As *dominant? Who knows... Haven't seen one so far though, and it's extremely difficult to "happen".

Gotta realize you had this 7 foot, 325 lbs behemoth, strong af but moving around and jumping like a smaller player, an athletic freak with an agressive, alpha mentality, a great feel for the game, great footwork, with a soft touch around the rim and terrific finishing ability, also the IQ and passing skill... That's HIGHLY unlikely to come around.

Shaq wouldn't be Shaq nowadays, they wouldn't let him elbow people in the face anymore. Or body slam people into the stands.

Surely there's another player in history who can only win rings with a top 10 goat or the third best shooting guard of all time.

Would they still allow opposing players to literally hang on him almost every play without calling the foul? Give me a break dude. I'm not even a Shaq fan but he was fouled almost every time he touched the ball. He was so much bigger than everyone else that the refs just allowed it to happen. It was kind of like the way there's a holding penalty on almost every football play at some point. Almost every time Shaq got the ball he got fouled. It was insane.

Durant is the Shaq of perimeter players.
