Lakers' Shaq.
Who would you rather have on you're team and who do you think is a better player overall?
Lakers' Shaq.
this is another tough question, but shaq could be the most dominant center of all time. so im going to have to go with shaq..
I disagree, Wilt Chamberlain is the most dominant center of all time.
Are you ing kidding me?
Shaq any day of the week.
Robinson easily. I don't care if he spouts more religious gibberish than the Pope, he's a lot less obnoxious than Shaq at any point in his career. This is entertainment in the final analysis, and Shaq is simply not fun to watch as a player or likable as a human being. I can't enjoy a championship if I've turned the game off in disgust.
O'Neal. Get the out of here. Robinson was a very nice defensive player and could board a bit, but he's a poor man's Dirk Nowitzki with the ball in his hands. O'Neal was a lazy defender and an even lazier rebounder, though he still put up decent production in both categories - better than D-Rob's in the latter-; but on offense he was an unstoppable scorer the way he was officiated and a very good playmaker.who do you think is a better player overall?
Shaq is the more dominant player, but I'd rather have DRob any day of the week. No ego, better person, more dimensions.
I'm not happy to say this, but Shaq. I never loved him, as a player and as a person. But I respected him because what ment his name during the years of his prime. He was reasonably considered as the biggest force of late 90's and early 00's. Those 5-6 years he was No.1 and as most of us remember, Shaq was so dominant that it would be hard to describe to someone who didn't see it.
My opinion is that question would probably be much smarter if it was like ''Shaq or Duncan'' or ''Shaq or Hakeem''. Tim and Hakeem are players you compare Shaq with.
If you could transplant David Robinson's brain and put it in Shaq's freakish body Shaq would've been the undisputed best big man to ever play the game. His Lack professionalism and dedication to his craft prevented him from being the greatest center of all time! He still managed to win 4 rings. Scary thought of what could've been!
Uh, you guys do know that everyone that has played with Shaq, LOVED playing with him. Unlike Kobe...
Only cuz he played in like a 10 team league full of unathletic white guys. And how many 7 footers did he have to combat? the biggest, baddest guy he had to face was Bill Russell, who was barely 6'9, and often times would give him the business. Wilt was a nice player, but would get murdered by guys like Hakeem, or Shaq.
Wilt is massively overrated by his inflated stats.
Better Center, Shaq
Better Person, Robinson
If my intent was to win championships...then I have to go with the better player..shaq
David Robinson.
I would agree with that.
I also think that Russell and Wilt were better than both of them.
Thats like asking Jordan or Wilkins.
Depends on the team.
D-Rob was never on a team like the one Shaq had in LA. I would have liked to have seen what David could have been able to accomplish with a dominant scoring SG.
they arent.
In your opinion. I would disagree.
But that is what makes life fun.
Wilt was 7'1 and a freak of an athlete. He was a dominant volleyball player as well as Basketball. 50 pts a game for a season is great nomatter the era you play in. He would not put that up today but He'd still likely be the best in the game in this era.
Bold Statements =........
........
We'll never know because the best player David Robinson ever played with in his prime was Sean Elliott and his coaches were John Lucas and Bob Hill.
Shaq has the hardware and you really can't lose if you argue in his favor, but I voted for Robinson because Shaq.
Track and Field as well.
Thats my point. There weren't any "freak of an athlete" type players back then, whereas today, the league is LOADED with athleticism, many players who are even superior to Wilt, such as Lebron, or Dwight Howard. I agree its great, but I doubt he would could average much more than 25ppg in todays league.
Give me Duncan any day.
Kareem all day every day. Best big man to ever play the game.
How would his scrawny ass have fared trying to guard Shaq? Also, even though he was old when Hakeem came in, didn't Hakeem own him? Personally I think Kareem was a little overrated.
