Shaq announces retirement
19 years is along time. Surprised it lasted that long with his body size, usually carrying that big of a frame cuts years off a career. Has to be one of the top 5 big men of all time.

if he could've made free throws, he'd be in the discussion for top 5 players of all-time.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

No doubt he is top 5 big men, no question about it!

In no particular order, these are the best 5!!

Russell
Kareem
Wilt
Hakeem
Shaq

You guys aren't lying about the FTs. Guy would of averaged in the 30s the majority of his career if he could of improved from the line. Thanks for the 19 years big fella and bringing the Heat their 1st ring. I would be shocked if Riley doesn't retire his number like MJ.

Yeah I think of him as a PF, probably because of playing along side the admiral at first. He is sort of a hybrid. Even if he was a center that list is a tough one to crack, not sure whose spot he would take.
