Even a past his prime Shaq held his own against the younger centers in the class of 2000's.
Shaq out played Bogut and Howard who were both 13 years younger than him.

Re: Shaquille O'Neal Career stats vs. the best Centers in History
Well in fairness most of the 90's Centers were on the downside of their careers as the 90's was coming to an end (Dream, Ewing, Robinson, Sabonis, Smits), so those "career" head-to-head numbers don't paint the entire picture.
That said, I have Shaq #8 all time. He was the most dominating big man in modern NBA history (ie; post merger).

Kid Shaq 20-24 yrs.old put up good numbers against these veteran NBA Centers.
It's kinda very difficult to defend Shaq 1 on 1. and Hakeem didn't destroy him in the NBA Finals. His teammates underperformed besides Penny Hardaway.

I agree; however that still doesn't change the fact that Shaq was entering his prime years (late 90's) when most of the great 90's Centers were in decline, so that skews the "career" numbers you posted, is all I'm saying.

A young Shaq was already outplaying Hakeem, Ewing, and Robinson. A prime Shaq just shelled them.

Robinson used to eat him up early in his career. Gave him fits during the 3 peat too.
