Best center ever?? i dont know about that. lets not forget guyz like bill russel, wilt chamberlain and Abdul jabbar. i think the oldest was Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo commonly know as Dikembe Mutombo. he went from Africa to the university of Georgetown to become a physician and never had in mind to play basketball. he was 25 years old when he was convinced by the coach of Georgetown to play for his team after several weeks of negociations. I think thats the oldest one to ever make it to NBA
