Shaq is a 4 time champ, 3xFMVP.....

And despite this yes he underachieved.....

People often talk about the supposed physical advantages a guy like Lebron has......Shaq was an absolute genetic anomaly.

In his younger more fit days....Shaq had excellent footwork, amazing ability to get post position, very strong and imposing, amazing agility, ran the floor like a gazelle, shattered defensive schemes......demanded constant double teams...

Yes he sold himself short....he had a ridiculous amount of statistical production left on the table due to his fitness issues

There is really no debate. He had the physical tools, the IQ, and the teammates to be a modern day Russell.

Yea Shaq in Orlando was lean strong and leaping out the gym while still being very physical,LA Shaq was a freight train,had he just been able to combine the 2 :mjcry:

It woulda been a real real real problem for the league :wow:

He didn't even have to do that...all he had to do was stay in shape and play hard consistently on both ends. He had the teammates almost every year.

But that's what he woulda been had he been in shape,a combination of both. Big and strong like LA Shaq but still quick and explosive like Orlando Shaq.
