shaq is the most dominant player NOW, but definately not in NBA history. Ever year, the commentary have to contrive of new buzz words/phrases. They say Kobe is better than Jordan. But Kobe is still in his career. The most important thing is not just starting, but finishing. How will he leave the NBA? As a "winner" (you can define this any way you like), or as a "loser"" (My defination of loser is retiring from NBA w/o having gotten another ring).
