He was over 300 pounds with a drop step on either side of the basket.....and could run the floor and use baby hooks with each hand...

His footwork in the post was great and he could pass extremely well out of the post.....Vlade buggin....

You don't dominate like that for that long without being talented....Don't care if he came in on the tail end of the big man era or not
Shaq came in the middle of the last great big man era and dominated even before his own prime.

The era Shaq played in was no joke. The top centers of Today would have been power fowards for their teams in Shaq's day. When you are up against David Robinson, Ewing, Olajawon...
Ironically, even Divac's power foward teammate could play center today if he wanted. Chris Webber could post alot of these centers up today. And even Divac who was on the lightweight soft side in his era would be running dudes like Pao Gasol over today. He weighs less than Pau, but he'd posterize dude. And when Vlade 'Flopmaster General' Divac is posterizing you the game has gone soft.

But he still needs to stfu talking about Shaq.

The problem is, the kings were talented, but not strong :wow:

:childplease:



Kings were rigged out of the ring that year. Same with other teams who go against the league's golden child team.

On topic, I don't get Divac's logic. Cousins is good, but nothing special compared to the guys he played with in his era. Maybe he was saying this shyt to get attention. Shaquille O'Neal couldn't be stopped during the Laker's 3-peat, even if the refs did rig the games for them O'Neal was dominating the teams himself. Especially the Trailblazers :mjlol:

Had Scottie wishing he had Jordan back :mjpls:

Best Centers of all time:

1. Hakeem Olajuwon
2. Shaquille O'Neal

:mjpls:

When Shaquille O'Neal was on the court the other Centers and Power Forwards stepped in the ring and had the same facial expression as this young breh when they witnessed his power:

Yeah that aint nothin but Sacramento saltiness. Shaq was definitely talented, if he worked harder like Kobe said he woulda been the undisputed GOAT.

Shaq actually had great touch in the paint, plus his post moves were only surpassed by the Admiral and Hakeem. Plus he became a better free throw shooter later in his career. Divac needs to take a seat, Boogie isn't more talented than Anthony Davis.
