Hakeem had developed a skill set that separated him from any other bigman ever. He was long, athletic, and had so many go to moves it was a nightmare to defend. And he was a far better defensive player then Shaq was..

But sometimes when you have too much size and too much talent that's all that matters.. Shaq at his peak was probably the greatest center of all time. If he could have stretched out that peak to lost longer than 2-3 seasons he would be looked at as an ever greater player than he already is..

I think if you look at their career as a whole Hakeem would land higher on my all-time list than Shaq would.. But if you took the two of them at their very best and matched them against each other Shaq beats Hakeem.
