When Shaq came in the league the "legends" had already been in damn near 10 years. And this was back when they had been to college for four years and by then they were in their 30's when he arrived -
Hakeem the Dream 93-95The Dream was a far better defender and re bounder

Shaq Diesel 01-03The Dream was killin, but being honest, Shaq in his prime was on Wilt level of dominance. A shame he only won one MVP, cause 01-02 should've been his.

you must have your years mixed up !!!
that year Duncan put up 25 and 13 on the best team in the west but even more deserving was J . Kidd who resurrected the Nets that year and led them to finals , he had like 14, 10 and 8 avg. -

I'm not saying Shaq got owned, but ya'll cats that only quote stats never see the whole picture. People who say Shaq got owned are usually talking about how Hakeem did him (e.g. outmaneuvering him and scoring in his face). Shaq scored a lot, but if I remember a lot, the way their offense ran, a lot of those those were facilitated by others or had him put in a dominant position. Where as Hakeem typically got the ball and just outworked Shaq for his shots. -

He made dream shot under 50%
And you acting like Shaq was spoon feed his points. -

Shaq had a higher percentage because he had more dunks. He was bigger and stronger and able to muscle his way in better. Hakeem was actually hitting shots on Shaq. I'm not saying Shaq was a ? out there. I'm just saying that when you watched the games, Hakeem came off looking more skillful than Shaq. Stats alone won't tell you that. -
lmaooo so basically Hakeem had to work harder for his points

And Olajuwon scored a lot of points, so what is your point? His skill is what allowed him to score the points. Shaq was bigger and stronger so he managed to control down low. He still wasn't able to stop Hakeem though because Hakeem had the skill advantage. -
Hakeem the Dream 93-95Takin nothing away from Shaq cause he was very agile for his size but to me skill > strength and physical advantage. Going by the years of dominance in the polls, the Dream had better competition in the front court overall compared to Shaq too

Yeah but that video didn't show what was happening on the other side of the court. There must be some clips of David Robinson scoring over Hakeem. -
Hakeem the Dream 93-95For the record Shaq used to ? DRob too, ? I can remember that Sunday afternoon matchup between San An and Orlando it had that heavyweight fight feeling to it, without looking at numbers that's how I remember it
