Maybe I was just focused on Shaq. Dude couldn't hit a FT much less a 3.

Don't get me wrong, I love Shaq, but c'mon, the guy was just a shot-blocking, dunking giant. I cringed every time he put the ball on the floor.

...But I was also watching refs giving guys like Jordon a Euro step.

Shaq was probably the least skilled, from an overall fundamental standpoint, of the bigs that I mentioned, yes. But while he may not have been a graceful ball handler, he knew how to move in the post and get to the basket. You don't average 25 points per game for a career by just standing in place and dunking it like Tacko Fall. But it WAS hilarious watching Tacko dunk almost flat footed over Duke players, a few times.

As for the Euro step. Who doesn't get that in the NBA? lol.

Shaq had the most proportionate big man body in the history of basketball.

He could take the ball and dribble and run full court like never seen before by a man of his size.

He was also a historic game changer.
Nobody, I mean nobody drove to the basket against Shaq.

They didn’t even try. They gave it up
