Shaq did enough imo. He was dominant for the first 10 years of his career and naturally started to tail off but still remained effective through 08/09 in Phoenix.

Where you got him ranked breh? Who you have him ahead?

You know what I find interesting. That the debate for greatest Laker of all-time has been between Magic, Kareem and Kobe with so many people believing Kobe to be the best, yet he's finished 10th on this list and Kareem and Magic have secured the top 5 if not top 3.

So the disparity on this site is larger than what one would imagine between these players.

 

[VBM]

Agree, Duncan over Bird but that's how disgruntled Kobe stans voted

 

[Microfracture]

I see no lies @VBM

 

[Street Knowledge]

Aside from 1980's nostalgia I don't see what puts bird/magic over Shaq. He peaked higher than both , had greater longevity, has worse teams around him and had comparable success

Jordan
Bron
Kareem
Magic
Shaq
Duncan

Same top 3 more or less I'd put Kareem ahead of Bron at this stage though Bron can move to no. 2 and no. 1 depending on how his career pans out. Kareem might even be my GOAT.

I went with Shaq. Larry Burrd was just too cold and Russell has all those rings anchoring that defense.

Shaq is really about to go 8th?

Dude possibly the most dominant force to step on a court.

Honestly, Shaq could have earned a foul call on pretty much every play of his career. I mean, theonly way to guard the guy was to either push or hold him, which was usually considered a foul. It’s almost like he was being punished for being stronger than his opponents. If a defender stood in there and took the hit, he could draw the foul on Shaq. Sometimes being the loser in a battle for position was rewarded.

But refs couldn’t call games with Shaq the same way they called other games. They just couldn’t. Opposing teams would have fouled out all of their big men by the middle of the second quarter.

When I saw him on the schedule, my main goal was to just not let him dunk the ball.

That was it.

Defenders usually complain that players get star treatment when they look back "...and if you touch him the refs would call foul." Here's it's opposite, you have his opposition saying that they were fouling the guy they were guarding and the refs weren't calling it. The refs were actually bailing them out as a defender.
