i dont want to sound dumb but am i the only one that thinks shaq would have dominated the 60s and 70s. i mean i have seen the pictures and the number of the weight and size of bill russel and wilt and its a fact that shaq in his prime was bigger and stronger then all of them and he had great post moves. i think those players back then had no competition and would not be as great today as they were in THEIR times in the NBA. im not taking any accomplishments away from them at all.
there is top 10 dunk on ewing, mutombo, mourning, d. robinson.... but couldn't find top 10 dunk on shaq.... and btw shaq's top 10 dunks on 3 decade of center that means he is still the real SUPERMAN!
@hakaveli1 yeah he would shaq was an absolute beast....people don't realize that for his size shaq had some serious hops...and he is a lot stronger than dwight.
@causeandeffect06 dude dwight is 6 11. shaq was over 300 pounds and was quick ohh and lets not forget he was 7 foot 2 haha. so no dwight is not bigger nor stronger.
@causeandeffect06 faster? ok maybe, but remember when young shaq was running the floor like a guard. bigger? never. shaq in his prime had around 345 pounds with at least 7.1 . dwight is not even a 7 footer and around max. 280 pounds. so I say, prime shaq would kill howard easily. dont forget, when even old shaq dominated howard.
thumbs up if you come onto youtube to just quickly looking at 1 nba video, and then you spend a whole hour on here going from link to link of nba videos?!?!
MAn you have to make a top 20 for this guy, there's just too many for only a top 10. Don't forget the dunk he did against Dudley, AK47 and DWight Howard
he's the greatest center of the time,, can you find someone else can play like him in NBA?? no one. but,, finally time taking control of him and beat him.
@stevechen1991 if he had no skills then he can't score, rebound, block a shot and be an NBA great so shut up you don't know what you are saying.. give me a center that is equally bigger and muscular like him, and CAN play like him.. not all of the centers that is equal to his size and strength CAN play really great like him..
@Bayzky i never said he cant play lol,i jus said hes not a skillful center like gasol or yao.and i know shaq and howard still dominate the game with their power and strength even tho they cant shoot for shyt or barely do any post moves
@stevechen1991 he is not skillful to you huh?? that kind of player has full of skills.. he just utilizes his size very well and he has MORE post moves than dwight and more efficient than him, and don't compare him to dwight because they are not the same level.. and he can shoot in point blank range from 10 to 15 feet, he had a one handed jump shot, and a jump hook.. so he can shoot OK..
@stevechen1991 if you don't believe me that he can shoot from mid-range I'll show you a video that he can shoot.. type this on YouTube then WATCH closely. and NOTE finish the whole video
Shaq 34/17/5 vs 76ers Game 4, 2001 Finals
Shaq Draining A Turnaround Jumpshot On Mutombo *Rare*
I think he's top 3 Centers all time material but the thing I hated about him was how brutal and violent he was, he constantly pushed, tripped and blatantly disrespected every big man in the league just to prove he's the biggest, usually after a dunk. That's what gorillas do in the jungle; this is the NBA, and I hate he got away with a lot of it.
@yoe91 your also forgetting he would get grabbed, pulled, slapped and hit every time down the court. hard to take that much abuse and not give any of it back
@yoe91 you must not watch basketball then...its very realistic. in order to stop him you foul him hard...consistently. so yes its realistic. probably dont play either.
@Bayzky Shaq and Hakeem were overall better than Russell. But because of rings I suppose you could put him at 2. I'd go Kareem, Shaq, Russell/Hakeem decision, then Wilt.
@johnnyenchilada yeah your right, but actually i want to put shaq on the top of the list, but i know many of the fans will react and will judge my ranking, that's why i based my ranking on overall accomplishments :)
Russell had the rings and defense but not the offence, Wilt was the most dominate and ahead of his time, Kareem the skyhook and longevity, but Shaq had the moves, power and personality !!!
@shestolemyboxers That's true but you realize Hakeem Olajuwon average over 3 blocks a game career and at his peak 4.6? No one will ever, ever approach that record. Mutombo played until he was 42, is second on the list, and isn't even CLOSE. He's also top 10 all time in STEALS and he's a center. Shaq's FG % is considerably higher but Olajuwon averaged slightly more RPG career, way more blocks, steals, and beat Shaq when they went head to head.
@shestolemyboxers The argument is that prime shack got raped by Olajuwon in the playoffs. If it's not even close why weren't the magic winning titles? Look I understand your point. He was an automatic double team and an absolute freak of nature but he had flaws to his game as well. He never even won a rebounding title which is kind of crazy when you consider his size and athleticism.
@kingvitamin88 Also Olajuwon wasn't a huge liability at the stripe. Look I think given Shaqs insane fg% it's a push, you're right that Shaq was a beast but still, Olajuwon was an insane all around player.
this guy is the best center ever played the game in the history! not bill russell, chamberlain, kareem, so on and so forth! a lot of people said russell and chamberlain are the 1 and 2 of the best but the basketball long before wasn't that competitive compared today and the 80's and 90's
@chikilan11 Russell had the rings and defense but not the offence, Wilt was the most dominate and ahead of his time, Kareem the skyhook and longevity, but Shaq had the moves, power and personality !!!
@chikilan11 I am a Shaq fan but you can not compare 4 rings to 11 plus after Akeem retired there was not one to balance out to shaq like Russell balanced Chamberlain.
@RebelEous and the rules before is so easy for a big man. put russell and chamberlain in today's rules, i see them like an average center. most of their blocks are goaltending
@chikilan11 i'd say russell was more of a defensive and rebounding center...chamberlain and kareem are prob more complete than shaq...but shaq was so dominant that he didnt need to learn as many post moves because he just straight overpowered everyone and anyone....if they played each other shaq would be the hardest to guard
The reason these guys are better is because they have more access to knowledge of the game. With the knowledge Chamberlain had, its amazing what he could do with it. Coaches werent nearly as good either. We would have to see what Shaq would be able to do in their eras. Thats why its hard to compare players in different eras. Imo its all those centers you listed>shaq
@youn0itdude but the rules of the game before gave them a lot of advantage e.g. no goaltending plus most of the players are garbage and no challenge at all. i see them getting schooled by shaq when they play one on one. besides shaq's knowledge about basketball is monstrous except the free throw line.
@chikilan11 most of the players are garbage? in 60s/70s era every team has a hall of famer plus less teams so it was much more competitive and harder to enter the league
@TheReeeeeech today is much more competitve unlike before the game's rules is easy to play just dont put the ref's bs calls. the most competitive era be in the 80's and 90's where shaq was still a rookie til he won his 1st championship. ok, i said most of the players before are garbage. do you think those people who played in the 60's and 70's can ball up the players from 00's til today. or the 90's players? no! i see them go to school.
@chikilan11 Wilt Chamberlain ,Jerry west, Bill Russel, Nate Thurmond, Oscar Robertson, Rick Barry, Nate Archibald cant compete in todays era? the every allstar of the 70s decade team except Bob Lanier is in the 50 greatest nba players. shaq benched 450 in his prime. wilt benched 500 in his prime with less nutrition and less equipment wilt at aqge 50 benched more then shaq with 465. Bill russel had a 42 inch vertical leap shaq had 32. wilt had a better vertical then Michael jordan
@TheReeeeeech thats it? in today's era kobe, lebron, garnett, nowitzki, gasol,howard, shaq, durant, rose, wade and more all stars today is enough to pack them bags to go to school. yeah they are listed in the 50 greatest players of all time. no disrespect to that but there skills are not enough to overthrow my list. or if you want the 90's dream team, lets see what they got. shaq played those great players and became great by playing against them.
@chikilan11 your list is better u got rose who jacked up shots the emtire playoffs and shrank in the playoffs, lebron who averaged 3 points in 4th quarter in the nba finals, kobe got swept, gasol turned into gasoft, howard isnt even that great hes only noticed because all the other centers today suck, nowitzki isnt a great defender. Wilt is the only player to record a double triple double and led the league in assists which no center has done. Oscar averaged a triple double for a season
@TheReeeeeech well they made those stats by playing most of the garbage players in the 60's and 70's. today's competition is much better than before. and what you just said to my list are the things that happened in the 2011 playoffs not their stats as a player since they started to play in the nba. do you think oscar can defend kobe or lebron? how about wilt guarding shaq? i see ownage!
@chikilan11 i see shaq getting owned wilt was stronger then shaq better vertical wilt at age 60 is stronger then shaq in his prime. wilt dislocated gus johnsons shoulder with a block he broke johnny kerrs toe with a dunk. all shaq has on him is fat. Wilt had more stamina averaging 46 minutes for his career
@TheReeeeeech what shaq can do is shown in the video. i watch his game on espn classics. he is like shaq but his not agile and athletic. he is fat but he can run faster and jumps higher.

@chikilan11 i'd say russell was more of a defensive and rebounding center...chamberlain and kareem are prob more complete than shaq...but shaq was so dominant that he didnt need to learn as many post moves because he just straight overpowered everyone and anyone....if they played each other shaq would be the hardest to guard

@chikilan11
The reason these guys are better is because they have more access to knowledge of the game. With the knowledge Chamberlain had, its amazing what he could do with it. Coaches werent nearly as good either. We would have to see what Shaq would be able to do in their eras. Thats why its hard to compare players in different eras. Imo its all those centers you listed>shaq

@youn0itdude but the rules of the game before gave them a lot of advantage e.g. no goaltending plus most of the players are garbage and no challenge at all. i see them getting schooled by shaq when they play one on one. besides shaq's knowledge about basketball is monstrous except the free throw line.

@chikilan11 most of the players are garbage? in 60s/70s era every team has a hall of famer plus less teams so it was much more competitive and harder to enter the league

@TheReeeeeech today is much more competitve unlike before the game's rules is easy to play just dont put the ref's bs calls. the most competitive era be in the 80's and 90's where shaq was still a rookie til he won his 1st championship. ok, i said most of the players before are garbage. do you think those people who played in the 60's and 70's can ball up the players from 00's til today. or the 90's players? no! i see them go to school.

@chikilan11 Wilt Chamberlain ,Jerry west, Bill Russel, Nate Thurmond, Oscar Robertson, Rick Barry, Nate Archibald cant compete in todays era? the every allstar of the 70s decade team except Bob Lanier is in the 50 greatest nba players. shaq benched 450 in his prime. wilt benched 500 in his prime with less nutrition and less equipment wilt at aqge 50 benched more then shaq with 465. Bill russel had a 42 inch vertical leap shaq had 32. wilt had a better vertical then Michael jordan

@TheReeeeeech thats it? in today's era kobe, lebron, garnett, nowitzki, gasol,howard, shaq, durant, rose, wade and more all stars today is enough to pack them bags to go to school. yeah they are listed in the 50 greatest players of all time. no disrespect to that but there skills are not enough to overthrow my list. or if you want the 90's dream team, lets see what they got. shaq played those great players and became great by playing against them.
chikilan11 6 months ago
@chikilan11 your list is better u got rose who jacked up shots the emtire playoffs and shrank in the playoffs, lebron who averaged 3 points in 4th quarter in the nba finals, kobe got swept, gasol turned into gasoft, howard isnt even that great hes only noticed because all the other centers today suck, nowitzki isnt a great defender. Wilt is the only player to record a double triple double and led the league in assists which no center has done. Oscar averaged a triple double for a season

@TheReeeeeech well they made those stats by playing most of the garbage players in the 60's and 70's. today's competition is much better than before. and what you just said to my list are the things that happened in the 2011 playoffs not their stats as a player since they started to play in the nba. do you think oscar can defend kobe or lebron? how about wilt guarding shaq? i see ownage!
chikilan11 6 months ago
@chikilan11 i see shaq getting owned wilt was stronger then shaq better vertical wilt at age 60 is stronger then shaq in his prime. wilt dislocated gus johnsons shoulder with a block he broke johnny kerrs toe with a dunk. all shaq has on him is fat. Wilt had more stamina averaging 46 minutes for his career

@TheReeeeeech what shaq can do is shown in the video. i watch his game on espn classics. he is like shaq but his not agile and athletic. he is fat but he can run faster and jumps higher.
chikilan11 6 months ago
@chikilan11 wilt isnt agile as shaq? -.- wilt was a track star his 100 yard dash was 10.9
