Hakeem took games over when it counted. Shaq got worked by a better center. 95 finals is a clear indication of who the better center is. Shaq didn't even put up a fight. Hakeem broomed him.


I don't agree with that.

Shaq was 22 y/o (3 years in the league) when he faced peak Hakeem in the playoffs. And a young Shaq actually performed really well against Hakeem at his best.

To me this series don't mean much, just like the 99 series, where peak Shaq destroyed an old Hakeem.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”
