The rest are pretty universally legit except for Center but here's why I made my choice: Shaq would've been dominant in all eras from the beginning to Today...in his prime, no one could defend him. He scored, handled the ball like a PG, had tons of assists, rebounds and blocks. His only holes were Free Throws and crappy movies.
Wilt scored 100 in a game and AVERAGED 50 points and 25 rebounds one year. Shaquille never came close too any of those numbers. Oh yeah, Wilt was awesome in Conan.

Yeah but he played in an age that no one knew how to defend a center and no one was even anywhere near his size.

You do have a point on his movie though...he was awesome.

He was the only good part of that movie.

The first Conan was far better.

I disagree, Bill Russell gave Wilt fits, and won 11 championships. And no one has mentioned him as the GOAT? Shaq was much bigger than everybody not named Yao Ming.

You have a point...Bill Russell is legit, just not as memorable I guess.

Dr J, Julius Erving... Small Forward... I mean, even Shaq picks him over Jordan and Lebron.

Just throwing that out there for some conversation, for those that even remember him...

... and for those that don't...

Bill never had a roll in an action movie, just those old long distance commercials.
