How great was Shaquille O’Neal? The answer to that question is subjective. In today’s sports world of hot takes, what-ifs, and who would win, I think most rational NBA and Los Angeles Lakers fans can agree Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest players we’ve ever seen. Shaq dominated the NBA and won more than his contemporaries.
From the moment Shaq entered the NBA in 1992 he didn’t disappoint. He was a phenom. For any point of comparison, you have to go back to Wilt Chamberlain. Another physically gifted player that simply towered above the competition.
