You're so dumb dude.

1.Shaq
2.Kareem
3.MJ
4.?????
5.?????

On the post, MJ was double-teamed with equal frequency to Shaq - the Shaq video shows him being doubled 33 of 62 times he caught the ball on the post (53%) compared to 52 of 103 in the MJ video (50%).

[COLOR="Navy"]However, MJ got doubled all over the court, not just on the post[/COLOR] - MJ's danger from anywhere on the court resulted in teams often doubling him 10+ possessions in a row, as a standard.. This type of every-possession double teams for 10 consecutive possessions never happened for Shaq, not even in the 2000 Finals.

Considering MJ was doubled more and scored far more, he's the easily the most unguardable player ever, outside of Wilt.

LeBron won more Finals games this year missing his 2nd & 3rd option than the Knicks have won in the last 20 years

Lmao. Don't know who's placing LeBron in the top 5. There's a reason the Chosen One is 2/6 in the Finals. There's also a reason two role players, Kawhi and Iggy, got Finals MVP for specifically guarding LeBron.

Like if i really need to explain why i think he is #3? Stop trolling.... hell, prime Lebron (~2009 somewhere) is arguably the most unguardable player ive ever seen, but Shaq (Lakers ~2000) says nope.
