I say shaq is better he played against better centers in the nba in his prime. Dwight should've won a ring by now because his competition is what? chandler? kwame brown? darko ? c'mon....
cant realy compare two players that play on different possitions...
Shaq, Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing were dominant Cs of 90s
KG, Tim, Barkley, Kemp PFs.
imo if ud like to compare Dwight with some1 do it with Barkley or Kemp, and he will fall down inches short of his target since one is HoF and another one is well the Reignman lmao.
Shaq was dominant because majority of league Cs were already past their prime when he got in to his, and im talking about real dominant Cs, as Robinson, Olajuwon and Ewing which all r couple of years older than Shaq... Shaq would dominate only due to his sheree size, and that advantage can be turned in to a dissadvantage, flopping when u r standing next to something thats 7,1 and ~330, it moves, u take the flop and the big guy gets an off foul, easy as that.
@wowzers57 Because there r no Cs in the league anymore, u might have missed it, but all the real Cs either retiered or r waaaaay past their prime, 6,11 isnt exactly what i would call a center... maybe in europe, but NBA standrads of 90s... 7.0 or higher. as ive sadi he is closer to Kemp who was 6,10 with aprox the same weight than to Shaq or any other real C that made an impact in the league thro history.
@vladanation Please... Don't spread false statements based on your "opinion"
A Center is a Center, in the 90's there were a shitload of big guys, but they sucked. Bradley comes to mind. I was around when the big men dominated the game, yeah it's all great we get it. I'll just leave this nugget of info here. Bill Russel, a pioneer was not a tall center. 6'9.
If Howard isn't tall and strong enough to be considered a Center, then I don't know who is buddy.
@vladanation I wouldn't disagree that C's today suck. Doesn't mean shit though. You just can't disregard Howards plays center not PF, just because you believe he isn't "physically qualified"
Why not bring in Russel he was a prime example. Here is another example. Hakeem Olajuwon.
@wowzers57 Bill played 50ish years ago and that alone should put him out of this conversation, on the other hand Hakeem was listed 7.0, thus u fail yet again, good examples...
U could use Magic as an example, because he played C couple of games due to Jabbars injury and was 6.9.
im looking at all these comments and people are actually debating between shaq and dwight,SHAQ IS WAY MORE DOMINATE THAN DWIGHT WILL EVER BE GET IT INTO UR HEAD
@MrArchiie so your saying he better? wth are you kidding me. were talking about diwght in his prime and shaq in his prime. im a fan of dwight but you got to accept the truth that shaq is just a little bit better.
@tHeMaN998rocks Dwight turned 24 last year so he won't be in his prime for 2 or three years. That is scary because if develops a fundamentally sound offense he will be the second comming of Wilt(except Wilt could also lead team in assists and hit frethrows)
Dwight will be only Dwight. Just like Jordan, there will never be another Shaq. Dwight is not as dominant as Shaq in his prime and never will be unless he gets better competition...
shaqs first 7 seasons 27.1ppg 12 rebs 2.5 asts 2.6 blks....Howard 18.2 ppg 12.9 rebs 1.5 asts 2.2 blks....shaqs better in virtually every stat cept rebounding....Howard will never be the scorer shaq was and as intimidating as dwight howard is...shaq was just a mammoth in the paint 7'1 350 pounds he caused more fear than howard...the only thing i give dwight a slight edge in is the ft% and rebounding...shaqs a better passer even than dwight
@ridore9 YOU ALSO HAVE TO SAY DWIGHT IS A BETTER DEFEDER HELL YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST GIVE HIM THE AWARD EVERY YEAR . HE WON IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW AND WILL KEEP GETTING THE AWARD .
@ryanr20091 i don't think the numbers support that....shaq was better than dwight his first couple years...he just didnt win the award...dwights defense is mostly regulated giving weak side help but when someone posts him up he is only good not great....bigger centers give him problems as well...as far as protecting the paint he's the best in the leauge but post defense he still has more to learn...but i bet if they had a poll who's more intimidating shaq or dwight shaq would win....
After Howard's career is over, Shaq will still go down in history as a much better player. Both blocked shots and rebounded about the same. Neither of them could shoot FTs, but Shaq had much more touch around the rim, and WAY more post moves. Shaq avgd. 36 and 18 in the finals during the Lakers 3-peat. Howard avgd. 15 points in his only finals appearance in 2009, including games of 11 pts. and 12 pts.! Yeah they were both clowns and attention whores, but Shaq had killer instinct on the court.
I would pick Shaq because no matter what decade or era of basketball he would dominate he was to big, strong, fast for any one person to take. Howard is allowed to dominate now (not taking anything away from his skills) because so many of the rules have changed and favor scoring.
@TheLeBronJames6Fan I'm a hardcore Lebron fan, Shaq destroyed Lebron on that dance floor though. Not a lot of NBA players can see Shaq. I think John wall would be the only one.
Sorry people, Dawkins said it himself. Breakaway rims are designed to handle power dunks from the front. To break the backboards now, all you have to do is dunk from the side with enough power. Nothing is Dawkins proof.
Some random youtube guy said it, so it must be true.
real quick. Your defending the post. And you have to guard either shaq or howard. Howard can dunk over you . But shaq is gonna power your ass out of his way. Shaq fan :)
That must be the slowest reverse layup I've ever seen in my life 2:13. Oh man, he was 3 inch off the floor and it took 3 seconds to actually swing it to the other side! Thats just poor defense! Go Shaq!
dwight came into the league when the rims were reinforced to be able to handle shaqs weight so i doubt dwight would be able to break any rims down nowadays
@TheJayboi44 you have to look at overall skill though. shaq could pass and had great post up moves. I like D.Howard but he cant pass very well and he always spins to his right side
@xyxean you can most definitely compare the two.. first off they place the same position. 2nd of all they're both from the magics and lead their teams to the finals. 3rdly both are post up players with hooks and dunks as their main scoring technique.
@m14closerangeSniper Yao Ming cant even stay healthy for a day dude. dwight has played all his nba career and shaq still playing. soo yeah and how many rings does yao have?? ...... ZERO so when he gets one and stays healthy for a year you can talk ok thanks.
@lopezjuny yeah i know thats 1 of his problems. but dwight doesnt have a ring neither. It aint about who has the most ring is about who post or who skools who.
@nextbestrockstar i used to BELIVE IN D12 but then i started seing he only posterizes lil guys or medium sized but i never seen him do that to any other big guy like, KG, Paul Gassol, Yao, Shaq, A Bynum, Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, ETC!
@omann888 You Idiot, Use Your Brain! Do You Think After Shaq Breaks The "Basket And Rims" A Few Times The NBA Will Buy 10X Stronger "Basket And Rims" So That Shit Does'nt Happen Again ??
@07liberian how bout you shut the fuck up its called a joke obviously breaking a rim or a backboard doesnt have anything to do with skill so you can stop taking it up the ass from dwight howard
@07liberian you obviously dont have a sense of humor because you seem like a pretty big faggot that i dont want to talk to so dont respond cuz i wont respond
@omann888 Shaq broke more baskets and rims because when he was at his prime, they were straight up garbage. Theres your answere. Dwight is the most athletic center in NBA history. And yeah Shaq is great, but I get so tired of seing him do the same dunk every time. Mix it up a bit. Be like Dwight and make people wonder whats next.
@omann888 the only reason shaq broke all those baskets and rims is because when he entered the league the rims were not as re enforced because there was no need to because no one was as big and strong as shaq back then
@777donmakaveli your a retard they put the springs in the rims a LONG TIME AGO i mean long long they were perfectly fine shaq just hangs like nobody else
@omann888 they darryl dawkins' proofed the backboard glass because dawkins only shattered the glass shaq broke the whole structure which they then had to re-inforce as well. The rings are therefore shaq-proofed! :P
@omann888 no matter how hard you try you cant break today's backboard/rims anymore....the ones that would break would have the rim wedged inbetween the glass.
@8MunchenBayern8 but i remember shaq didnt just break backboards... he broke the actual hydrolics that hold up the actually backboard once...the whole thing came down... i think he can he still break it but he doesnt hang on the rim while on the down motion of the dunks anymore. it a delay of game warning anyways...
@omann888 lol shaq has about 100 lbs of pure fat on dwight. also shaq only broke rims b4 they were reinforced. if dwight was dunkin on the same rims as shaq, there probably would be brooken rims every night.
@omann888 nowadays, rims are a lot stronger than they has been before, if the rims would have been the same howard would have broken as much or more rims than shaq
@omann888 that's such a stupid argument...backboards before were made without springs and were directly attached to the glass so any pressure/bending on the rim is supposed to make the glass deform taht is shatter...today's baskets are made with springs for apsorbing the force,and the rim is attached to the pillar not the glass!
@frytsz007 then how come centers during and even before shaqs time didnt break the backboard when they were so weak? robinson, ewing, chamberlain, Olajuwon, Karl and Moses malone, bill russell
why do you even need to argue who is better who is stronger?Simply enjoy the video... because there are two explosive Centers/human highlight reels in it
@omann888 thats cause they fixed the rims and strengthened it. the fact that howard was able to break a shot clock on a strengthened rim says something
To the guy down there talking about wilt scoring 80 on him I no chamberlain was great but back when he plated th NBA wasn't made up of people who were 6 to 7 feet tall and wilt was like 7'1 against people who were like 5 feet tall
@SFO14 Shaq right up to the Suns Era was most monstrous good - way the best C in the league all those prime years of his career.
I been watchin the NBA since Wit was posting up Bill Russell and I gotta put the Aristotle in the Top 5 list of all time Cs
No question about his greatness above any and all since Dream - shoot even in short stretches last year he was stomping every C in the league that fat old man shaq is STILL great.
@Vstrat0 hell yeah! I was telling people last season that if Shaq WANTED he could still be a top center in the league but there was no need since he was playing a role...but he still put up decent numbers, and I'd take him over a lot of other guys to fill my bench
@TheJayboi44 Shaq has nothing to prove to anyone, he doesn't need to prove to Dwight that he's better....the man is 38!!! he's just having fun and getting paid at the same time. You're right about Dwight having a better work ethic, but Shaq was a freak of nature and got lazy b/c he relied on his natural talents, and he was still the most dominant player on the planet in his prime. Imagine if he put the work in!!
@SFO14 Of course he was. But you can see the fire in Dwights eyes every time he gets the ball. And Shaq would never work as hard as Dwight to stay fit and be a beast.
guy's I know you look at shaq past he's awesome i accept but you guy need to look at the future who do you see as superman dwight and dwight doesent has as much experence as shaq. whas with kobe lebron wade nash and a hole lot of more but dwight asen't experienced it yet
Shaq says he'll be playing BEYOND next season. I think he's going for 30,000 career points, a healthy Shaq for 2 seasons = 30,000 Career points for the most dominant center ever..
@DMeloMan Hey man put shaq, hakeem, kareem, and wilt chamberlin in their primes. Compare them to shaq. None of them could stop him. All these centers weigh in at 260 pounds some 270. Shaq in his prime was almost 75-100 pounds heavier than all of them. And he has a 39 inch vertical. No center can stop him.
Maybe, but since you can't do that you can't say that. They all have different strenghts anyway, Kareem with the hook, Olajuwan with the foot work and jumper, Shaq with the best finishing ability ever.
@DMeloMan DMelo? You? man i thought i was just talking to a stanger. Wattup man. Didn't know it was you. Anyway, Shaq is the best center ever man. Plain and simple. They can't stop him, he can stop them.
shaq is a real beast. when he gets close to the basket, its impossible to stop him. Dwight young and has a lot of potentials. shaq and howard is different. you'll see when dwight reach shaq's age.
all howard can do is dunk...nothing else...atleast shaq has a jump hook and some post moves....i wanna see how dominate howard will be when hes 38 and cant jump outta the building anymore...
shaq combined his talent, size , strenght and intelegnet into his game he came into the NBA's 50 greatest players of all time just at his 3th year of his career and came into the play offs vs rockets, he was better at his rookie with 24 ppg , 13,5 rpg and 3,5 bpg, better then dwight howard after 5-yrs expiriance now, but dwight is beast to, but still shaq at almost 38 years he can't be suprised by any center, even dwight howard
Shaq has more experience, Dwight needs experience but who knows someday Dwight gets better than Shaq. At this moment Shaq is better, but Dwight have more to play...
@sangalhosrodax dwight will never be better than Shaq...nor as dominant...nor as SKILLED and Post Sound as Shaq. Dwight is in his 5th season?? shaq was 10x better than him in his 5th season, Dwights Alright but SHAQ is the most dominant center since Chamberlain and probably the most dominant center EVER...
Shaq has a touch and killer instinct that Dwight may never have. He has a lot to offer, but watch Magic/Lakers Shaq, dunks EVERYTHING, and one. Better touch round the basket. Love Dwight but not there yet.
Shaq's presence in the paint is almost unbeatable, but only because of his size. Dwight has more capabilities. Shaq -Power -Size -More oppertunities in post -Good shot selection Dwight -Not given ball as much, takes literally 1/2 shots per game O'Neal did in prime, which could drastically change his points for the better -Better defense -Shoots better -Only 24 years old and improving -Rebounding skills are possibly the best for size since Dennis Rodman by end of career Dwight > Shaq
shaq nunca ha hecho ganador a un equipo, hakeem lo humilló y le enseño lo que era jugar de poste y rodman lo detuvo como nadie, despues de esa era no hubo nadie en al liga con tal inteligencia dfensiva, talvez los blazers del 2000 con alguien que lo marcara bien, hubiera acabado con los lakers, pero en fin el shaq esta acabado
In their primes Shaq was faster than Dwight...Dwight is slow as hell compared to the centers of the 90's..the vertical part yes Dwight does have an advantage including his defense, which is much better than O'neal's.
O'neal's speed can only be matched by a prime David Robinson (who covers the whole floor faster than any center i've ever seen)
Shaq's quickness is also only matched by Olajuwon, who has a slight edge over Shaq due to him being leaner and smaller
finally not a vid about kobe vs lebron lol. if you look at shaqtus'es career he is the shit! I love shaq! we need to see dwight in like 3 years and then look at his accomplishments compaired to shaq, if dwight has a career as long as shaq then there is no doubt in my mind that he will be one of the most dominant centers of all time. plus there is nothing to hate about dwight. he is a stand up guy and funny and a great teammate.
@hefalumpkin you must be a teenager. its obvious u havent seen shaq in his prime. if it come down to numbers dwight is better? lol look it up. shaq in his ROOKIE season averaged more blocks more points and same rebound as howard has NOW in his 5th season. I hate it when stupid 15 year olds talk. go rent some documentaries about 90s nba to see shaq in his peek. he dominated hakeem robinson ewing etc. unlike dwight who 'dominates' randolph kaman and okur... lol
@psychhoo your a fuckin sock puppet, I said shaq was the shit and he was obviously better than Dwight, thats why i said look at him in a few years, i never compared them to eachother. fuckin loser.
@psychhoo lmao dude. haha. those are very loppy players. haha. for god sakes, i think shaq is way better than howard.. but howard can be like shaq.. practice reaches everything. and sometimes surpasses everything.
@Vstrat0 u on crack....... dwight howard is the most athletic center ever to play in the nba...... not saying the best.... but the most athletic.... he dunked a 12 foot goal with ease.
and what happened to your nba is that it exploded and became much larger than what it was back then......inceasing the talent pool and skillset of the players today..... and will just continue.... its kind of like evolution if you think about it...... same with every other sport for that matter
@GMforlife90 most athletic?? man come on now! Chamberlain ran a 47 sec 400 meter, high jumped 6'10" & pressed 465lbs. Read The Rivalry or Larger than Life.
But right here on youtube - search on wilt@kansas speedness to see Chamberlain bust a sprint on the court & THEN TELL ME HOWARD CAN RUN LIKE THAT
ain't no way
Howard's all right. Dream , Moses, Kareem, Shaq, would jack his world. Shoot Robert Parish would post him up and make him eat smelly old sweatsocks while Bird stood off & laughed.
@hefalumpkin Um, yes Dwight really has nice hops but he has not enough offensive skills like shaq had.. Shaq had a Spin move a cross over and dribbling skills.. compared to Dwight today he's only fast and has hops but shaq can still beast him in the post.
@mickypure Are you kidding me?! Haha! Howard is a beast and blocks atleast five shots every game! And he doesnt need to cross. He powers his way to the rim like a bulldozer.

@omann888 Shaq broke more baskets and rims because when he was at his prime, they were straight up garbage. Theres your answere. Dwight is the most athletic center in NBA history. And yeah Shaq is great, but I get so tired of seing him do the same dunk every time. Mix it up a bit. Be like Dwight and make people wonder whats next.
TheJayboi44 1 year ago
@omann888 the only reason shaq broke all those baskets and rims is because when he entered the league the rims were not as re enforced because there was no need to because no one was as big and strong as shaq back then

@8MunchenBayern8 but i remember shaq didnt just break backboards... he broke the actual hydrolics that hold up the actually backboard once...the whole thing came down... i think he can he still break it but he doesnt hang on the rim while on the down motion of the dunks anymore. it a delay of game warning anyways...

@omann888 nowadays, rims are a lot stronger than they has been before, if the rims would have been the same howard would have broken as much or more rims than shaq
jesusquisensbon 6 months ago
@omann888 that's such a stupid argument...backboards before were made without springs and were directly attached to the glass so any pressure/bending on the rim is supposed to make the glass deform taht is shatter...today's baskets are made with springs for apsorbing the force,and the rim is attached to the pillar not the glass!

No question about his greatness above any and all since Dream - shoot even in short stretches last year he was stomping every C in the league that fat old man shaq is STILL great.
Vstrat0 1 year ago
@Vstrat0 hell yeah! I was telling people last season that if Shaq WANTED he could still be a top center in the league but there was no need since he was playing a role...but he still put up decent numbers, and I'd take him over a lot of other guys to fill my bench

@TheJayboi44 Shaq has nothing to prove to anyone, he doesn't need to prove to Dwight that he's better....the man is 38!!! he's just having fun and getting paid at the same time. You're right about Dwight having a better work ethic, but Shaq was a freak of nature and got lazy b/c he relied on his natural talents, and he was still the most dominant player on the planet in his prime. Imagine if he put the work in!!

@SFO14 Of course he was. But you can see the fire in Dwights eyes every time he gets the ball. And Shaq would never work as hard as Dwight to stay fit and be a beast.

In their primes Shaq was faster than Dwight...Dwight is slow as hell compared to the centers of the 90's..the vertical part yes Dwight does have an advantage including his defense, which is much better than O'neal's.
O'neal's speed can only be matched by a prime David Robinson (who covers the whole floor faster than any center i've ever seen)
Shaq's quickness is also only matched by Olajuwon, who has a slight edge over Shaq due to him being leaner and smaller

@hefalumpkin you must be a teenager. its obvious u havent seen shaq in his prime. if it come down to numbers dwight is better? lol look it up. shaq in his ROOKIE season averaged more blocks more points and same rebound as howard has NOW in his 5th season. I hate it when stupid 15 year olds talk. go rent some documentaries about 90s nba to see shaq in his peek. he dominated hakeem robinson ewing etc. unlike dwight who 'dominates' randolph kaman and okur... lol

But right here on youtube - search on wilt@kansas speedness to see Chamberlain bust a sprint on the court & THEN TELL ME HOWARD CAN RUN LIKE THAT
ain't no way
