Which leads back to Shaq, no matter what his team, as long as he is healthy enough to play, he will drag his team to the top of the list of NBA Championship contenders and will give them an extremely good chance of winning it all. No other big man in the sport for quite a while has been able to do that for his team.

As for Lance Armstrong, it's winning the exact same event for 7 years that seems to be tailor made for him. He just stays near the top in order to take the lead in the mountains where he has a biological advantage (as discussed in a Discovery Channel special) and overall just does the same thing. So what? The Tour de France is not the only cycling event in the world, yet it's the only one we ever hear Lance winning. Yet since the Tour de France gives advantages to Lance he's able win 7 in a row and be crowned an international hero. It seems more equivilent to old school Nebraska football playing the best Division III school out there. The DIII school will have a chance in the beginning, but eventually Nebraska would just beat them into submission, running the ball up the gut and allowing the DIII team to do nothing on offense.
