Shaq is better than Yao,are you agree?

Shaq is the best big man in the NBA even though he is in his decline of his career. Id much rather have Shaq on my team than Yao because Yao is so easily pushed around. The only reason Detroit can beat Shaq is because they can put 4 different defenders on Shaq (Ben,Rasheed,Dale Davis, Darko Milicic) so Detroit can put a fresh defender on to wear down Shaq. To wear down Yao Ming, you only need one decent defender that matches up well in strength. Further, Shaq wants the ball late in games whereas Yao seems to give McGrady the ball. I dont even think Yao is good enough for the All-Star game, there are other centers in the West putting up better all  around numbers.

I think you want me to say Zo, and he was great this playoffs, but you cant underestimate the effect that Shaq has on other teams defenses, offenses, psyches, game plans, etc.  I dont think the Heat could have won the championship w/o him, without Zo...maybe so.

Yes Shaq is one of the most underated players of all time not by sports anaylsts but by the people and the fans. all of shaqs 3 teams have been successful.\n          He made penny hardaway bbetter Dwayne Wade and Yes he did make Kobe bryant \n\n            Kobe would not be able to play the way he is wihout shaq shaq is a leader and is definetly in the top 3 for centers of all time \n\n             Shaq deserves to get MVP every year. I am not a shaq fan. I think if he was not tall and strong he wouldnt be any good but he is. HE is also very athletic for his size\n\n        Any one who says kobe is better than shaq knows noting about basketball

steve nash again \nor shaq

No. This is because you can't really compare the two of them yet, because kobe is still young- but so far, he isnt, because kobe doesnt pass the ball. all he does is shoot, shoot, shoot. but dont get me wrong- kobe is probably the most skilled player in the league today. jus think where the lakers would be without him.

it depends on what you mean by "better"... in the clutch, i would take reggie miller over anyone but mj, kareem, bird, nd magic...regardless of when, where, or against whom...steve nash i think will prove to be the better overall player by the end of his career, in stats, mvp's, and titles; well, at least in the first 2, i'm suddenly sensing a shift of power in the nba (and nhl as well), from the western-dominance of the late-90s to early 2000s to a new order of eastern supremacy--can you say lebron nd the cavs vs. chauncey billups and the pistons vs. d-wade and the heat for the next decade???  i see the writing on the wall... but, back to topic; steve nash will end his career with better stats and more mvp's than reggie miller, and will prove to have made his team better, but reggie is and will always be one of the best players EVER in the clutch

Shaq should have won nearly every MVP since his third or fourth year even though i dislike him\nno one has every had a larger impact on a team, there has yet been a strategy that can beat him\nhe is underrated because most people dislike the fact that his only talents are enormous size, power, and athleticism

Shaq. Shaq can score. Shaq will have a bigger impact because his TEAM is not as good (though the level of play is about equal right now).

TMAC by far. Kobe only puts up points. Hes a huge ball hog, he doesnt make his team any better. his team plays just as well without him. McGradys rockets have won only 1 game without him and lose like 13 or so. the reason TMac hasnt won a ring is because look who he has played for. Rapters, Magic, please those teams are horible. The reason he hasnt won in Houston is because Yao is nothing special. He is horrible for a big man. You cant even compair him to shaq. Kobe only has rings BECAUSE OF Shaq. Proof is look at him now that Shaq is gone. He only puts up points. TMac is a team player who makes everyone play better, but when the game is on the line he wants the ball and will make the plays. Perfect proof is the 13 points in 30 seconds or so against the Spurs to win the game..Enough Said

WOW its funny how u put it in in the additional information and yet NO1 got it. IT'S OBVIOUSLY SHAQ. Even though MJ and Wilt can score Shaq can prolly defend them better than anyone else. Therefore he has "the power to defeat over"

that's a good one. gee...i dont know. i think gilbert has the edge because  D-Wade has Shaq who can draw all the attention to the low post game but than boom, he passes it to wade who shoots the 3. while gilbert has antwaan jamision and that's it. jamision doesn't draw that much attention. plus wade has walker too.

I'm not aware that folks actually 'compare' them - folks simply have an opinion of which they prefer.\n\nTo say one is better than the other is pointless as they are very different sports with different athletic requirements no more no less.

People will always say Lebron or Shaq, but you have to see if scoring a bunch of points makes them great. If Shaq didnt weigh 300 lbs and was only 6'6" like M.J. he would be working at McDonalds. He sucks. He is only good when he is 3 feet from the rim. Kobe is better than Lebron but excluding those 2 Wade is coming up very fast. It took more than Shaq to get them to the finals right? Kobe #1   Lebron #2    Wade#3     Shaq#12

That's like comparing a chainsaw and an Afghan rug. You can't compare them. Shaq and Kobe both play basketball. A chainsaw and an Afghan rug are things that could be in your house. Otherwise, there is nothing in common. Shaq and Kobe are completely different players. If you asked which player I would rather have on my team, that would be Shaq, especially since they really need a true center. Kobe is just a punk. Talented punk, but he's still just a punk.

I love Yao Ming for 1 but with a broken foot he can't be number 1 if he didnt have a broken foot It would be hard to answer cause I love him and Tracy both..alot
