3 is a franchise player. People picking 4 is looking for a rude awakening. The ONLY player 4 will be a SURE pick will be Shaq. Other than Shaq which will NEVER happen again atleast in the next 10-15 years is no one!

#1 all day. I need a man that can be depended on to shoot free throws at least somewhat. Shaq was hella dominant, but if he shoot 50% from the line, when it comes down to it in a game and we are losing I can't get him the ball, of if we are up just barely - same deal.

Ha, the FG% must have gotten copied twice, apologies to Yao and anyone who would have changed their vote.

Yao shot 83.2% FTs, a huge difference.

Since he got zero votes, it's still a totally fair comparison of the other 4.
 
3 is a franchise player. People picking 4 is looking for a rude awakening. The ONLY player 4 will be a SURE pick will be Shaq. Other than Shaq which will NEVER happen again atleast in the next 10-15 years is no one!

I guess I was right on all levels!
 
So what players match each number? I can't tell who's who

Shaquille O'Neal = Player 4


Patrick Ewing = Player 1


Tim Duncan = Player 3


Dwight Howard = Player 5


Yao Ming = Player 2 but much better at free throws.

It's easy to see if you voted or click view results.
 
I think the main takeaway here is Ewing beating Duncan.

Patrick Ewing is very underrated.

:yes: He received a lot of attention early, but it seems for the last half of his career he was overshadowed by Hakeem and David Robinson and then Shaq.
 
imo fg% + ft% mighta cost duncan a few votes that went to pat :dunno:
As they should have.

Championships disproportionately shape opinions of players, so Duncan is seen as being in a higher ethos than Ewing. You ask almost anybody who they would choose to build a team around and, based on name and reputation, they'd pick Duncan.

But the stats suggest that they were at the very least equals in their primes-- And I agree with the majority of BGOL who thought Ewing had the better numbers.
