Theres nothing more BS than the title "most dominant ever"

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Why was this title literally CREATED for shaq? Its obvious people did not want to say best, so, they created MDE, which is bullshyt. If you DOMINATE, are you not the best?? Why did they seperate this for him and him only?

ftw

Didn't he give himself that nickname when he was gong thru that stretch of self given corny nicknames?

 

[Houston911]

shaq has one or two scoring titles
he has 4 rings
he never led the league in blocks or rebounding
he never made 1st team all defense

HOW THE fukk IS HE THE MOST DOMINANT PLAYER EVER?

Pay attention to how helpless his opponents look when he does what he does.

That, houston, is him dominating them.

You didn't answer my question

I never said he isn't dominant

How is he more dominant than Jordan?

Out of respect, i will answer your question. I do believe he was more dominant than michael jordan because i believe the gap between himself and his peers was greater than the gap between michael jordan and his peers.


But

You're changing the thread's topic and i will not allow you to do that.

This is about the title "most dominant ever" being used to protect his peers, so he is somehow not in the "best" catagory.

Shaq gave himself the nickname, bruh.

Shaq gave himself the nickname, bruh.

Even if so, i see "most dominant ever, but not the best" talking point ad nauseum about oneal. Its trash to me.

 

[Houston911]

If you wanna say prime shaq or mvp shaq, that's fine....but overall shaq did not dominate his peers like Mike did. If he did he'd have more rings and records to show for it. I don't even see how this is a debate.

Just because shaq bulldozed defenders and physically imposed his will doesn't make his impact more dominant than mikes

 

[Mic-Nificent]

You really don't get how it's possible to be the most dominant and not necessarily be the best?

 

[jadillac]

I think "dominate" means two different things in sports. In SHAQs case I always believed it referred to his physical domination of whoever was guarding him


Like they would say,"Oneal is just dominating Dudley down low"

Meanwhile MJ being a dominant player referred to him winning all the time

 

[Ready2Rhyme]

Like I've always said, it just wouldn't FEEL right calling a player who didn't shoot 3's or FT's well, the greatest player of all time. It's really all about feelings....

In the same token, almost nobody finds it hard to sympathize with a defender trying to guard Shaq. Hence - MDE
