He just doesn't seem as dominant as he used to.

Assuming he's healthy...
It depends how vicious defensively your starting C is. I think the only guys who shouldn't double right now are A Stoudemire, Okafor, Duncan, Garnett, Yao, Diop, B Wallace, and Mourning (if he was on another team). Everyone else still needs to double because he is still a vicious, 7'2, over 230 lbs, and throws down a dunk with the best of them. I agree though, he isn't nearly as dominant.

Yea great point by Beast8981 i think it depends on the teams they are playing, like the Goldenstate Warriors and some other teams that have small C's i think they would have the most trouble with guarding Shaq and would have to double team him. But if the team were like Spurs Tim Duncan would handle shaq down low. Now Shaq is starting to wear out so hes not as dominat so i agree with you on that but some teams do still have trouble and have to double team him.

Yes you do....
The reason why he doesn't seem as dominant is due to the fact of D Wade. He for the most part took the brunt of other teams defenses.
You have to remember also... Because of this, he will be a lot more fresher when the playoffs come around. And that's when you'll see him in his dominant form.
