Shaq
Shaq has been shooting free-throws very well this season and i hope he continues to.
He is still being an agressive player like he is, and continues to improve on everythin that he does. He is the most agressive center and player of the NBA. I think he might become the best "Center" there ever was in NBA history. Not only the fact that he reached the 20,000 point mark, but also that he has made his team mates better over the years. He will always continue to do that no matter what.
