Looks about right...

1 and 2 are interchangeable, but I agree with the list.

That's what I was gunna say...And Hakeem should currently be over Shaq (unless Shaq can finish his career with a major bang).

People seriously were sleeping on Hakeem's skills until later in his career. He was abusing centers on that post.

i think what put shaq over hakeem was the 4 rings and the 3 finals mvp's vs. the 2 and 2. but i wouldn't argue really if someone put hakeem over shaq there's valid points on both sides of that argument

shaq free throw shooting is a liability and always will be. Can't keep him on the floor at the end of games

[WC Iz Active]

Wilt should be ahead of Kareem and Hakeem should be ahead of Shaq.

but at the same time shaq was always reliable to give you at LEAST 26/27 points a game and 10 boards EVERY night, so more times than not it didn't play a factor

Wilt should be ahead of Kareem and Hakeem should be ahead of Shaq.

I think what gives Kareem the slight advantage over Wilt was that he dominted in 3 different eras. The Captain deserves his number 1.

So ESPN has credibility now NIK?  Cuz usually anytime anybody cites them you call them BSPN or biased or Laker haters. 

And the list looks good to me.

Of course not...BSPN is still weak. I like the list, but don't get me wrong, they still got a few wrong. Bill Walton should definitely not be that high, and again, Hakeem over Shaq. But they're usually close to on-point with these sorta lists.

[J$crILLa]

dope list... you could change some of the order, but overall i agree

[The Big Bad Ass]

I agree with Hakeem over Shaq based on the fact that the dream absolutly abused shaq in the 94 (I think) finals. It was embarrasing to watch lol.

It's all about the Diesel:

The self-proclaimed MDE -- Most Dominant Ever -- is as physically talented as anyone who's ever played the game. He's the perfect combination of strength and quickness; a bigger, more powerful reincarnation of Wilt.

Smart, skilled and ultra-competitive, the Big Diesel instills fear in his opponents and makes his teammates better. And rings seem to follow him wherever he goes.

The best big-man ambassador the game has ever had; Shaq is larger than life on and off the court.
