I read it far too often. Just a reminder for as long as this digital thread lasts.

I mean he is the greatest of his generation

I don’t think he is number 1, but he is damn close. 2? 3?

Of his generation or all time? Hes a top 5 all time player imo

All time

Without much thought or research: MJ, Lebron, Russell, Magic, Bird

 

[Woob_woob]

Wilt, MJ, Lebron, Magic, Shaq is probably my personal top 5

of course

I think a lot of people forget Kareem when creating Top players of all time. That dude made any team he joined instantly a contender.

I did forget Kareem. Kareem at 4, Magic at 5.

Kareem had the better career, but also played longet and with better players, plus his prime wasnt as dominant as Shaq. Kareem is probably my #6 tho so it's really just splitting hairs.

Doesn't Shaq's prime = Kobe's teamate tho!?!?! I'm just playing that is fair enough it's a toss up for me tbh! Shaq is still doing big things too, so he may actually sneak in!

Yea Shaq played with Kobe and Wade, but Kareem played with Magic, Oscar and Worthy, not to mention all the other really good non HOFs on those 80s showtime teams.

As a casual Clippers fan I couldn't be more excited for this season, except I really enjoyed the cast-offs Clippers last year and the ticket prices to go along with it. I think a ticket to a Clippers/Lakers game this season would be worth the arm and a leg it will cost to get in the building.

Shaq was also the best player on those three-peat teams by a pretty significant margin

*Puts on tin foil hat*

The Clippers not announcing Kawhi and PG yet make me think they are trying to make one more big move...

Carmelo???? Maybe!?!?!

Or do they go for one of the remaining big men to balance the floor??

 

[Woob_woob]

It said big move, not bad move

I could just see that be something LA does to attract the casual fans out there with big bankroll

They need a Stud down low tho

Idk, I think we really do need another center. I may be wrong, but I think we only have Zubac right now?
