One Hand Short Jumper- Very easy to block and very common in most C's. Requirement- 1/5

Two Hand Power Slam- One of the hardest dunks in this game to read &/or block. Requirement- 10/5

Flash Jam- This dunk correct many mistakes although it is very expensive I strongly recommend it. Requirement- 10/5
360 Layup- This is a bad layup IMO.. it gives you opponent time to think and block it and it is rare to tip it back if missed. Requirement- 3/5
Alley Hoop Windmill Dunk- This dunk makes it slightly harder to block alley hoop. Requirement- 4/5
Power Rebound- A very good skill which enables you to grab the rebound in a powerfull manner and who knows you'll most likely end up kicking your opponent in the face with your knee. Requirement- 10/5
TRAININGS
All Jump Trainings.
All Power Trainings.
All Rebound Trainings.
All Block Trainings.
All Dunk/Layup Trainings.
CLOTHING
Sets: Would very much recommend this if your play style for Center is Rebounding.
Top: I would very much recommend Dunk/Layup Top if you mostly score those open shots or score when your team slacks.
Bottom: Rebounding Pants when facing a Center and Block pants when facing a C, PF team.
Shoes: I usually use Jump Shoes in other to be able to once in a while grab a rebound over Opponents Box out but I would mostly recommend Power Shoes when playing against opponents that score in the paint.
BOX OUT
This could be one of the easiest or hardest way to learn to rebound. It is the key to rebounding, it is everything without this you might as well not even attempt to rebound at all. The video below will show you why it is Important to be able to box out.

You See? It is almost impossible to rebound over your opponent when they have you boxed out and they have the ball over there head, your best chance of getting the ball is Chip Out.
BLOCKING
The Video Below will teach you how to block most of the dunks commonly used in this game, just study the timings and your good to go.

HELP DEFENSE
This is a great way to maintain your lead over a team and is guaranteed to bump your bpg
. Also it is better to let them get the 2 than them getting the 3 pointer.

PLAY STYLES TO CENTER
There are 3 proper ways to playing Center which are
Defensive C such as Confirm, IIJenII etc..
The trick to the play style of this C is practically always be on your feet, be ready to help defense, be a great blocker and be a great help to your team by screening, making plays etc.
Weaknesses: Rebounding, Box out.
Rebounding C such as RaiChuks, Hogan, MyBoards, Vomit, PwNHaRd etc..
The trick to playing this way of Center is dominating the Paint.. make it your home always be able to grab the rebound be a King at boxing out and learn to smack everything that comes your way when you are in the paint, we don't help D
Weaknesses: Help D.
All Around C such as Libero, Csama, Miasma etc..
These are the Centers that are able to be the King in Paint and dish out great defense, although I wouldn't recommend you using this if you are a Beginner it can be very effective when going against your opponents.
Weaknesses: None
KALS
The trick to kaling is reading the rebound, having the right attributes and being the right level. The correct levels for all the types of kals are:
Level 12+ with no rebounds are able to low kal.
Level 28+(75 rebound attribute) with reb pants are able to mid kal.
Level 38+(91 rebound attribute) with reb pants are able to high kal.
Kal means instant which is grabbing the rebound as soon as the ball flashes white such as:

WAITING FOR CHIPOUT
This could be the most frustrating or easy thing in this game if you know how to read it...the best way to be a master at this technique In My Opinion is study the players. If you are going against someone that spams chip out most of the time such as DCocoa or someone that chips out once every 3 games such as ChaoslCl, that could probably be the best way to read it... studying your opponents, but sometimes it is preety obvious when someone is going to chip out; such as if they are down by 2 and there is 5 seconds left in the game the SG shoots and airballs and you are in position for the rebound it is preety obvious they are going to chip so be ready to grab that reb after they chip out. The video below will show you how to grab a rebound after your opponent has chipped (correctly).
