On the "so what he still got his points" argument: huh?
Which would you rather have: a low post player that lets Shaq get a dunk most of the time or a low post player that makes him shoot in the low post that is contested?
I'd much rather have the low post player that makes Shaq shoot turn arounds, etc. Sabonis did that. No one is ever going to stop Shaq, but if he gets 30 points by hitting 7 foot turn arounds, and jump hooks, then tip your hat and call it a day. 30 points with that is a whole lot better than 30 points with half of his shots: dunks.
