i dont see the upside that shaq had. this guys a better player as a freshman (dont forget this guy is at least a year older than shaq was at this stage), but not the athleticism i remember from shaq.
I agree about Shaq's athleticism. It was uncanny how someone that big could jump and run the floor. Not sure we'll see that anytime soon. But Oden has a much better offensive game than Shaq had at that age. Shaq's only offensive move was the dunk. This guy has some skills around the basket.
I agree. I think Shaq is a much better athlete. I'd bet even with Shaqs physical health problems he could still beat Oden down the court.
