let's see...
shaq is the most dominant center in the game today.
he can get to the basket whenever he wants, and no one (except big ben that one time!) can stop him from rocking the basket support.
he still intimidates point guards under the basket, but his rebounding numbers are down this year.
dirk is a 7-foot power forward who can shoot lights out and rebound.
dallas can't afford to lose him, so i guess he's more valuable to his team than shaq is to his.
the heat could still compete without shaq, because they have mourning and walker.
verdict: shaq's still better, but dirk's gaining ground...
