Anyone else EXTREMELY surprised that Shaq... (extremely interesting)

[dubeta]

Only scored 2000+ points in 4 seasons in his ENTIRE career?

Thats pretty low for arguably "The MDE ever"


2000 points means being able to score around 25 ppg for a full season



For reference

Kobe: 8 Times

LeBron: 9 times (lol already 1 more season than Kobe even though he played 7 less seasons)

Thought this was interesting, sometimes nostalgia makes us forget all the mediocre things about players in the past.

bruh comparing LBJ to Shaq is idiocy.

Shaq never accomplished anything without an elite Guard.

Lebron carried a team full of scrubs to 60+ win twice.

[SyRyanYang]

He rarely played a full season

This isn't interesting at all. It doesn't take a genius to look at Shaqs games played each season to see why.

[dubeta]

He rarely played a full season

So should his championships have asterisks since he rested the season and was fresh for the playoffs??

devastating injury =/= rest


In fact LeBron shouldve taken more time off to rehabilitate.

In the weakest conference of all time. Hell, Luke walton could lead a east coast team to 60 wins

Regular season means shit when you can dominate the finals anyway

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Not surprised a LeBron Stan places inherently more value in the regular season.

[gts]

he played 19 seasons.. 12 of those 19 he played less than 70 games

this is not rocket science

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Shaq > LeBron.

Shitty threads like this one are why no one takes you or the LeBron family (so basically you and your alts) seriously.

Patrick Ewing only did it twice. Both got into a lot of foul trouble so the had to play less minutes and shoot less when they were in danger of fouling out.

All you need to know about the OP's agenda:

2000 points means being able to score around 25 ppg for a full season

Shaq has 10 seasons averaging 25+ ppg (the lowest of which was 26.2 ppg). As others have pointed out, it's because he missed games many seasons, not because he didn't have the ability. But lol @ the agenda.
