Re: Misconception about prime Shaquille O'Neal - Overrated as a post-up scorer
Dude, you will be a lot happier if you can avoid engaging in debates which are flat out retarded.
If someone tries to push a "Stockton > Shaq" narrative, you should just leave them alone. It's such a wildly stupid thing to suggest. They are not in the same stratosphere of basketball players.

You're correct, I'm prone to engaging in conversations that clearly don't warrant this amount of energy.

This. I’m adding that account to my ignore list.

Yeah and the easiest way to see this is to go back and watch Orlando Shaq, when he still tried to be a finesse center and playing further from the rim. A lot of ugly shots and hooks back then and didn't seem very successful.
Like you guy wrote, Shaq got a lot of his points from just getting low position and it was automatic or making quick moves or semi-transition.
If he didn't get good position and had to start at the high post, the Lakers would usually restart the play and have him change positions, which would lead to him getting the ball late in the shotclock and not having enough time and position for a good shot.
He was an underrated passer though and just wore down those defending him

Devin Booker just put up 47 points...which is more points than Shaq ever put up in his entire playoff career
the most dominant player in the history of the game...might be off the list entirely in the next 2-3 years
