diesel for me...you give him a couple of days rest and you get performances like last night...

excluding last night, ben misses easy layups and is liability...btw that was the first time ive been him slam dunk a missed shot in a LONG TIME...that used to be his m.o.

Big Ben has more left in his tank, but Shaq is definitely still better right now. He can still affect the game offensively in a way Big Ben never could even in his prime.

Ben is finished....he's just plain terrible and only gets by on reputation.

Shaq might be slipping, but he's still a threat on any given night. Sadly, Ben Wallace isn't.

shaq obviously. and shaq is older.

but shaq is one of the great scorers of all time while ben is one of the worst. its a rough comparison.

ben is still a better rebounder and defender. but shaq can change a game when motivated.

Ben Wallace may play more game but Shaquille by far is the better player. Always has been and always will be. Ben Wallace is one of the most overpaid and overrated players in NBA history.
