He was exremely dominant. But for a shorter time frame. He got old and clunky and slow later on.

Ah, at last, I've waited for this day long and hard my friend. I am glad it has finally come. Shaquille, you're as amazing as one can be without having any real personal relationship with me. My best moments as a fan of basketball have come while watching you. You will always be my favorite athlete of all time in any sport as well as the GOAT. I hope you continue doing what you love now that you've stepped away from basketball, eating/policing/entertaining.
P.S. I sincerely hope to see your jersey in the rafters of Staples one day

It would be totally ridiculous if it wasn't. Even with all the s**t-slinging over the past few years.

Agreed, but you really never do know for certain if Buss and him would put the past behind them and just celebrate all they accomplished together. I'll seriously kill a kitten if I see his jersey hung in Miami or Orlando instead...ESPECIALLY in Miami, and that's for reasons not related to their current success, it would just be ludicrous compared to his accolades and relationships with the city of Orlando and Los Angeles...

I would think he's more important in Miami right now. He was a cog in their 1st championship, in LA he's just another in a long line of big men who left their original teams to win there.
I barely remember seeing him play the Rockets his rookie year. I had just started going to NBA games cuz my gf had season tix. I remember thinking how huge the players were as a whole. Then he came along and I was like Jesus.
I'll always have great memories of him, mainly of Dream schooling him (although Shaq got his too) in the finals in the perfect match of power vs grace, maybe ever. I always wanted to see that Taco Bell one on one battle that never happened.
If he had worked as hard as Hakeem on his game he would have been the best ever.

Shaq should stick it to the Lakers and let Boston take over this s**t and retire his Jersey.
