Anyone saying Shaq is one-dimensional doesn't know basketball.

How so?  Did Shaq have a great handle?  Great 3-point shooting ability?  Was he a great passer?  Did he pick up defensively full court?

Shaq was a great paint player....  and had little skills outside the paint...  Look at it this way, if Curry is one-dimensional, then by default, so is Shaq.  

*Shaq was 1 for 22 from the 3-point line....  for his career.  4.54%...  52% from the foul line...

Here is the thing, Shaq couldn't be stopped.  So my point is being one-dimensional doesn't mean anything.  If a player can't be stopped, he can't be stopped.  I don't care if it is the same move over and over and over.

Shaq was an exceptional passer out of double teams; that's why his teams got so many wide-open 3s. Shaq had a baby hook right up to the foul line. Shaq eliminates all paint activity, so they're forced to play on the perimeter, and unlike Rudy (who is the definition of one-dimensional), he punishes people on both ends. He's not perfect, but you don't know shit about basketball if you think Shaq is one-dimensional. Did you even watch him?
