    Shaq... especially in his Orlando days... Thats when he was alot skinnier, and he was amazingly quick...

    Plus, aside from the stats, Shaq had better post moves and was always a better passer... Plus he had a high B-Ball IQ...

    Strenth is not a question... THe dude was breaking rims.... Dwight probably jumps higher but thats about it

    Shaq. Howard has pretty much NO post moves at all except spin and dunk. Shaq in his Orlando days and Dwight right now are basically all athleticism and strength. Shaq wins. He would just get everyone out of his way and jam over everyone if he had to.

    Shaq had more tricks in the bag. Just put it that way. He could pass out of the double team, set up his teamates, and he could create his own shot at any given time. Pretty much he was running the offense at the center position.

    Shaq. he is the most dominant player to have ever played this game.

    Howard is great, but not even he will have a better career than what Shaq has had.

    Dwight is amazing.

    But Shaq is the most dominate player ever in this great game.

    Shaq brought down backboards as that guy said.

    So its not hard to figure out.
