A lot of people are heavy with the hyperbole on this board regarding modern-day players but I really believe Shaq was the most talented basketball player and greatest physical specimen to ever step foot on this earth. For a player that big and strong to be able to have the skills, coordination and athleticism that Shaq had just defies belief. We'll see another player like LeBron before we see another Shaq. The man truly was a once in a lifetime talent.


Hard to say when Hakeem swept him in four. #dreamshake

I think people say he was more dominating in LA because during the three peat every center that rivaled him in his Orlando days was either out of their prime or retired. But he himself was really just a bigger version of his Orlando days. For better or worse. Had he stayed slimmer and more agile I think he could have been more versatile but frick versatility when no one can stop your two or three moves.

If Nick Anderson doesn't miss 4 straight free throws we would never have to hear about clutch city nor would we ever have to read that idiot Boom

Another thing you don't see often these days, backboard shatterings. Darvin Ham and Bryant Reeves shattered backboards in college.

Plus he was more athletic and fun to watch earlier in his career.


If only he could have kept his weight around what it was in those early years he could have gotten 4-5 more years out of his body.

The officiating did more to degrade his body than the weight ever did.
