lol at Kobe fan trying discredit Shaq.
Which is why, IMO, Duncan is better.duncan had a more all around game with strengths in defense, offensive moves, rebounding, passing, and shotblocking
Yeah, Nash should not be there over Dirk.
Oh and BTW....Steve Francis should not even be allowed in the same magazine as the top 50 of all time.
Shaq turned against LA when he left, so Kobe fans are now just trying to get back at him.
What goes around comes around.
lol people with a white player bias
lol just thinking of what a Shaq vs. Mikan one on one game would look like
He'd eat Shaq!
He'd eat Shaq!
I think Shaq's arms are bigger than his legs
i dont think he'd stop at 70
shaq> duncan
sons Kobe has NO BUSINESS being in the top 15 .... MAYBE top 25
seriously dude..get over it...I wasn't serious...lol
explain why. Please...I really want to hear a good reason that puts Shaq above Duncan. Duncan has a jumpshot..Shaq never has...Duncan has a better FT percentage, is more athletic, is more clutch, has more MVPs...what, besides the fact that he could use his weight to back someone down, makes him better than Tim?
so you're saying that in their primes, Shaq was more athletic than Tim?
Way more. Shaq's one of the more athletic bigs to play.
lol..ok..even if we're pretending that you're right, you still haven't said what makes Shaq a better player overall than Tim. What does Shaq have that is so much better that overrides the fact that Shaq has no jumpshot, and is a much worse FT shooter than Tim. Tim has a better skillset in the paint. Shaq just backs people down. How is Shaq better?
Shaq's way more athletic than Tim. Shaq from about 98-02 could just raise up and dunk on anyone if he was within 5 feet of the basket. Tim could jump about 6" in his prime (David Robinson used to make fun of Tim and his vertical).
Shaq vs Tim
Scoring efficiency: Shaq easily. In his prime if he got the ball within 8 feet, game over. Either a quick 2 or a trip to the FT line.
Scoring: Shaq easily. He's by far the most unguardable player I have ever seen on the block.
Passing: Tim.
Ballhandling: Tim easily. Duncan was the main ballhandler on the break for two seasons, which I could never see Shaq do.
Defense: Tim clearly. Shaq got lazy on the defensive end too much. Tim's ventured into that territory too hte last year or two, but he didn't in his prime.
Rebounding: Even. Duncan averages a board a game more, but he's also 4 years younger.
Tough call, but I'll give the edge to Shaq because he could foul out another team's frontline like no one I have ever seen while still shooting a high percentage.
Better basketball player: Tim Duncan
More dominant: Shaq, I mean if he got the ball on a post up, it was basically a guarnteed scoring oppurtunity. But I'm still gonna say Tim will end up the better player and Tim > Shaq.
I think Shaq is slightly better than Tim.
You get so worked up over that . Just chill. He's definitely top 25 though.
Why isn't Greg Oden on this list?
The same reason JJ Hickson isn't.
Duncan is a better athlete and all around player than Shaq. Can't forget the times when you would barely graze Shaq's jersey and he's at the foul line.
Russel would get destroyed by Shaq, Russel=6'9" 220 Shaq=7'1" 350
end of discussion. Besides Russel was a Celtic not a Laker
Mikan even in that era against tiny compe ion only shot like 40%
End Of Discussion
Shaq had a slightly longer peak than Hakeem, so i give Shaq the nod over Hakeem.
Wilt and Kareem were better than Shaq though
Duncan is done winning championships...sorry about that, but the door is closing fast on the Duncan era
