Shaq names his top 10 players of all time 

Shaquille O’Neal is arguably the most dominant player in NBA history. He’s on most people’s top 10 list, but he doesn’t quite make his own.

Shaq recently gave his list of the top 10 players in NBA history. He began putting himself at 10, but quickly took himself off in favor of Julius “Dr. J” Erving.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Shaq’s been on record saying Dr. J was his favorite player growing up.

The player at Shaq’s number one spot is also nothing of a surprise. He has named this player as his GOAT on many occasions.

The remainder of Shaq’s list, however, may surprise some people. He has kept a legendary big man off the list, while a certain GOAT candidate is out of the top two.

Here’s Shaq’s top 10:

1. Michael Jordan

2. Kobe Bryant

3. LeBron James

4. Magic Johnson

5. Bill Russell

6. Wilt Chamberlain

7. Larry Bird

8. Hakeem Olajuwon

9. Tim Duncan

10. Julius Erving
