you realize Shaq's dominance has nothing to do with his skill, he was just a beast that couldnt be guarded cause of his size
Shaq missed over 5000 free throws in his career lol
Ewing, Robinson, Hakeem, Wilt, Kareem, Duncan, Russell, Jabbar, are skilled centers that are better then Shaq

wilt chamberlain would control the game much more than shaq.
i would even rank Karl Malone before him.
best IQ might be John Stockton.

Wilt was a man amongst boys. And Shaq not being skilled? Lmao give me a ing break.

but I bet you couldn't pass like him, cause he's arguably the best passing big man ever. and he's got some moves. ever see him in all star games playing PG?

actually your right, i remember that, and remember when he was in Orlando he was playing 1 v 1 against jordan and schooled him in a pre-all star game.
The problem is that since 1994 ive never seen him do any of those moves in a real game, (not ref. to the PG move lol) you cant argue because he did that in an all star game a few times so what? you think players were actually guarding him?....he has skill, of course, all im saying is that the other 9 centers ive mentioned are more skilled then him (ie shooting, rebounding, etc)
Most of his points came from inside the paint, look at ewing, robinsion, they took shots from distance, just one example.
passing? i'll have to take your word on that, ive never seen him preform exceptional passes....he would just kick out to the open man once the double team came, 95% of the time i saw him in action

kobe at 10th? even 11th? and shaq #3
:stongue:
you must have started watching basketball in the early 00's and a lakers fan :P
prime shaq is the most dominant player ever. I dont understand the surprise. after revising my list, he's #2 now.
1. michael jordan
2. shaquille o'neal
3. bill russell
4. hakeem olajuwon
5. wilt chamberlain
6. kareem abdul jabbar
7. magic johnson
8. tim duncan
9. kevin garnett
10. larry bird
5 years ago, if kobe was anywhere near the top 10, it would be flat out laughable. now that he has 2 rings won as the leader with all his all-nba first team selections, he's cracked the top 10 or 11.
I'm surprised you think my list is funny. after all this is a music site, not a sports site so I get it.

Shaq at #2 is laughable. There's at least a dozen players in the history of the NBA who have been better players than he.
Mattinsanity
if you think shaq at #2 laughable, then laugh right ahead. that's cool with me.
