Easily my favorite basketball player EVER. Bar none and the most dominant physical force I think sports has seen since wilt. Also how the hell has nobody dropped this off yet? So much 























fast forward to 18:00
It was more of Gregg Popovich outcoaching Kurt Rambis than anything
Don't know if its been brought up as I haven't read through the whole thread, but anyone talking about Shaq being overrated because of a lack of competition needs to look at what he did to Dikembe in the finals.
Mutumbo was the DPOY that season and Shaq averaged like 34 on 57%, 15 boards, 5 assists and 3.5 blocks in the finals.
Prime Shaq was other worldly and would beast against anyone. I have no doubt about that. Most dominant player in his prime that I've ever seen.
Like I said NOBODY could stop that guy, period. I've only been saying that he couldn't stop anybody else either. Deke, not exactly an offensive force mind you, put up 17 and 12 on 11 shots a game. Any of the all time great bigs would've put up numbers comparable or better than Shaq's against him (like Duncan did). It just so happens there weren't any around at the time.
If my memory serves me right didn't shaq average like 40 and 20 in a playoff series?
38.6 and 16.5 I think in 200035 and 16 in the Finals
It wasnt just his size. Watch his footwork...moveset...spin...USE of power...the flawless turnaround jumper and jumphook...the desperation in his foes' face...the triple teams of futility...2000 shaq >>>>>>>>
Ends patrick ewings career and embarasses Kurt Thomas
Embarasses the pacers triple teams. Ends rik smits career...embarasses dale davis.
no it wasnt, this era is MUCH better than the early 2000s. Unless you think 6'7" Ben Wallace is someone for centers to aspire to be.
Wilt played about 46 minutes a game, not sure. Also that isnt the point of this thread. The best center season of all time was that dude that had a 50 and 25 season. It was the most dominant season ever.
a) LOL at this horrendous stretch. The era is 1989-1997. Why? because thats when them nikkas were in their primes or close to it. Even still, the late 60s to early 70s is the GOAT era.This guy mus be mentally retarded
There are NO good centers today. 1990 - 2005 = GOAT era for centers.

b) who were the top centers in the 1999-2000 season besides Shaq?
Someone with a -1400 rep calling for neg trains feels a little desperate :ehavb:Wrong youngin
Didn't 50 tell ya to shut your yap when grown folks was talkin?
Run a rep train on this bytch boy, talkin outta pocket![]()

Answer the mans question though fam. Who were the top centers in 99-00 aside from Shaq?
All I can think of is Zo![]()
But that's not what we're talking about fam. Your negs are making sense now :ehavb:I gave a 15 year ESTIMATE time frame. Give or take a few years. You nerds are pathetic. Everyone knows the 90's is the GOAT center era. But I gave a 5 year gracing period cause Shaq was still a beast on the Heat. Forgot to put '06 when they won the title though.
Remember, the era of goat centers isn't done 'til the last good center falls off. And Shaq was still dominating until about 2007.
You fakkits want me to list every center for real?
You young nikkas need to get studying cause y'all don't know shyt
No 10 year span beats 90-2000 for centers PERIOD. I gave the 5 year bonus cause Shaq was still balling and he was the last of the GOATS left.
You want a dikk suckin center contest going on or wha?![]()
