Either way if you are GOAT and you are 27 there is no way a 23 thundercat in his second year should outscore you and sweep you out the Forum with young Kobe and Glen Rice in tow.
Shaq 2000 was the best center of all time. If you dont believe watch these.

The point of the thread was 2000 pinnacle Shaq though. He put it all together in that season and was hungry.
With said, Duncan played PF because he didn't want to bang with Shaq.

The point of the thread was that 2000 Shaq was the best C ever, not dominant, not amazing, not at his pinnacle but the best ever. Just look up, it says it right there. That's the standard that is being applied here. You don't magically become GOAT over the course of a summer. The GOAT doesn't let what happened in 99 happen, period.

Lol @ nikkas in here trying to throw shade at Wilt like he had no skill and was just a product of his time. Yall need to do the research. Wilt was the real deal. Strongest player to ever live. Shaq is probably my second favorite player of alltime. I think at his prime he was the second most dominate force in bball but Im not taking him over prime Wilt, Kareem, or Hakeem.
I agree with a lot of what you say, I just disagree he was in his athletic prime in 2000. The idea that an athletic prime correlates to a specific age is one of the most fallacious things to me in terms of sports (e.g. 27-28). It doesn't account for any number of variables: wear and tear, motivation, injury, personal physiology, lifestyle, etc. Hell, Ian Thorpe is probably the greatest speed swimmer of all-time and he was done by like age 24. I could give countless examples.For instance, I don't think LeBron now (recently 29) is nearly as athletic (speed, agility, quickness, jumping ability, etc) as 24 year old LeBron. Obviously, Lebron is still way at the top of the hierarchy in terms of athleticism. But, this dude is gone:
Athletic prime varies.
