- Ewing sucked in Orlando, but is still a Knicks legend.

Shaq was great in Orlando, even greater with the Lakers and now he's good with the Heat. You can't expect a player being dominant his whole career. Shaq is old, but still effective. His stats will decrease more till he retires. But this does not hurt his legacy.
He will be remembered as one of the best centers and big-man in the league.
And my personal opinion is, you can't measure a player only by his stats. There's more than numbers out there. There's experience, success, leadership etc. too. And this makes a player a legend. Or do you say Mike James is going to be a star because he became a 20+ guy in Toronto?

Shaq is still the face of the Heat, and their overall source of inspiration.
