at the same time the league has made rule changes and would\will never tolerate what happened to Jordan against the Pistons ever again. Just look at all the ticky tacky fines that are issued to players now there is just no way they will allow that type of physical play again.
