A lot of people like to deem Shaq most dominant of this generation, but Tim Duncan has done a lot in his own right as the best forward of his generation and anchor of one of the best teams of this era.

At this point, would you say Shaq or Duncan has had a better career, all things considered?

They've both had amazing careers, obviously, but if I had to break it down I would break it down like this:

Shaq, for his career, was more dominant, period. He's a genetic freak, and once his skill caught up with his size he was unstopable. Duncan on the other hand isn't as physically imposing but is more fundamentally sound (I hope that doesn't sound too cliche). But I really believe that Duncan more than anyone has benefited most from the organization he plays for. The spurs area very well ran organization, and he was lucky to have D-Rob there in the beginning. Yes, it's true Shaq never won until he went to LA, but that's besides the point.

In terms of who's had a better career though...I'd give the edge to Shaq, because 4 rings > 3. But Duncan is not far behind. When it's all said and done they'll both be top 10 of all time.

Horry > all active if you go by rings.

Anyways, im a big duncan fan but you have to give the edge to shaq. And its not for the 4th ring of shaq, since he wasnt anywhere close of being the best player in the finals. He just was much more dominant at his prime.

Duncan would need to lead the spurs to 2 more titles (or play at peak level for the rest of his carrer) if he wants to surpass shaq on my list.
