Shaquille O'Neal

Career Averages: 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 58.2% FG

Notable Achievement: Only second player after Michael Jordan to be named Finals MVP three consecutive years

Probably the most dominant player ever.

Shaquille O'Neal, the 15-time All-Star, in his prime, was an unstoppable force. He had the jump hook, he had the spin move, he could pass out of the double team from the post but what set him apart from every other center was his mobility for a man of his size.

O'Neal along with Kobe Bryant led the Los Angeles Lakers to three straight titles from 2000-02. He went on to win another title with the Miami Heat in 2006. Just like Hakeem, Shaq was imposing on both ends of the floor. He ranks 8th on the league's all-time list for blocks, with 2,732.

Shaq is the most recent player on this list to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, as a member of the Class of 2016.
