With the same team/circumstances this season and win a championship?
Jordan, Shaq, KAJ, Magic, and Duncan. IMO that's it.

Not too many. That's why he's one of the best ever. It's not rocket science.

Only Legit top 10 perimeter players. Jordan, Bird, Magic. That's pretty much it. Can't put Duncan, Hakeem, etc, because we're talking about replacing Lebron, and he's a perimeter player.

Jordan
Hakeem
Shaq
That's about it. None can replicate what he's doing in this Finals though, except maybe Jordan and Hakeem.

Peak MJ and Shaq for sure. I don't see how you can argue against those two. Originally Posted by ISHGoat

Shaq and mj never showed the ability to carry shitty teams deep in the playoffs let alone be 2 wins away in the finals vs a stacked opponent Originally Posted by Ca$H

Re: How many players in their prime could replace Bran?
I'm thinking only Jordan and Magic actually. There aren't any other play makers on the team.

Shaq has never done anything without a dominant perimeter player next to him. You think he's gonna beat these Warriors surrounded by the wing talent of Matthew Dellavedova, Imam Shumpert, and JR Smith? Originally Posted by Ca$H

2000 Shaq was so dominant though. Plus the Warriors are choking. Originally Posted by Doranku
