I think Shaq just doesn't want to give away his MDE title and obviously feel threaten by Ming OR why would he wants to make comment like that. He said Ming need to stop him from scoring 29 or something to be dominant. But then again, why wasn't Shaq able to score over Yao either and dominate him?? If Shaq is a dominate center, he seems to have a hard time going through Yao, never mind the other midgets centers that he dominate over the years. Does this mean Shaq is still dominant??? From what i seen, he isn't dominating over Yao, so if he's not dominating over Yao, should he still be consider the most dominating player in the game???? I don't think so. My point is Shaq is making all these comments cuz his MDE title is being threaten obviously. Yao is challenging him and Shaq is obviously scared of losing the title. If he is STILL the MDE player in the game, he should be able to dominate Yao, but he isn't...so there you go. Now as far as Yao being in the same dominate player as Shaq, who's to say he isn't?? Giving him a couple years and see what happens. The fact is, if Yao can stop Shaq from being dominating, Yao can eventually become the most dominating player in the league, that is if he consistenly beating other centers beside Shaq and that we will have to wait and see over the years. Shaq said that to be dominating, one has to use brute forces and cursing and stuffs...but that's funny cuz i never seen Shaq cuss at all and also who's to say that one has to use brute force to be a dominant player?? Yao can dominate in other ways, he has the height to dominate on offense and the height to alter shots on defense. Nevermind what Shaq said that Yao got help from his teammates, which is true, but there are lot of times Yao play him straight one on one and Shaq isn't going anywhere.
