Like Shaq. Shaq was the best player because nobody could stop him. But you can't ask him to dribble the ball or pass like a point guard. His job is to post up, and give the team nightmares. And the Lakers did not take Shaq out during clutch time. They kept him in. There's no way a guy averaging 28 ppg and 57% isn't going to be in there.
