Shaq, he's much more fluid and mobile despite weighing prolly 60-70 more lbs, and he's playing double the minutes.

I mean, that's not to blame Dike for his old age, it just means shaq's more fit to be playing NBA level basketball.

Mutombo has not played 35+ minutes once all season, and has only played 30+ minutes 3 times. Shaq has played 35+ mins 9 times, and 30+ mins 29 times. Mutombo is in great shape for a 7'2" 41 year old, and he's certainly way more cut than Shaq, but Shaq is 5 years younger, and definitely in better basketball shape right now.

For his age this is Dikembe (easily).

they both in pretty good shape. shaq is in more shape right now, probably cuz of more running and activity with phoenix. deke is ageless though, he could probably play until he's 50. (altho he mite be 50 right now, haha.)
