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?

Exceptional passer???  He averaged 2.5 assists a game....  yeah I watched him, he was unstoppable due to size and strength.  Highly skilled at multiple aspects of the game, not so much.  He dominated the paint.....  and only the paint..  sounds one dimensional to me.

Also I like it when people resort to be being rude once they start losing an argument.  Classic internet.
