Shaq was just dominant....and i'm pretty sure won MVP. like one coach said (can't remember who)...there's never been a player that you had to completely change your entire gameplan for when you were up against him.
No doubt Shaq was a dominant big man as as athletic a player as there's ever been. But even in this clip you see how limited his game was. You had a nice turn around short shot, an incredible one handed dunk on a rebound, and a missed hook.
I realize we're comparing apples to oranges, but I think when you see CJ's complete game versus Shaq he comes out on top. I also think CJ's post LSU career and actions are clouding just how fricking incredible the guy was while at LSU...
CJ versus UT
CJ Freshman year
I feel badly for the younger fans here who didn't see CJ live, in the same way some older guys must feel for guys like me that never saw Pete. Not saying that's you, Choctaw...just that there's got to be a bunch of guys that never saw him play and all they have are these shitty quality YouTube videos.

you mention complete game but completely dismiss the defensive side of the ball

i saw both of them play several times. CJ was amazing...great ball control and shooter. but nobody had seen anything like Shaq before. sure...there were other great centers...but Shaq was different.
