Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 3388778, member: 1001"] Tough one to answer but I always go Hakeem. Shaq was more gifted, Shaq's peak was better (and absolutely insane) but too short (amazing that his age 30 season was his last great year). Shaq just didn't give a , especially once he got to LA. Phil's books on that era are a great read. Shaq should have been at worst the second-best player I've ever watched, after Jordan. Instead he's somewhere near in the 8-12 range. He would have been something to behold if he had an above-average work ethic. Hakeem was ridiculous and did it against phenomenal competition, owning other HOF bigs like Robinson, Ewing, and Shaq.
