How far short of GOAT consideration is Shaq?

[QUOTE=Doctor Rivers]Out of curiosity, who else (besides 32dayz) here agrees that Shaq is the second GOAT player?[/QUOTE]

Dont ask that Doc.

People are too intrentched by judging players based on things like MVP's and Ring's (even though Shaq has 4 of those) instead of judging them based on [B]Career Playoff Production/Intagibals and Performances.[/B]

If you judged players correctly based on the bolded area above then Shaq has a very strong case as GOAT or at the worst Top 1-3.

Most people just follow the masses and see he is usually ranked from 4-7 and just follow suit.

Plenty of publications have ranked him higher and some very well respected journalists and ESPN people have ranked him from 1-3 like I do (example : Elliot Kalb").
