Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 3555534, member: 1001"] Shaq is a weird case. If he was committed to the game (or at least staying in shape) he would have had a shot at being the #2 center of all time after Kareem. He was the modern day Wilt in so many ways, on the court and off it. He also played with insanely talented players: Kobe, Wade, and Penny in their primes. He then has weird knocks against him, like being swept out of the playoffs six times. It's odd that a player who was so dominant would be swept that often. He was lazy on defense for most of his career. Of course he showed up to camp out of shape all the time. LeBron and MJ are/were something to behold but Shaq is the biggest physical freak I've ever seen, especially in his younger days when he was more mobile. Peak Shaq is as good as anyone in terms of pure dominance. The league had so many great centers back then and Shaq destroyed all of them, at least offensively. Overpowering tough, big, legendary centers before he turned 25. [/QUOTE]
