First of all, it's hard to compare a center to a guard. MJ was a complete player, Shaq isn't, but he maybe doesn't have to. All he has to do is to wait in the paint for the pass, he's a bad defender, and is mostly feared because of his size. MJ was feared because of his unbelievable talent and full array of skills, always took the last shot, was a great defender. For me it's not even close. MJ loved the game, Shaq sometimes looks like he's come to work he doesn't like and is fed up with..

If you were the number one player on your team like Shaq is and you weren't getting the ball. You'd be disgruntled too! MJ had the ball in his hands %99.9 of the time when he played. Shaq has times were the Lakers just won't give him the ball for an extended period of time. Game 4 was a good example against the Pistons. Shaq had 30+ pts and 20 rebounds, he was hot! But then by the 4th quarter, he didnt' touch it at all. Now think, the way Jordan's mentality is, how pissed off he would be if he didn't get the ball for a short period of time (I dont' even want to think about it!).
