You're really underrating shaq if that's all you think he does. Sure he may be old and past his prime now, but there's a reason he dominated for all those years. There are many "strong, heavy, and aggressive" players out there, but they don't play or succeed like shaq. Shaq knew his limitations, but he was smart enough to take advantage of his special combination of agility, size, and strength. He was also a great passer off double teams and knew how to repost. I think that takes SOME semblance of skills.
LOL...I remeber this board going ape**** about a similar stretch by Yao. The Rockets weren't winning either but that didn't seem to matter with Yao.
