Part time in both. Had he taken it seriously he would have been the GOAT center but off season he did media stuff to raise his brand value instead of working out and taking care of himself. Still one the Top 10 centers tho...
Yeah he played in just as many seasons as Kareem Abdul Jabbar, but Kareem scored 10,000 more points.
Shaq played with Kobe a score 1st player
Kareem played with Magic who was always lookin to feed him the ball
Also kareem was a naturally skinny guy. Shaq big boned.
If im chosing 1 for a dream team ill take Shaq. Most dominant player to ever play
How is he the "most dominant" if they played the same length of time and Kareem outscored him by 10,000 points?
Shaqs body didnt hold up like Kareem
Shaq was just collecting checks at the tail end of his career.
Kareem was an athlete still the end.
At Shaqs prime nobody could stop him tho = most dominant
Similar to Tyson in the boxing world
At Kareem's prime nobody could stop the sky hook.
In fact, his skyhook was all he had in his last years, thats why he outscored Shaq. Shaq didn't have a sky hook.
