In a purely half court game, I agree that Shaq was a terror offensively - but so was Chamberlain and Wilt could also run the floor with any big man who has played the game. Those who say that Shaq was the most dominant big man ever to play sound silly.

Milwaukee finished dead last in its division the year before the Bucks drafted Kareem and won the NBA title. That is dominance. Kareem is the NBA's all time leading scorer and he says that Wilt was the greatest scorer that he has ever seen play.

That should end all discussion of whether Shaq was the most dominant big man of all time - but kids will be kids and nobody wants to believe that somebody from their grandfather's generation could have possibly been better than any of their contemporaries.

Fogies will be fogies and nobody wants to believe that someone from their grandson's generation could possibly better than any of their contemporaries.
This man has destroyed more basketball goals that we have probably played on.
We can argue until the end of time but no one will ever win this one.
I don't care if you have been watching basketball since it was played with peach baskets. It is impossible to make comparisons across generations like that.
IMO the way things have evolved over time you can't make a definitive argument for either side.
