I would totally agree with that. If you didn't have to play D, Curry would be a stronger contender. Wilt wasn't a great FT shooter, but that didn't hurt as much in the days before hack-a-Shaq. And even if he could hit FTs I'm not sure who on that list I would drop for Shaq.
Shaq is also a bit of a hard case because his effectiveness so often did come down to how the refs were calling fouls on his spin move at the basket.
