That and the Jaguar comment was weird coming from high school kids.

Shaq did look like he had a slightly nicer jumpshot, but yeah, he looked a lot slender.

And that is where our opinions differ. I say that Shaq is the force of the past 10 years because he's huge. Try to contain 330 lbs. I mean, where does he pack all this? Michael Sweetney weighs 50lbs. less than Shaq at 6'8, and he looks fat as hell...

Well, 5 inches are a lot. Someone like would look skinny at about 6'3@185 and someone at 5'10 would look fat.

Shaq's dominance has never been about size or speed, but a combination of two... He has been through his career the biggest and fastest center on the NBA courts...

Just like Payton has always been deceptively strong in comparison to how he looks, Shaq has always been incredibly mobile and quick for a guy his size!

If he would have weighted less, he would have been a bit faster, but the fact is that the size actually made the monster... If he had weighted less, he would have been pushed around more and wouldn't have been as unstoppable as he was.

Remember that teams have tried practically EVERYTHING to stop the man, and have failed time and time again... When he was in his prime!

I'm not saying that Shaq is the greatest of all time, I'm just saying that all you "he should have weighted less, he would have been faster and would have been GOAT" aren't giving Shaq enough credit! He just dominated the sport and single handedly turned games around. He was the reason why Lakers won those titles... Kobe as great as he is now, wasn't as good back then!

Shaq is probably the greatest center to play the game since the days of Wilt! And matching those two against each other, well its moot and pointless. Even if Shaq wasn't the GOAT, he was an unstoppable force, that no team could stop or defend against... There ain't many guys like that going about...
