If everyone was at their primes, Celtics would be by far the best team

[KG5MVP]

If prime Shaq was truly unstoppable then he wouldn't have only gotten 4 rings, he wouldn't have lost in 2003 to spurs and 2004 to pistons, and he wouldn't have lost all those playoffs before 2000. Stop overrating him.

Celtics would be able to guard Lebron and Shaq with no problem, prime KG + prime Wallace = unscorable paint.

Ban This Fool Please..

He is pretty unstoppable when U also add the best player in the world...basically Shaq and Lebron in there Primes better and More Dominant than Allen,Pierce and KG in there's.

Young Kidd and Marion on the mavs?

Spurs with 03 Duncan and young Mcdyess and ratliff would give up nothing in the paint.

If prime Shaq was unstoppable how did he get stopped by old David Robinson in 2003 and Ben Wallace in 2004?

[Cangri]

Well at least we can agree that the Celtics and the Cavs would be the top teams in the league.

[scott0326]

Celtics wouldn't be "by far", Id take Cavs over them any day. Lebron and Shaq both in prime would be absolutely crazy.

he did?

shaq shot like 60% in that finals series, it was kobe chucking up majority of the shots @ 30% that costed them the champinship

[inclinerator]

prime lakers would be pretty nice too

prime bynum- interesting to see how he develop
prime kobe-
right now gasol
lock down defense ron artest
prime derek clutch fisher

Kobe was very often shooting at the expiration of the shot clock. They were force-feeding Shaq, as always, and it kept coming back to Kobe late on the clock...every damn time. This was a function of outstanding Detroit team defense, and other Lakers (non-Kobe, non-Shaq) not doing a damn thing.
And, yes, Big Ben did a GREAT job on Shaq.

go look at the game log of that spurs series.

shaq stats with losses vs. spurs

game 1: 21 points, 21 rebounds, 4 blocks
game 2: 27 points, 10 rebounds
game 5: 20 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks
game 6: 31 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks

shaq was very consistent but kobe that series had terrible shooting nights with bowen on him and the rest of the team had bad nights as well with devan george going 0-7 in one loss

you could have an argument with ben wallace but no one on that prime celtcs roster is as good as big ben defensively in his prime

Lebron, Parker, Moon, West



Maybe not, but a prime Shaq could (as could Lebron, AV, Powe, or Z)

I wasn't going to participate in this pathetic thread, but then this kid posted this. I mean, seriously? You think Parker, Moon or West could guard a PRIME Ray Allen/Michael Finley/Paul Pierce? You're crazy.

Then to say a prime Shaq could guard a prime KG? You're still crazy. And I'll pretend like you didn't say LeBron, Powe or Z could guard a prime KG. KG would just take Shaq and Z out on the perimeter and drive by them or shoot jumpers. And KG would just take LeBron and Powe down on the block and do his patented baseline turnaround fader all day long.
