    Shaq is definitely more underrated here than Sydney Moncrief.


    He's never lower than #9 on any list and his peak has been argued by some over Jordan's...absolutely.

    I'm just making sure we're doing this, because that is one of the strongest supporting casts in the history of the league.

    Don't be a doodoo brain. Ron Artest was never very good for the Lakers. Ariza was better on BOTH sides of the ball in 2008-09 than Artest ever was.


    That cast was, in fact, an awesome cast. One of the strongest supporting casts in the history of the league? Don't know, maybe...I love how inconsistent, as a whole, the team was. But you seem to ignore that, much like the Spurs in 2002-03, that team needed the monster at the top.

    People never seem to understand stuff like this. I'm not saying the poster's point wasn't a valid talking point, but when people just to evaluate things based on bottom lines, they always go into "He lost this many times in the Finals" and, conversely, "He never lost in the Finals"...like what, would you rather lose early? Apparently, that helps a career.

    1999-2000:
    29.7 PPG, 57% FG, 13.6 RPG, 3.8 APG, 3.0 BPG, 30.6 PER

    2000-2001:
    28.7 PPG, 57.2% FG, 12.7 RPG, 3.7 APG, 2.8 BPG, 30.2 PER

    2001-2002:
    27.2 PPG, 57.9% FG, 10.7 RPG, 3.0 APG, 2.0 BPG, 29.7 PER

    2002-2003:
    27.5 PPG, 57.4% FG, 11.1 RPG, 3.1 APG, 2.4 BPG, 29.5 PER


    Now let me remind you of his stats in the 3 finals:

    1999-2000:
    38.0 PPG, 61.1% FG, 16.7 RPG, 2.3 BPG

    2000-2001:
    33.0 PPG, 57.3% FG, 15.8 RPG, 4.8 APG, 3.2 BPG

    2001-2002:
    36.3 PPG, 59.5% FG, 12.3 RPG, 3.8 APG, 2.8 BPG


    Let's not forget he's only one of the four players in history to have 3 Finals MVP.



    And people are saying Kobe or Duncan's better than the Black Tornado? Most dominant player after Jordan?


    Only on ISH.
    Exactly. :)

    Somewhere along the line "lower your shoulder and ram through smaller guys" has become "incredibly skilled GOAT".

    How people who barely saw half of the generally accepted Top 10 can say a guy in that rarified air is underrated is the height of stupidity.

    I don't think he is underrated here as he is with the media. The news, radio and etc. They seem to somewhat skip him and don't really realize his impact and individual performance is a rarity. But they do acknowledge that he is dominant, but Kobe get more talks. Part of the reason why is because he is still relevant.

    It's similar to how Magic get more talks and attention than Kareem, though Kareem was legendary and was more the leader in the early 80s.

    Shaq has been called the "Most Dominant Ever".

    There was a thread made by the poster "Odinn" and it was to rank the Top 12 seasons by big men of the modern era. There was unanimous agreement by everyone I saw post in the thread that Shaq was #1.

    I've seen posters rank him in the Top 5 and has high as Top 2.

    He simply is not underrated, unless you think he does Top 3-5 mentions as well.

    Shaq is not even close to being underrated.

    Nobody questions that he was he man on his championship teams in 00-02, or that he was the best player at one point, or that he deserved his MVP awards.

    On the other hand I've heard the opposite for Kobe. I've seen posters claim Pau was the second best player in the world in 2010, was the real finals MVP, was the best player on the championship teams. They actually think Pau ****ing Gasol was actually better! Who gets this underrated? Also heard Kobe didn't deserve his MVP award and that he was never the best player in the game at any point when you got countless numbers of players saying he was the best, including the players they were saying that we're better than him.

    Because Shaq with 4 MVP, and 3 Finals MVP is greater than Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

    Lebron. Not so much where he's ranked today (obviously the best player ALIVE), not exactly where he's placed historically (somewhere between 11-15 is reasonable IMO), but his ACTUAL level of play and where it stacks up ALL TIME. There are only about 3 or 4 guys that have played at/reached the level Lebron is at currently ... Think about that for a second, folks.

    Dude is unreal. Flat out.

    I don't underrate him. I have him as one of the top 4 players of all time.

    How many great centers had he dominated throughout his career? Not old man Hareem, not young Yao, who else did I leave out?
