ESPN recently had a poll on most dominating playoff player of all time...Curry>Shaq

[Thebesteva]

Is there any serious debate here as to who was the most dominating player in post season history next to MJ? How soon people forget on how absolutely unstoppable Shaq was in the playoffs.

Oh also...not thread worthy but bynum is blonde now..wtf?

2000 and 2001 Shaq was most dominant player in league history. Rest of the league threw their hands up and said "fuck it...lets wait this out".

And Kobe ran his ass out of town which really led to Miami having every ring it has now. Without Shaq in Miami they don't ring in 2006, and without that Wade probably doesn't stick around. No Wade, no Lebron.

Thanks Kobe.

Absolutely. Without conscience.

I never liked Shaq but he was more dominant in a league with far more talent than there is in :lol today's NBA.

Lakers frontline delivered two, despite Rapist's inefficient chucking, IMO TBH.

The problem with Daddy is you're left knowing, without a single doubt that there was so much more. That'll haunt a honkie.

Yes, and as the years pass I appreciate it (3 peat) more, but, if those two would have went shoulder-to-shoulder it would have been shattering.

2001 Lakers lost A game during their playoff run. It included the epic curb-stomping of the Spurs (lost games 3 and 4 by a combined 70 points).

And people laugh at "today's NBA".

Fack dude.. We woulda nutted on the entire forum had OKC prevailed and then the Cavs finish them in 5.

Theoretically, but doubtful in reality due to Kobe's psychotic ego, but yeah when I heard Shaq became a Laker I stopped watching the NBA for next few years till Pistons finally beat them, Shaq's dominance was disgusting. :lol

Not saying much for to be "god level" on a team that hasn't won a playoff game in 4 years.

Imagine if Daddy had stuck around for Kobe's prime.

Shaq made good centers look like BS competition. You cannot successfully marginalize Shaq in his prime. He would have shit on Wilt.

Well, that's not saying much. The '01 Spurs had one of the worst rosters of all time outside of Duncan, who was just a year removed from knee surgery.

But yes, '01 Shaq > '16 Curry.

[Sean Cagney]

Shaq was a damn monster in the playoffs for that title run and even in 2004 against Detroit he came through, he as unstoppable in his prime. Those finals numbers he had for the three peat were insane.

Initiated by Kobe in Portland '00.

Can't give your boy all the credit for those playoffs stats Cub, give the Daddy some love man.... Without him they are three short.

Not even "kind of" true. A meniscus tear isnt in the same ball park as a microfracture.

When did your Suns ever accomplish anything?

[Kawhitstorm]

The supporting cast on the '01 Spurs were so sorry that Fisher made more 3s than the ENTIRE Spurs squad.:lmao (He would have been the 2nd best player on the Spurs)

In Gm 2, Tim also dropped 40(15-26)/15/6 in Gm 2 Vs. Snacks 19(8-21)/14/1 & the Spurs still lost the game.:lol The last time Shaq got outplayed that badly was Gm 1 of the '99 WCF & the next time Shaq got outplayed as badly as Gm 2 of the 2001 WCF was Gm 2 of the 2002 WCSF.

Basically, the only big man to dominate 1999-2003 Shaq (aka PEAK Snack) in a game was Tim & he actually outplayed him for the entirety of the ''99 WCF/'02 WCSF /'03 WCSF series.

[Kawhitstorm]

You're right, they are totally different aliments & not all microfracture/meniscus tears are the same. In any case, that was only relevant for Tim missing the 2000 postseason when the Spurs lost to the Suns in the 1st rd w/ soft ass Admiral shooting 39%.:lmao

The Spurs got swept in 2001 b/c of the sorry ass supporting cast who couldn't even hold a candle to the great Derek Fisher especially after Derek Anderson got injured.:lol

That's right, be an asshole. You never know when to quit, bum. You always do this.

Ummm...no, it doesnt. Since Duncan wasnt recovering from a micro-fracture as you stated (simply a meniscus tear an entire year before), the Spurs really have no excuse for getting swept.

Pretty amazing to watch Duncan's great defense against Shaq in this video.

3-2 Spurs

LOL...if that was one of the worst rosters (2001 Spurs) and they swept their way to the conference finals, then what does that say about the NBA at that time? How is today's NBA any different?

Not much different in that regard. The NBA has always been predictable, with 2-3 true contenders every year and everyone else with no real chance to win the whole thing.

[ambchang]

Did Shaq ever have a 4-15, 11 point game in the finals?
