    Well you know in the right context. Like pretty short for a grocery bag boy. Which is what he was when he was found by the Jazz. :devilwink:

    in shaq's 4th-6th seasons he missed an average of 27 games per season. and the 3 years before this one he missed an average of 28.67 games per season. he's missed an average of 15 games per season over his career. he's not exactly a great example of durability.

    He's still playing at a high level after 16 years and is the size of a sasquatch. That was my point. "Broken down" isn't the same thing as "injured" or "missing games".

    it is impressive that shaq hasn't completely broken down, i was just point out that as durable as he's been for a big man, he still isn't relatively durable at all for a normal player.

    Well, with all the playoff games included, he's played over 19 seasons in terms of available games. There aren't a lot of players his size to compare him with in terms of games played.

    Out of his 190, how many playoff games has he missed due to injury? I don't know the answer to that question.
