So where does he rank in the list of all-time greatest centers?

That's tough. I think if he had the drive, he could have been #1. I think some time needs to pass before... ok, maybe not.
I think in the end, he'll be ranked just below Kareem/Russell... probably on a par with Wilt.

can you explain what does this mean? for the non-native people that use english ?

:)


I was joking around :)

The way Shaq talks is often very hard to understand, even for us native english speakers.

Here are a couple of comedians who make fun of the way Shaq talks. Warning-bad language.

....and Jamie Foxx-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXFX7cXo9M0&NR=1&f...

DL Hughley once said-If you ever piss Shaq off just dress like a free throw. That way you know he wont ever hit you.

AHAHAHAHA, probably the funniest thing i've read in awhile!

I would have to put Shaq in my top 5, like another person said, if he tried he could have easily been the greatest but he is easily the most interesting person to ever play basketball. I will miss his entertainment. Dwight Howard is not funny and needs to stop trying to be funny, Shaq is Superman the original son of Jor-el

Love that immediately, LA came out and said "yes, we will be retiring that jersey".

Honestly, for me...its:

Wilt
Abdul Jabber
Shaq
Russell
Ojabuwon

somewhere in there is George Mikan.

I never saw Wilt or Russell play, but I can look at their numbers. Russell, both and college, is better in terms of championships. But I don't honestly think that there was a player quite like Chamberlain. Shaq, in my lifetime, was certainly the most dominate player I've ever seen (including Kobe, Jordan and Olajuwon). Not for his entire career, but at his peak, I don't think there was ever a player as dominate as he was.

Also, I think George Mikan has to be in there somewhere. Would he have matched up aginst Wilt or Shaq or Howard? Probably not...but for his time, I think he was probably more dominate than Wilt, Jordan or Shaq.

yea i could see why you'd put wilt #1 because the NBA did change many rules against his game but I only had wilt at 3 because of i guess championships but yea the rule changes against him definitely don't show on his stats or achievements.

and on shaq, at his height and weight, he was very athletic and there definitely wasn't another person near his size and athleticism.

good arguement
