^^^ all hyperbole .. Shaq is way overrated. Good thing he had Kobe, because otherwise he'd done nothing.
FREE THROWS.
For my first pick I had two sets of criteria...
Is this person good at basketball?
Is this person bad ***?
Wilt... yes, no
Kareem....yes, no
sooooooooooooo
Magic is who I would have taken at #2, but Shaq was waaaay high on my list too.
Some say Kobe had Shaq.
True on the free throws, but it won't matte r when you see who his teammates are going to be.
Who did Magic play with hmmm?
Every champ played with other great players
Shaq is not overrated. He was the most menacing force the NBA has ever seen.
