Peak Shaq vs Current LeBron and Bosh

[Bigsmoke]

What if Shaq gets into foul trouble or what if the opposing team uses that hack a shaq method

LeBron and Bosh is clearly the answer.

Lebron + Bosh > Prime Shaq. Prime Shaq over either of them individually though.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Peak Shaq needed all-time great guards like Kobe, Penny, and Wade to really be a contender. Penny before he was injured was probably going to be a top 25 player of all-time.

Kobe's the 2nd greatest SG ever, Wade is the 4th or 5th greatest SG ever. Is that telling you something yet?

Even when Shaq had a pretty stacked squad from a talent perspective with: Elden Cambell, Nick Van Excel, and prime Eddie Jones he couldn't get it done.

I take current LeBron / Bosh over an exclusively led Shaq team, all day, every day and twice on Sunday.

Prime Shaq in today's NBA is a ridiculous mismatch against every other team, I mean there is literally noone playing today even remotely close its laughable. I mean Lebron has guys like Durant, George, even Pierce a few years ago who gives him a good matchup. Shaq circa 2000 would simply be overwhelmingly dominant today versus any other center.

In today's NBA? Shaq and it's not even close. Peak Shaq would be a 45/20 threat every single night in the playoffs, probably average 35/14/3/3/1 in the regular season.

[LilEddyCurry]

Depends who else is on the team. But Shaq would destroy every center today. He will average 30 points and like 12 rebounds if he played in this era.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Shaq is obviously going to dominate this small ball league, without true centers he'd have an even bigger feast. That much is true. But Shaq alone isn't enough to beat a team with LeBron, and Bosh. He'd need some kind of help.

Peak Shaq averaged 30/14/4/3/1 in his own era...His stats would not regress today.

This.

Peak Shaq would put up better numbers than LeBron and Bosh combined.

[PsychoBe]

i concur with swish. shaq failed miserably without an all-time great guard or something equivalent. he is a legendary center who would decimate today's front-courts but he needs a consistent valid perimeter threat to give him easy looks inside. shaq admitted to not being a great rebounder and he's not a historically great shot-blocker either statistically so that is something to consider as well.

[MichaelCorleone]

Lebron and Bosh, it's not even close to be honest.

Heck, I'll take Lebron alone over Shaq.

[LeGOAT]

Jesus Christ you guys are so so stupid

gimme lebron and bosh. shaq without kobe, penny and wade tho

[dabigbaws]

shaq easily, unless lebron and bosh have perkins on their team. in that case, shaq aint doin shit

[JimmyMcAdocious]

I think it's easier to build a team around peak Shaq than LeBron and Bosh (or essentially just LeBron).. Bosh would be in the middle of my list of idea PFs for LeBron of current players. Maybe upper middle, but not near the top.
