in nba history, who has been the hardest player to stop?

Yea, i guess this is really a question for someone who is old enough to have been around to seen both of them play.

I'm more partial to the skill over strength. After all this is Basketball.

I loved seeing Hakeem school Shaq and sweep him in the finals that year, btw.

And it worked about 90% of the time. Again, mostly unable to be stopped.

Shaq without a doubt, 300 lbs backing you down? Then having the agility to go for a nice post move layup or the power just to go right through you for an and one dunk?

Of course the younger guys are gonna go with the players in their lifetime.

That's how it goes.

300 pound shaq u must be talkin about skinny shaq. Cause the 360 pound monsta that was on the Lakers was like an immovable object in the post. You know when other people get injured trying to foul you, your a beast ala jason williams. One-on- One nobody can bang with shaq daddy in the post.

Wilt. I dont think It's even a contest.

Guy averaged 50 points a game for a season.

I'd love to look at his box scores for that season.

If you had "only" a 25 point game one night, you had to score 75 points the next to maintain your scoring average.
