Players |
The center, also known as the five, the big man or the pivot, is one of the five positions in a regulation basketball game. The center is normally the tallest player on the team, and often has a great deal of strength and body mass as well. Because of his size, the center often positions himself near the basket or in the low post. On a zone defense, the center usually stands in the middle or below the basket. The center is typically chosen to take jump balls.
Notable Cs in the Kuroko no Basuke manga/anime series are Atsushi Murasakibara, Teppei Kiyoshi, and Eikichi Nebuya.
