Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3181376, member: 2458"] Shaq was kindve bizarre. He basically played every game his first few years in Orlando. Then he got hurt like 3 years in a row. I remember he broke his thumb getting hacked, with the Lakers. He tore his abdominal one year too. Teams would just hammer him, trying to stop him. It was all they could do. Then he was healthy like 3 years in a row again(one was a strike year though). Then he was in his 30s and put on weight and while he was dominant force for a few more years, he wasn’t the freak athlete that he used to be, and he started breaking down more and playing less. Like 1993-2001 Shaq that was in his 20s didn’t take games off. He just had a few unlucky injuries in the middle years of that stretch. [/QUOTE]
