Take Shaq away and he is just another point guard.

If Shaq wasn't allowed to travel and offensive foul his way through the game he wouldn't be near as effective.

4. Kareem - Was almost unstoppable in his youth. Almost as fast as Walton. Skyhook would have eaten Shaq alive.

I guess that puts Shaq in the top 5.


Non of them could even have got position on Shaq. He's a phenom the likes the league has not seen. Like I said, he's a seven foot offensive lineman playing center on a basketball team.

You said that Wilt is Bigger, Faster and Stronger then Shaq??? That's flat out WRONG. Bill Russell could not single covered Shaq. Shaq is Quicker and Bigger then Russell. Kareem and Walton would be a good match up. Walton could play defense against Shaq batter then anyone... and Kareem could match point for point with Shaq (Shaq couldn't stop Kareem...and Kareem couldn't stop Shaq). Shaq is the the best center to ever play in the NBA...if you don't believe me.... ask Walton, Russell, and Kareem.

Wilt was bigger stronger and faster.

He went to college on a track scholarship. Ran the 400 meters!

And don't forget, with his size he would out rebound them,imo. And if you rule the boards, you rule the game.

Does Robert Horry still play?

Horry is on the floor a lot but is not much of a player anymore.

I've seen that guy hit some big shots. Just seems to be around when the game is on the line.
