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.

You had Wilt and Shaq in the past 60 years. So maybe in another 20?

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.

You mean like someone who could score 81 points in a single game?

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.

Came to post this. Dude is like 7ft tall and can shoot 3s from half court like free throws.

If anything, he might even be more dominant when you factor in the current deficiency at the centre position. Prime Shaq would have a heyday in today's league.
