He was a center that played at a PF position until Robinson retired. As a center Shaq got nothing on him. Also, if Jokić wins another ring I'm putting him ahead of Shaq easily. The knowledge that Jokić has in his pinkie, Shaq doesn't have in his whole basketball being. All his need is at least another chip. Shaq was more physically imposing and dominant than all those guys, but not a better player.

It's because even if you think Shaq is better, it's close enough that no one should have an issue with someone thinking one is better than the other. It's more about personal preference at that point. Hakeem was more well rounded, but Shaq to me was so much better offensively (I don't care about bag, I care about efficiency, which Shaq kills Hakeem there) that it outweighs the other areas Hakeem was better in. Wilt I can even give a pass because of the gawdy numbers (I have Shaq higher, but I can at least understand why people have Wilt higher). Duncan is definitely more a power forward than a center. It's like calling AD a center lol. They're power forwards that play the 5 due to matchups. You ain't moving Kareem or Shaq to the 4 no matter who is alongside them. Then the Moses take was absurd. Great player, but c'mon. He was basically a smaller and less athletic Shaq. Shit, Shaq's bag was even deeper than Moses. And I say this as someone who thinks Moses gets slept on too much.

Rebounding is actually pretty close but Hakeem still has an edge over in TRB. But the dream is hands down the most skilled center still. And he still leads in BLKs and STLs compared to all centers. And if he was actually as big or just as strong as Shaq, he’d probably be actually the greatest center of all time and possibly would’ve won more chips tbh.
