    Shaq once again showing his jealous side tbh. Said Duncan was a "power forward" even though the best ever in his eyes..Shaq says the PF position shouldn't fall under "big men".

    This is why I've always felt when people say Duncan is the greatest PF is a cop out. He's one of the best players ever and the best of his generation. I knew this would happen tbh Shaq can't match Duncan accolades and can't stomach the fact and admit Duncan was the better player. Insecurity at its finest

    This new age midget ball basketball is damaging the Power Forward label. Jared Dudley is a starting power forward nowadays ffs.

    only have one beef with how they're throwing this around," O'Neal said. "They're saying he's one of the greatest big men. Do you count power forwards as big men? Because I don't.

    "I was always taught that the big man was a center. I know we got new rules and they don't have the center spot no more, but no."

    Who cares what position he played, he is arguably top 5 all time regardless of position.

    Shaq has always been super insecure about Duncan. I remember him once saying in his autobiography "Shaq talks back" way back in '01 he said something along these lines "I really hated it when Duncan got that championship in 99. It pissed me off that he had gotten a le before I did. I also used to get angry at Phil when he wouldn't let me guard Duncan for a full game. I would tell Phil that I'm a center and he's a center so I need to match up with him and show it to him that I can stop him. Phil then told me not to take the matchup personal and that I'm a center but Duncan is a Power Forward so there is no need to compare. After Phil told me that I felt much better"

    Proofreading means examining your text carefully to find and correct typographical errors and mistakes in grammar, style, and spelling. Here are some tips.



    Before You Proofread

    Be sure you've revised the larger aspects of your text. Don't make corrections at the sentence and word level if you still need to work on the focus, organization, and development of the whole paper, of sections, or of paragraphs.
    Set your text aside for a while (15 minutes, a day, a week) between writing and proofing. Some distance from the text will help you see mistakes more easily.
    Eliminate unnecessary words before looking for mistakes. See the writing center handout how to write clear, concise, direct sentences.
    Know what to look for. From the comments of your professors or a writing center instructor on past papers, make a list of mistakes you need to watch for.

    When You Proofread

    Work from a printout, not the computer screen. (But see below for computer functions that can help you find some kinds of mistakes.)
    Read out loud. This is especially helpful for spotting run-on sentences, but you'll also hear other problems that you may not see when reading silently.
    Use a blank sheet of paper to cover up the lines below the one you're reading. This technique keeps you from skipping ahead of possible mistakes.
    Use the search function of the computer to find mistakes you're likely to make. Search for "it," for instance, if you confuse "its" and "it's;" for "-ing" if dangling modifiers are a problem; for opening parentheses or quote marks if you tend to leave out the closing ones.

    If you tend to make many mistakes, check separately for each kind of error, moving from the most to the least important, and following whatever technique works best for you to identify that kind of mistake.
    For instance, read through once (backwards, sentence by sentence) to check for fragments; read through again (forward) to be sure subjects and verbs agree, and again (perhaps using a computer search for "this," "it," and "they") to trace pronouns to antecedents.
    End with a spelling check, using a computer spelling checker or reading backwards word by word.
    But remember that a spelling checker won't catch mistakes with nyms (e.g., "they're," "their," "there") or certain typos (like "he" for "the").

    The term for just centers is centers. I'm sorry someone lied to Shaq.

    But really, thats the secret to Duncans success, that he didnt get caught up in that mano a mano crap. It was a battle of wits as much as anything else that drove him, in my opinion.

    Hmm i actually thought Big Daddy had more respect for Duncan than that. Think about the fist bump in the finals, the fact that he called Duncan the Godfather of the West etc. There is a fine line between the terms C and PF these days with how much the game has changed anyway. The true prototypical big man is a dieing breed.

    You see Shaq, is a head. Always has been always will be. He was a head in Orlando, and he still he is.

    Hes stuck in the past just like others for some odd reason. They cant STAND not being involved in conversations as the best or THE best.

    Duncan has been getting ranked ahead of Shaq, and rightfully so, and he cant STAND it. Hence, this attention whoring.

    That insecure Fat Bas should learn to just let it go. Tim has always been the better player, and will be rightly recognised as such.

    Calling Tim "not a big man" is obvious nonsense. First time I heard PFs are not big men.
    On top of that, Timmy was always more of a C who was able and needed to play PF; so he could dominate in that position.
    Once Timmy got older he could slide to C, no problem.

    Shaq is a guy who lived off his great genes and a bit of freedom to throw his weight around.
    He rambles about being able to eat junk food and still perform better than anybody because he had heart, every time the topic comes up. He should focus more on taking care of his health now.

    Shaq's an all time great, Tim is just better, and I hope he headlines the 2020 HOF instead of Kobe.

    Remember, Shaq gave TD his nickname, "The Big Fundamental."

    (It wasn't meant as a compliment.)
