This guy aint no crip, and I'm 100% sure on that because he doesn't type like a crip, I know crips, and that fool is not a crip.

Shaq scored more in his prime   

Hakeem blocked more shots, stole more balls and actually hit his free throws.

Hakeem in his (short) prime is the best center of all the time ...  we will never seee another center with such skills ... his destruction of Robinson the league MVP in the 95 playoffs is the best individual performance of all the time in a postseason series ... Shaq had the better carreer but is uninteresting to watch playing

Hakeem was more skilled, but Shaq was just a freak of nature. Shaq's dominance is pretty much un-paralled so I gotta give it to the big guy.

Hakeem mid-range jumper was prolly the best from all the centers I've seen in my life. He had more offensive moves in the post area - Shaq dominated people with his physical power. He was bigger and stronger than any other center. The Dream destroyed opponents with his jumpers and dream shake's. Hard to tell who was better in their primes - both were great and fun to watch.

But I'll take Hakeem - he style of play was just so smooth it was always a pleasure to watch him :)

Well I may have express myself incorrectly ... let's say at his very best which was the 2 years he won the title ... he always was great during the era you mentioned but he wasn't on a whole another level for 11 years like he was in 94 and 95
