Dream vs Modern day big men

[FondrenRoad]

Shaq should have been the greatest ever. He was too lazy to ever really take his game much beyond brute strength.

 

[Aces_Full]

Shaq was physically the biggest/strongest, but he has no where near the skill level of the other great centers of all time.

 

[Statalyzer]

Shaq is also incredibly quick considering his bulk.

Rings mean almost nothing past did they get one or not. Is Wilt worse than Russel because he doesn't have 16 rings? Hell no. Rings are more a team indicator than a player indicator. Hakeem was the better player, sorry, that's just the way it is

stat, just like the terms "owned" and "dominated" are used agaisnt Robinson and Shaq. Hakeem dominated Robinson in one series, but head to head, the stats are remarkably even with Robinson getting the edge in wins.

We know Shaq's numbers were better than Dream's head to head.


I'll still take Dream, but it's not as clear cut as some would like to believe.

 

[Aces_Full]

To the people who actually watched the players play it's pretty obvious Dream was the best. He got to a level that none of the others did. And if you watched the games without any bias, it's clear that the Dream was the best of the bunch.

 

[Ramathorn]

I don't think anyone here has said he wasn't.

 

[Aces_Full]

Yes, there are several here arguing that Duncan is/was better. Duncan is very, very good. Olajuwon was better.

 

[TheFied]

I'm not arguing that Duncan was a better 5 (center) than Olajuwon... just a better a player overall.

 

[Aces_Full]

Then you are very wrong.
