It's easy to remember because they changed arenas. It coincided with so many things. New uniforms, Phil, first title etc.I break Shaq down like this. It’s crazy...cuz he came into the league...basically a top 15 player in the league at that time and by year 3....he was a top 50 player of all time . But it goes like this:
Young Shaq: 92 to 94
Early Prime (Athletic peak): 95 to 99 Shaq
Full Prime (Talent + Experience + Competent Roster/Coaching) : 00-03 Shaq
Late Prime: 04-08 Shaq
Washed/Ring Chasing Shaq: 09 to retirement.
