    Shaq would struggle and live out his days aspiring to be like Armen Gilliam was in his prime.

    There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    Guys keep in mind Dream got many of his skills from playing soccer and being athletic. I Dream started off as heavy as Shaq:
    1. He would have lost alot of wait as a youngster playing soccer.
    2. He would not have played soccer (may have done something else since he was so big) and may have never played in the NBA.

    Also if Shaq was only 6'10 he would have had to developed more shots to get the shot over taller opponents.

    I personally think it is impossible to switch bodies for 2 player.

    But if you could, imaginge Barkley in Shaq's body [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Why is it players always get dogged if they're game is based on size instead of quickness? It's pretty much out of Shaq's hands how quick his talent allows him to become just as it's out of Hakeem's hands how big his frame will allow him to become. People always say stuff like Shaq would never be an all Star if he was only the size of Kobe Bryant. Why doesn't anyone ever ask if Kobe would be an All Star if he only had the quickness of Shaq? It's all irrelevant. Players should not have to apologize if their domination is solely based on their size.
