| Advanced Metrics Nonsense
Just giving myself a thread to post stuff that I find interesting, even if none of you find it interesting. |

| The one glaring guy that is missing is Shaq. He was top 5 (probably top 3) at his position for 15 years, but never #1. Kinda crazy.
Also, keep in mind this is per minute. Shawn Bradley could only play 24 minutes per game, so he wasn't "MVP" of centers, per se. | |

| And AK47 was the man. Dude could get you a 5x5 (though rarely). I remember some analyst saying he had been the only guy to do it in like a decade, and he had done it like 3 or 4 times. | |

Shaq is the only all-time great NBA player I can think of that got his status not through being a great player, but just by being a mammoth human being. | |

| I meant the guys winning it during shaq's prime. But those would be the two possibles for me, as well. | |

| Then I'll stick with my answer, as much of Kareem's offensive game wasn't in the same spot of the floor as the Shaqtus. I think Hakeem was the better basketball player but Shaq would win the post on both ends just because of his size. | |

| Yeah. Also, as for the guys winning it during the three-peat and such, yeah no way. I easily take Shaq. I think the per-minute thing is to explain here. | |
