Shaq is still the most dominant player in the game. There is almost no way to defend him. Detroit did a good job, but they still couldn't completely contain him.
The Mavs would certainly be better off with Shaq. Even if they had to get rid of Nowitski and a couple others. Hell, I could be the point guard on the Mavs and they'd still make the playoffs. Even I can make a lob pass to Shaq in the low post.
Shaq is easily my least-favorite player next to Magic Johnson, but I've got to say he's one hell of a dominant player.
But don't listen to me, I have no clue what I'm talking about. I probably think the Celtics can make it to the NBA Finals this year.
