Shaq's tendency to be lazy on the defensive end is really hard to overlook for me.

I know Phil talks extensively in one of his books about Shaq's D being those Lakers teams biggest liability.

Meanwhile, Hakeem was two-time Defensive Player of the Year.

A shame we never got that Bulls-Rockets matchup in the Finals. Hakeem was unstoppable those years.

Someone on RM tried to make a case for Shaq over Kareem a couple of years ago.

That's just shear insanity.

There's a reason why the Rockets almost never get crap for taking Hakeem over Jordan.
