    PG-Magic ---could be debatable between stockton but brings amazing passing.
    SG-MJ--- hey its MJ, really no debate
    SF-Bird---one of the best shooters of all time
    PF-Russel---has a career average of 22.5rpg, a team player
    C-Wilt---DOMINANCE

    I really couldn't see a team stopping this one.

    i think olajuwon is the best center. i think shaq is more dominating than wilt, and olajuwon made shaq look like a fool whenever they played each other. i don't think any big man could handle hakeem the dream.

    yea but wil scored 50 ppg in a year. shaq wouldnt do that even then. he wouldnt have been smart enough to revolutionize the game like that and use his size like everyone does now. it never wouldve occured to him. hed just be trying to throw up hooks and what not

    I think you must learn the history of the game and take a look to the stats of Wilt. And he played al lot of games against mister defense Bill Russell, that makes it more impressive. Wilt is the most dominant player ever without competition. :twisted:

    how do you know what shaq would or wouldn't do back then? the league has made changes to the way the game is played now because of shaq, and back then i'm sure they would have made plenty of changes.

    Just because when wilt came in nobody played the game like wilt. he didnt learn from anybody. shaq is pretty revolutionary too but he learned from past greats too. Only wilt couldve done what he did.

    They changed rules to make Wilt less dominant; think about that. And look to his stats http://wiltfan.tripod.com/totalstats.html and read about him before you judge. He is the most dominant player in the history of sport. :thumbsup:

    haha i forget more about basketball in a day than you know my friend. and at what point did you feel i was judging wilt or putting wilt down? i simply pointed out they changed the rules to make shaq less dominant, too, SO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. you cannot compare stats of old players and new players. the game has completely evolved. the only fair way to compare is to compare how they competed against players in their era. and both shaq and wilt have dominated the league.

    Just curious shape, what rules have they instituted to stop Shaq and Shaq alone? Zone defense? That wasn't just for Shaq, you can say they implemented it for Allen Iverson also because the league knows how much Iverson dominates by going inside. They also know he isn't the greatest outside shooter so put in the zone D, force him to go outside and the result is Ive having his lower scoring year in a while (which is what happened).
