hehe, sa ESPN nga na-post yan. I didn't know nga that fact.

In his playing career 5 backboards destroyed, 2 complete ring shaq-clked.

Wilt will be most effective naman IMO. But Shaq will have the most difficult time defending Hakeem because of his moves and quickness as well. Kareem and Wilt is not as fast as Shaq and he outweighs them so he can just push them around like what he successfully did to Yao during the last laker years. Push them out of their comfort zone.

Shaq versus Hakeem? He'll eat him alive and gnaw on the bones...

...but I think Hakeen may have the ability to outplay Shaq. He'd definitely win a game of H-O-R-S-E.

Sad day... but it's been coming for a while... Definitely a future hall-of-famer, despite his glaring Achilles Heel... the free-throw line.

hehe, same problem for Dwight and most centers.

it was due to his big hands that he couldn't control the ball well

yes, mahirap mag FT pag yung bola e tila sing-laki lang ng duckpin sa kamay mo tapos yung ring e halos kapantay na nya.

A likely excuse. Shaq was so tall that he could just dunk from the free-throw line. :hysterical:

Still... it's a pretty big handicap that hurt his playoff ability throughout his career... I think only Phil Jackson's staff was able to get him to shoot free-throws respectably... and even then, it wasn't that great.

He could have had hand surgery, you know...

Malabo yang lumipat kung walang trade na mangyayari IMO. Orl learned its lesson already eh.

Shaq just didn't practice hard enough in shooting free throws IMO. hehe, if he was even just a 80% FT shooter, sigurado hindi lang siya top 5 sa scoring. baka top 3 na.

Well Dwight's contract is until next year only after that free agency... Let's see if ORL can keep him or if Dwight thinks staying in ORL would be the path to an NBA championship...

psttt... No its not! Lakers na!
