This has been the easiest one for me to vote on.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Although I love West, Bird and Shaq on a team, I cannot go against Stockton, Bryant, Drexler, Dantley, Barkley, Stoudemire, and Chamberlain on the same team.

Im going Hobo on this one.

 

[colton]

The way I look at it,

Kobe > Bird
Stockton > Kidd
Drexler ~ West
Barkley/Stoudamire >> Gasol/Kirilenko, and
Wilt > Shaq

By flip-flopping the two wing positions, Chad Feldheimer's team is better than or equal to SalmonHobo's team at every single position. No brainer. Only thing Chad's team is missing is a backup PG, but that role could likely go to either Kobe or Drexler.

Reason: Shaq was one of the most dominant players ever. Gasol would be perfect next to him, cover up his softness.Bird,Kidd, and West are all willing passers. Drexler,Barkley,Chamberlain,Bryant just seems like too many scorers. I like Hobo's team potential chemistry.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Shaq > Wilt. Consider competition and that its 70's Wilt, not 60's Wilt.

 

[colton]

Reason: Shaq was one of the most dominant players ever.

And what about Wilt?? He was FAR more dominant in his day than Shaq was in his.

And what about Wilt?? He was FAR more dominant in his day than Shaq was in his.

Competition in Shaq's era is far,far superior.

You can make a case that Wilt was THE greatest player ever. I don't think you can make that case for Shaq. See for example:

Also, 70's Wilt was not that dominant.

70's only buddy. 90's for Shaq.
