much better shooting percentage/efficiency
Shaq didn't take a shot outside of the paint, of course his FG% is higher. Hakeem had *gasp* a midrange game and used that to his advantage to pull Shaq away from the rim on jumpers.
You must also believe Kareem, Oscar and Lebron > MJ if you're this much of a stat guy, right?

2 points is 2 points no matter if you are dunking or taking it from 19 feet. Shaq shot 11% better than Hakeem did. The Rockets won that series because of what their supporting cast did, not what Hakeem did. They had stud 3 point shooters all around him. Shaq's supporting cast shat the bed.
Similar thing happened in last year's NBA Finals. LeBron played basically to his averages and Durant played better than his. Why did the Heat win? Supporting cast stepped up.

The objective is to be efficient. If you are efficient you score more times per possession and increase your chances of winning the game based on your play. There are no points awarded for taking a harder shot from a worse position on the floor unless you are taking a 3 point shot.
Hakeem had fewer rebounds, fewer blocks, fewer asists and was a lot less efficient than Shaq in teh Finals. As I've pointed out before Hakeem's efficiency dropped significantly in the finals compared to the rest of the playoffs that year (whereas Shaq's FG% stayed obscenely high (60%) in the Finals as well as teh rest of the playoffs).
FWIW this suggests both that Hakeem did not slow down Shaq but also that Shaq did slow down Hakeem
