Bold statement my friend, bold statement. Best Player overall? I don't exactly know if I agree. He could have been the best center ever, (and perhaps he already is) but better then Jordan, Bird, and others? I don't know about that. I understand the frustration about him not putting in the work, because somewhere between last season and this season Carmelo Anthony forgot how to play basketball, but I don't know if Shaq would have ever been considered greatest player ever.
Anywho, this season is done for the Nuggets unless they have a major turnaround. Now I get to sit and wait for them to throw a max deal at Ray Allen this summer, or work a deal for Michael Redd.
