I feel like every Shaq stat should have over 7 ft tall, over 300lbs, and faster than your average bear along with it.

Just a freak doing freak things

At least one of them was still in a certain loss.

Shaq is already underrated... The dude could get 35 and 17 like it was nothing.

prime shaq might be the most dominant force in the history of the nba. it's either him or jordan. shaq's dominance was purely physical, jordan had some once in a lifetime x factor.

I don't think its close. He absolutely required constant double teams and would still easily hit 30/10 every single game. He is a very underrated passer as well. Guy had skill.

His presence on the court is unmatched IMO. So powerful he would physically exhaust the other team by halftime. They had to create Hack-A-Shaq to slow him down.

Some of his NBA playoff statlines are absolutely legendary.


ETA:
And he did this in a time with lots of great big men in the league. He wasn't playing 6'4" white boys.

ETA2:
Not saying he's the best player, but he's the most dominant force. He quite literally could not be stopped by anyone at his peak. Dwight Howard shames the nickname Superman.

Shaq also thrived in a league dominated by big men. If he could have found some balance between size and speed, maybe somewhere around the last year in Orlando size, I think he would have been more dominant and more appreciated. Can't even imagine what he would be doing to the league right now had he been born a decade later.

See my edit.

I agree, his dominance in the modern league would be even more unfair than when he played.

All that tells me is the Spurs historically have very well rounded teams that don't rely on a single player.
