Depending how you define Dominate. (See Kerry Wood 20 K game vs. Mark Buehrle perfect game thread for clarification)


Not meaning most successful but most unstoppable?

Phenomenal career.

One of the most physically dominating players ever.

Tough to say he was more dominant than Wilt. But Tim Duncan was an All World defender, in his early prime and one of the best ever, and just couldn't contain Shaq in 01 and 02. It was clearly time to retire but the NBA will miss the Big Guy

He could never compete physically against today's athlete.

I am a huge Shaq fan, especially when he was in college and first drafted. My brother was a Duke fan and argued with me that Christian Laettner would be a better pro than Shaq.

I win.

That's a bad sports thought.

I saw Shaq in college. He was excited to come to Assembly Hall because his goal was to rip an entire standard down, not just the backboard, the whole free-standard structure and he thought Illinois' hoops were designed such that he could do it there. He didn't. Rennie Clemons dunked on him also.

If his punch would have connected with Brad Miller, his career may have been finished.

Really? I'm pretty sure some of the guys he faced were some of the best ever.

Definitely one of the all time greats. In his prime he was damn near unstoppable. Everyone says how dominating Wilt was in his day but had Shaq played back then it would have been a massacre for those little NBA players

No doubt. There's a reason "Hack-a-Shaq" came into existence. It's because Shaq was regularly out-muscling DOUBLETEAMS. Think about that. He was strong enough to beat double coverage in the post.

Certainly the richest. He banked over $300m in his career (just salary, not counting endorsements), by far the most ever.

I will hang you like a disgraced former 70s television star who played the role of a martial arts monk that wandered around from place-to-place seeking new adventures.
