you have to take into account that russell was smart and fast. shaq would have trouble keeping tabs on him. and rebounds arn't won on strength alone, if russell could tip the ball you think shaq could possibly get to it before bill did? I don't think so.


I think you under estimate how fast Shaq was in  his prime. He wasn't just strength, man was quick and had great instincts for the ball.

I second that, KC.

Shaq was fast, but also when he was in his prime they let him get away with murder. If they remotely called fouls on Shaq for manhandling russell I don't think he would have the problems everyone seems to be thinking he would.
"Sam Cassell was heckling on the sideline when I walked down, He looked at me and was like, ‘You're getting the ball, I know you're getting the ball!'
said Allen.

And did Cassell, a man of many words, have anything to say after that?

almost 30 ppg in today's game without shooting 3 pointers is ridiculous.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Shaq might be the most physically dominant player of all time, second possibly to Wilt Chamerlain.

He's not the greatest or most skilled, but in terms of physical packages, Shaq has gotta be close to #1
