That's right, Shaq was the most dominant of any player in their time, even more than Wilt, yeah I said it, let's hear the hating NIK

Of course he was, when he was in his prime he had no one even close to him. Shaq never had a guy who challenged him.

Ask him about Hakeem.

I'm talking about Shaq's prime. Look back at the great centers, Wilt and Russell, Dream and Ewing and Robinson and Mutombo. Shaq battled against the likes of Greg Ostertag and Dale Davis.
Shaq couldn't hold Dream's jockstrap in his prime. Dude was on another level on both ends of the floor.

I haven't read through the thread but I think Howard will be better. Howard is already a force to be reckoned with and Bynum, although he has improved significantly, still has a long way to go. Howard is already the 2nd best center in the NBA and he is still raw. Once he learns some low post moves, he will be unstoppable. He is already a defensive and rebounding machine and freakishly athletic. The sky is the limit for Howard, he has the potential to be a legend.
With Bynum, he will definitely grow into being a very effective big man no doubt. He has good touch around the basket and he has that length. He still needs to work on utilizing his size better on both ends of the court but he is only 19. I could see Bynum averaging 17/11/3 in a year or 2, maybe 20 if he really works hard. Howard is already there and he will only get better. Dude is a monster.
Bynum's upside: all-star
Howard's upside: legend

In my honest opinion, you're wrong AGAIN, man. LOL. Remember when you thought his upside was a Theo Ratliff type player? Theo Ratliff woulda' murdered his family to have the same ability Bynum does at 19...Bynum has future all-star appearances on lock, that's not his upside... it's clear to many that his upside is to dominate the whole league for years to come as the only true center...Whether or not he ever reaches that potential is still a mystery, but he's on the right track and he'd be considered a failure under Kareem if he didn't...PeACe
