Shaquille O'Neal is arguably the biggest physical freak the NBA has ever seen and he entered the NBA an imposing figure. A distinction he still holds.

He calls himself MDE—Most Dominant Ever—and I tend to agree with him.

O’Neal has made a career out of steamrolling defenders in the low post and posterizing essentially anyone who stood in his way. He was an underrated shot-blocker and a solid defender.

Let’s take a look at his resume: Four time NBA Champion, NBA MVP, 15 time All-Star, two-time scoring champion, 14 All-NBA Team selections and three All-Defensive Teams.

I could go on and on about O’Neal, but that’s for another article.

I put him over Wilt because I believe Wilt's numbers are greatly inflated. If Shaq played in the same era, he would have led the league in scoring every season.

I’ll finish with this: if I had to start a franchise with any player in NBA history, Shaq would crack my top five.
