Strength:

• Most physically overpowering player of all-time in the NBA

• Great rim protector averaging 2.3 BLK per game

• Underrated off-ball movement to find positional advantages

• Incredible explosiveness due to his agility and size

• Had a surprisingly reliable fade away with more range than you’d expect (NOT beyond the FT line)

• Great offensive rebounder dude to his wingspan and pogo stick like jumping ability

• Willing passer with good enough accuracy especially during double teams

Weaknesses:

• Did NOT attempt a single shot further than 15 ft from the basket making his plays predictable

• Hack-a-Shaq was a very viable defensive strategy against him as he was an all-time TERRIBLE free throw shooter

• Lacked vision with his passing

• Slow in getting back in transition

• Slow lateral quickness and inconsistent defensive awareness
