Shaq Is The Best Athlete Of The Decade

If you were wondering who is the athlete of the decade who else could it be but Shaquille O'Neal. During the last decade Shaq has been the most dominating player in the NBA and four NBA Championships is the proof. From double teams to intentional fouls opponents tried everything to slow down and stop Shaq but failed time after time. Because of Shaq’s dominating play it allowed up and coming super stars like Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade to prosper. In an era in which dominating centers where a thing of the past Shaq was a grant super star with no equal. Accompanied by Kobe Bryant, Shaq took over in Michael Jordan’s place as the NBA’s most feared player. This lead to three straight NBA Titles which included one over one of the greatest clutch players of all time Reggie Miller. After the Lakers NBA domination Shaq moved on to the Miami Heat where another Michael Jordan like player awaited him in Dwyane Wade. There Shaq proved he was still the most best big man in the game. His arrival lead to the Miami Heat’s first NBA Championship. Other athletes such as Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, and Ray Lewis were all great athletes during this past decade but none were more impressive than Shaquille O’Neal. Because there were few good centers in the NBA during the last decade it’s very easy to over look how great Shaq was, but greatness shouldn’t be over looked.
