When Shaq retires Yao will be unstoppable as there will be no other true good centers in the NBA; i.e. he will have no competition, unless some amazing talent with the body and height suddenly materializes. Yao already stands heads and shoulders, literally and figuratively, above almost all of the competition at the center spot in today's NBA, as Shaq did from the mid 90's until now. Now if either had played in any other era, they would have had greater competition, and their legacies might have turned out differently. Who's to say how Shaq or Yao would do if they were facing with young and healthy Ewing, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Alonzo, etc?
