Playoff points tally: 5250

The sheer size and presence of Shaquille O'Neal, a.k.a The Big Aristotle, a.k.a Diesel, a.k.a The Real Deal, a.k.a The Big Shamrock, a.k.a (this is my personal favorite) Superman is still alive and kicking around hoops world, thanks to TNT adding him to the list of their analysts on Inside the NBA, but young'uns who haven't had the chance to witness total haplessness on a basketball court should consult the internet for footage of Shaq picking opponents apart in the late 90s and early noughties.

Through a 13-season period from 1992-2005, O'Neal averaged 27 points, 13 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game while shooting over 57% from the field, earning an All-Star game selection every year the game was played, 12 All-NBA selections (7 First Team), an MVP and 3 Finals MVP trophies. He was truly the most dominant physical force of a man ever seen on the basketball court.
