Shaquille O'Neal

Though he scored far fewer points than Elgin Baylor while wearing a Lakers jersey, Shaq gets the nod at No. 5 because he dominated in the playoffs like no one else. He earned three Finals MVPs by averaging a ridiculous 35.9 points and 15.2 rebounds against the Pacers, Sixers and Nets. If only there had been less drama surrounding Shaq's last few years in L.A., he might have been higher on this list. But that was also part of the package that made Shaq a larger-than-life figure in Tinseltown.
