    Shaq was traded for Marion so they werent on the team at the same time.

    I think the Celtics team with Shaq takes it.

    this... quite easly


    prime shaq and prime kobe alone with scrubs was a force that won 3 b2b2b titles


    2000 shaq + 2006 kobe + 1997 malone + 1998 payton + 1994 horace grant

    celtics team with shaq could make a case.

    LA

    - nash: 2x MVP, led league in assists multiple times

    - kobe: MVP, 2x scoring champ

    - artest: DPOY

    - gasol: 5x all-star, in consideration for best PF in the game at one point

    - howard: 3x DPOY, 6x all-star

    that's pretty damn stacked but a KG/shaq frontcourt in their prime? allen, pierce and rondo? god, that would be devastating. you also have the 2004 lakers of course...

    For arguments sake mates ill nominate the Cavs team which had Shaq and Bron (likely the most potent pairing ever if respective primes are used) and then they had i believe Z and Jamison who had allstar caliber primes.

    Still not as good as the shaq celtics but one of the better theoretical teams out there, mates.

    Bron and shaq

    prime payton > prime nash ( don't care what the mvp voters say )

    prime kobe = prime kobe

    prime grant = prime artest

    prime malone >>>x50> prime pau

    prime shaq >>>>>x20> prime howard


    as nice as the lakers look now... give me the prime 2004 lakers

    How about the 2011-2012 Mavs?

    You have The Almighty, Shawn Marion, Vince Carter, and Kidd. That's an insane prime team!

    The 83 Lakers are severely getting overlooked.

    Prime KAG and McAdoo would create the biggest mismatch problems out of any frontcourt. They also have Magic. Norm Nixon, Jalmaal Wilkes, and Byron Scott make a great rotation at gaurd. Prime Cooper and Worthy as your SF rotation. That's as deadly as you can get.
