Andrew bynum and nene are two i can think of...
and nene is eeriely similar to shaq in the paint, i saw the nuggets play with the mavs and twice in the game he did the backspin leaving the defender and follow with a strong dunk...
One word potential he is strong and fast like shaq too...

Shaquille O'Neal closest resembles Shaq beacause he IS Shaq. Hahaha. But i know what you mean and I can't really think of anyone because the NBA's all into "finesse centers" now and the "PF/C" thing rather than having massive, powerful, 7 footers like Shaquille O'Neal. I give u props though Nene and Bynum are good comparisons. I thought of Dwight Howard but Howard is MUCH more of a rebounder/defender then Shaq is/was even at an early age and Shaquille O'Neal is much more of an unstoppable scoring prescense then Howard is/ will be.

right when i saw this question, i instantly thought dwight howard. the man is a freak of nature just like shaq was... errrr and still is. haha. dwight definitely has the talent and the power to be just as successful as shaq became. i mean, he already has all-star caliber and now all he needs is to grow through his strengths and weaknesses and of course help his team get far (if not all the way) into the playoffs. =)

Dwight Howard is the closest player to Shaq right now in NBA. cause he's huge and he strong. in couple years he will dominate the paint and will be the best player in NBA history ever to play his position.

I will say D. Howard from Magic. When they draft him that year, they were comparing him with Shaq. However, I think Howard is more atheletic but the body is not as strong as Shaq.

Tony Parker its a assessment i'm getting made alot (in spite of if im no the place close to his potential point being im in common terms 14 and that i dont think of I ever would be as large as him) yet im a one guy speedy injury on my intense college team. I even have the potential to hit tremendously difficult double snatch lay united statesbut my jumper is tremendously inconsistent yet i'm able to knock down the effort-free loose throw line and a splash previous jumper.

no one because shaq for a big man can make a team good on his own. wade gone? no problem shaq's a great team player and no power big man in the NBA can pass.

Ben Wallace. They are both huge, solid defenders, dominant in the paint and don't do so well in the free throw line.
