Kazaam was a one-trick-pony, back down, baseline spin, dunk. His game was largely predicated on the chicken-and-egg argument of "abuse or abused". His game wouldn't transcend eras as well as Olajuwon's would, as far as the contact and foul calls. Plus, u could count on The Dream in the clutch, a better leader, lead weaker squads to 'ships (includin' aganist O'Neals own damn sqaud that was favored to win that series), and again, Kobe and Phil are a HUGE reason why Shaq was able to put up the numbers and accomplishments he did in Los Angeles, let alone the disparity in talent

I think it's stamped that those 5 bigs go first. As I was doing this I thought about how the NBA really did used to be a big man's league.

Yep. Look at that list. David Robinson in 1996 would EASILY and I mean NO CONTEST be the best big in the NBA right now and back in 96 you'd probably take 4 other PF's or C's before him

yea you right. I may have jumped the gun with saying Barkley over Robinson in 96 but you could make a case you'd take Malone, Shaq, and Dream over em in 96
Players on the roster: Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, John Stockton, David Robinson, Gary Payton, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond
Just trying to do something different around here
btw:
Hakeem
Shaq
Malone
Robinson
Barkley
Stockton
Pippen
Payton
Hill
Richmond
Miller
Penny
Now this actually surprises me more than Shaq > Dream. In what universe is Reggie fukkin' Miller better than any of these players?? WTF??? 
The issue at hand was where people stood historically rather than who was the best at their respective peaks. Beyond that it's not like anybody put Reggie over Dream or some shyt. Only nikkas that are being put after him are cats who had their careers derailed by injuries.

Penny didn't have a better CAREER than Reggie Miller
Ed MOTHEREFFING G
Chances make champions
You didn't watch him at his peak. Someone drop the youtube video of the game where he scored 60 in 2000, you see his REAL offensive repitore.
His turn around hook was UNSTOPPABLE

H-Town it's NOT our year
Then why did Shaq admit Dream was better than him?
I never heard Shaq say anyone was better than him other than Hakeem
Not only shaq but Big Shot Rob and Jordan said Hakeem>>Shaq
Hakeem
Shaq
Robinson
Malone
Barkley
Pippen
Miller
Payton
Stockton
Penny
Hill
Richmond
Ok, cool. I thought it was by who was the better player, but ur da OP, ur criteria is by career, so I guess Reggie's better in THAT regard...
