Welcome to Alleyoop.com's player ratings. Using a detailed formula, I have developed a system that rates every player's statistical performance, and have ratings for ever year going back to 1990. For more on the player ratings, check the player ratings main page.

Below are the top 50 centers from the 1996-97 season - Shaquille O'Neal ended David Robinson's seven-year reign at the top. I've also included some stats from the season to give you an idea of how they ended up with their rating. Keep in mind these ratings are on a per-minute basis, so some players may be ranked very highly if they played well in a limited number of minutes:
