[@joshuahaynes7128]

44 points, 21 rebounds 7 blocks and 4 assists. Those numbers are insane. The only player I'd take over this prime Shaq is jordan. He was 3 blocks short from having a triple double that was 40+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 10 blocks. But still. 44 points, 21 rebounds, 7 blocks and 4 assist.

[@arsonhakobyan]

@@joshuafult84 Perhaps. He already was a good passer out of double teams by his sophomore season, something he struggled at his rookie season, though he never was one to force the issue, contrary to his image. 94 was the last season of his basketball life that he was in his youthful frame too. By 95 (yr. they went to the Finals vs. Rockets), he already was looking closer to his Lakers overwhelming behemoth-self than to that of while super bulky, gazelle type when starting out w/ the Magic at barely 300Lbs. As his shoulders widened, he became even harder to handle inside, but no longer could do the baseline spins or run the floor almost as great David Robinson. Still better than most, but not like an elite running & nimble center.

@@joshuahaynes7128 Did you even watch the 00' season!? Kobe was way more deferent to Shaq & Phil's traingle throughout the 00' campaign than 01'. Shaq was also in better shape in 00' than 01'. That was why they won 67games the yr before, but just 56games this yr. 01' was the 1st season Kobe came into training camp demanding to be a #1 option so he could avg 30 like Jordan. They were just lucky to put their differences aside and get hot towards the end, and run into a bunch of teams that were in turmoil, underperforming, and/or injured, and then a Sixers team that was arguably the worst to ever make a Finals. 01' was the season Kobe stopped letting the game flow through the Diesel.

[@kingphil4073]

Joshua Haynes no center back in 2004 was close either you guys need to get your eyes checked and stop thinking every thing is better in the past. And in today's NBA DeMarcus cousins is more valuable to a team offensively. Cousins is a way better passer ( even tho Shaq is a good one too can shoot) a better shooter. While Shaq cant shoot two free throws to save his life he would get hack a Shaq every time and will not be able to play a full game if he throws elbows and everything. Don't get me wrong I know what Shaq can do and I know that he is better than boogie for sure.

[@arsonhakobyan]

@@lewismcrae4672 He wouldn't have the endurance to avg 50 in any era. Wilt had way more endurance than Shaq. And handchecks don't faze big men. The no handchecking thing disproportionately helps the guards, discourages the need for a big man. And w/ all the heavy-zones, wide open play and lack of conventional sets being played today, he just would not see the touches he'd need to consistently get into a heavy rhythm, even if he got to play w/ an unselfish wing like Lebron. He'd still be a very good asset, cause he'd crash the boards, get dunks, block shots, nobody would be able to move him, but he lacks the range + mobility necessary in today's game to see the ball often enough, to lead the league in scoring. Phil Jackson was expandable in New York cause no one wanted to run the triangle anymore, and then same w/ Jeff Hornacek, cause no one wanted to run the UCLA heavy 1/4 pick-&-role anymore every possession down the floor. Hakeem Olajuwon would be much more effective than Shaq in today's game, cause he actually had the mobility of a small forward to get out of traps, switch out on guards, and make plays out of nothing; could also be an affective face the basket player from 18ft & in. I think that Olajuwon would actually have enough skill to extend his range out to the 3pt line to be an okay (not prolific) 3pt shooter. Shaq can't even be an okay free throw shooter.

@@x-man9473 Shaq more dominant than Wilt?

[@x-man9473]

@@arsonhakobyan Shaq's more dominant than Wilt for the same reason that Jordan is greater than Wilt-pure dominance. Shaq's dominance is pure. He looked doninant even while playing a team game. Wilt only looks dominant when he plays selfishly. Once he stopped playing selfishly, he wasn't seen as dominant anymore. Shaq has a high basketball IQ. He knows how to dominate while playing a team game. Wilt doesn't. Wilt just pads his stats and brags about the records he set.

I cant believe people compared Dwight Howard to Shaq haha ... shaqs past prime down years was like Dwights best year.. when did Howard ever averaged 25 plus a game? Shaq was a 28 and 13 guy all thru the 90s and then he's peak was 00-01-03-04

Imagine if he made the dunk at 4:13

How many finals MVPs did Kobe win with Shaq?

Who Wins 2013 Miami vs 2018 Warriors?

[@teddyhaynes9876]

Warriors . But it be a 6/7 game series , but neither of them teams would beat the 01 lakers in a 7 game series

[@pingKING94]

i dont care what anyone says, best center ever...

[@joshuahaynes7128]

pingKING94 it's easy to see ... shaq haters like to say hakeem shut shaq down in 95 but shaq still averaged 28 and 14 but hakeem was a veteran and shaq was still super young and his body wasnt close to early 00s shaq.. this shaq would own any center ever on the block period

[@joshuafult84]

@@joshuahaynes7128 100% they always bring up a baby shaq losing to Hakeem but never the fact Hakeem only won championships when Jordan retired

The kings needs 1995s big dream to help.

[@teddyhaynes9876]

1995 dream would get bodied by this version of Shaq , in 94/95 finals Shaq stil averaged 25/14 against prime peak Hakeem , Shaq in 95 was still young and slim , he wasn’t bulked up mvp Shaq yet ..

Even lebron never got to this level

[@91Omerde]

I don't like this style of basketball, that power style, I mean if you can play like Shaq did it is effective. But I prefer a more finesse style with more dribbling moves, fakes, Jump Shots etc, that's why I like Olajuwon better

[@joshuahaynes7128]

91Omerde nah .. hakeem beat a young shaq in 95 . Shaq still averaged 28 and 14 but the rockets was a great team .. but lets be real cause 00-04 Shaq was way way way stronger than 90s shaq .. this 01 lakers team would sweep the 95 rockets.

[@Theterminato2013]

Shaq usually had his absolute best series in the Western Conference playoffs vs the Kings because CWebb and Vlade were both trash rim protectors and were bbq chicken to Shaq. Arvydas Sabonis & Dale Davis from the Blazers and Tim Duncan and David Robinson from the Spurs played better defense on Shaq.

[@teddyhaynes9876]

Yelp , I’ve still seen Shaq dominate Duncan and Robinson many times , but your right tho , Kobe usually was the man against the spurs … people don’t realize how amazing it was that the lakers had Kobe and Shaq on the same team , I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that we won’t ever see a more talented and dominant 1/2 punch like Kobe and Shaq again . They was literally 1A and 1B ,

[@marksasunov4057]

kobe fans rank him over this beast is laughable

[@Only2GendersCommonSense]

What you talkin bout? 2000 finals: Kobe = 15 ppg on 36% The most dominant individual performance in NBA finals history.

[@dejon18]

Kobe w/o shaq has 2 chips and 2 fmvps. Shaq w/o kobe 1 chip 0 fmvps. Case closed

[@dejon18]

@Joshua Haynes shaq was the most dominant force of the 21st century there's no denying that. But shaq laziness, poor freethrow shooting and the clutch factor is why im taking kobe over him. And another thing is shaq needs someone to get him the ball kobe (or any elite guard really) doesn't need that.

[@cole9777]

@@dejon18 Kobe didn't win by himself. He needed Pau Gasol just as much as he needed Shaq.
