    After Olajuwon owned Shaq's as* and took him to school in the '95 Finals, it was like a fire was lighted in him because that's what he became the monster everybody remembers in the Lakers. I always thought he was the Monster Hakeem created. I have never seen someone as dominant like Shaq in his prime on a basketball court and chances are I never will.

    I totally agree with you on that, Teej. Olajuwon was taking every center in the game to school those two years he won the title. Fortunately for all of us, Shaq was a student of the game, took it seriously and wanted to end his career as one of the greatest centers ever.

    He did just that.
