Wow, no Shaq at all, yet you have Duncan in the top 5. Suprising, didn't know you were a Spurs fan.

my last 3 would be the Big O, Malone and Isaiah to close it out....

Well Im thinking in order of position. Shaq is probably a Top 10 all time player, but funny thing is hes MAYBE a Top 5 center IMO. Id put him behind Wilt, Russell, Kareem, and Olajuwan.

As far as pure talent goes hes behind a few more people like Robinson, Ewing, Moses Malone, and Bill Walton.

Anyone remember Brad Daughtery and Ralph Sampson. Two TOTALLY talented big guys whos injuries cut their careers.

yet you have Duncan in the top 5

IMO Duncan is the best power foward of all time. As dominant as Shaq? No. More talented than Shaq. Certainly.

That's where we certainly disagree, my friend.

^and i wasn't quoting "I'M as dominant as shaq", that snuck in there haha

Where is Stockton? All time steal/assist man..

Hmmm... good point. Id still have to put him behind Isaiah though. I like Thomases talent/heart/ballsy attitude.

I dont see why people think Shaq is so talented. He didnt have a lot of great moves. He didnt have a decent shot (unless he was about 3 ft from the basket), he wasnt very quick or have great footwork. His defense was OK, and he wasnt much of a leader. He was big, strong and big and strong. Sure that makes him dominant, but if he wasnt 75lbs heavier than the next biggest guy in the league, he would be average at best.

This ought to get Flex a little confused..

Starters

Let me see...

Doesn't matter he didn't have great moves. Doesn't matter he didn't have a decent shot. Doesn't matter if he was quick or has great footwork.

He is the argueably the BEST center of all time. Doesn't matter how big he is. You're gonna tell me he's THAT much bigger than Zo, Ewing, Hakeem etc. etc.? Sure, he weighs a little more, but that's about it.

Up until last year, you couldn't stop the freakin' guy.....hence the invention: "Hack-a-Shaq"

Dominant at the time doesnt mean dominant now. Some of these teams would be damn fun to watch though!
