Lol absolutely not IMO. Factually was not more accomplished than Shaq or Kare
His peak may have been up there with the goat centers, and I’d argue he was the most skilled, but his body of work simply doesn’t compare to Shaq’s or Kareem
Disregarding wilt and Russell, Shaq and Kareem are clearly the goat centers
Shaq had a 12 year peak where he had
-4 chips. 3 of which came consecutively
-6 finals appearances
-3 finals MVPs
-1 league mvp
-1 scoring titles
-Beat MJ head up in an era where no one did
-10 year peak of like 28 & 13
It’s funny because Shaq is a jokester on TNT but has a very real case to be the 4th best player OAT after Lebron Kareem and Mike. IMO diesel one of the more underrated players ever
shaq wasn’t more skilled than hakeem man. shaq may be more decorated but Hakeem’s two runs are way more impressive, he didn’t have a Kobe to split the scoring load with, and contrary to popular belief, skill factors into an all time list despite what bronsexuals might tell you
And Shaq got him in 99’
So explain the other stuff lol
Hakeem was 36 by then lol

You’re clowning if you ranking Shaq above Kobe
Straight up

Lmaooo he didn’t have Kobe but he had mfing Clyde Drexler
Also young Robert Horry, and Kenny Smith, who were both averaging double digit points
Chill out brother
EDIT: AND Sam Cassell! Cmon bruh
Stacked
You’re comparing a 2016 basketball performance to a rapper in the 90s. At a certain point in sort the game changes so much that people do stop recognizing the greatness, the same way it happens in music. Look at Bob Cousy. It just happens quicker in music
