doesn't Shaq being the main focus of the other team have any weight in this discussion? I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with any of you, and I don't want to get into your argument, but I always remembered Shaq being the one teams double teamed and focused on first and foremost(not to say they didn't focus on Kobe too, because they obviously did..but I always remembered Shaq coming first)..

I don't see how this can't be Shaq, Kobe's prime might be longer than Shaq's, but Shaq at his peak was superior to Kobe and Duncan by a fair margin.

Going by the dominating a game by themselves factor I rank them like this...

Shaq (Most dominate big man since Wilt)



Kobe (best pure talent in the league)

Duncan (good at what he does and a great team leader in a great system, far from domimating a game by himself as the other 2 IMO)
