Thread: Shaq Is No Longer Dominant

Helzyeh66, you maybe right.  Shaq is known for coasting in the regular season and trying to turn it on in the playoffs.  Thats probably why he only won one MVP award for the season.  In any case, it will be interesting to see if he can do it at the age of 38 by that time. 

Sports Went back to check and you are right. I was mistaken except for the one FG.

If Dwight doesn't sniff shaq's level, I am cool.  I will get up in the morning Lord willing.  Shaq was once one of the best in his era.  THat day is long gone now and its Dwight who holds that distinction currently like it or not.  BTW, if he doesn't sniff shaq's level, he is still on pace to be one of the best and thats all you can ask for as an athlete.  I am hoping...

We are spending waaaaay too much time on Howard. This post is about the Diesel, no one else! The fact is that Shaq is no longer the Diesel just as Iverson is no longer "The Answer." It amazes me how quickly fans can forget how great a player was. I laugh when I hear people compare any player to MJ because in most cases, the comparisons are comical; almost as comical as comparing this Shaq to the Diesel. The younger Shaq was bigger,...

BTW...........Kareem playing on one of the greatest squads of all time must say something if at the age of 38 he was still the number one gun.  How can you knock that?  Isn't shaq considered to be on a championship contending team right now?  So his chances to florish is still there as Kareem was.  I don't know many teams where shaq would be the number one gun right now. So like I said his numbers...

I hear yah, nighthawk.... After all, we can only talk about what is there and what may be there. I just think that Shaq right now is playing better than his numbers.  But only time will tell if that remains true.

you have good points whoosh thats why i stated "take what you want from that"

Shaq is probably the most dominate 37 year old I've seen play Man you really are stupid. Does it look like I've watched Kareem or Wilt? I've been watching Shaq since I was a kid. And he's the most dominant player I've seen play the game. I'd put him as even more dominant than Michael. Because some nights Michael could have an off shooting night. But Shaq shot nothing but high percentage shots. And he would put...

The Cavaliers brought in Shaq to help out LeBron James and take some pressure off the Cavs.  Is he as dominant as he was in years past no, but he still can push people around and see how things turn out.  I used the same thing for the Bulls , it is too early in the season to judge or panic (not that I am saying you are).  I don't think he will be like he was with Kobe and company but he will be ok. He only...

  The younger Shaq was bigger, stronger, and faster by far than everyone he faced. In a lot of ways, he was like a bigger version of Howard, unpolished offensively and a pure beast. Shaq had a lot more polish offensively than Howard at this point in his career.  His footwork was great, his coordination was too, his hands were great, and he was dominant with his back to the basket.   He was a very good...
