how many championships do lebron's heat and shaq's lakers win in the 90s?

[mehyaM24]

the 80s had powerhouses e.g. the celtics, lakers and sixers, while the 90s just had the bulls, so what if...

we transplanted shaq's lakers, how many chips do they win in the 90s?
we transplanted lebron's heat, how many chips do they win in the 90s?

imo, the lakers win 3, while the heat win at least 2. thoughts?

I think Heat win 1 and the Lakers win maybe 2 or 3

Bulls vs Lakers would be a great matchup

[Beastmode88]

Which team does MJ get? 91-93 or 96-98?

[ImKobe]

If you replace the 90-91 Lakers with 01 Lakers, they win the title.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Between the two? 5 rings. '01 and '02 LA win 2-3 rings for sure, where Bron's Heat best chance at one is w/ the '12 and '13 squads. I assume the Rockets win at least one themselves.

All in all, Bulls win 3-4.

LeBron would go 6/6 in the 90's

[mehyaM24]

ya, the consensus seems multiple rings. would have been crazy to witness lebron and wade handcheck out on the perimeter.

GOAT defensive backcourt right there.

In 1998, Shaq was in his 6th season and in his prime... and he had already been to the Finals once.

His 1998 Lakers had 4 all-stars - himself, Eddie Jones, Van Exel, and Kobe, to go along with Elden Campbell, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, and Derek Fisher.

This team got swept in embarrassing fashion by the Utah Jazz in WCF, who had also just defeated Popovich's 56-win Duncan/Robinson Spurs in 5 games in the WCSF.

So we saw Shaq in the 90's... 1998 when he was in his prime and his team had the best talent in the league - and he got swept by the Jazz.

shaq, aka mde, was in his peak from 00-02 with a better team, coach, and second option.

peak lebron (greatest all-around player in history) and wade with the ability to handcheck would be murder on the defensive end. you combine that with no zone, lack of double teams, and pure iso. damn. i shutter to think what they could have done.

You posts way to much for a guy who just copy pasted some posts from another forum. Can you please posts or cite the source??

Shaq was in his prime of his career in 1998, but Kobe was still in his Rookie Season. The lakers actually became a much better team after they traded Jones and Van Excel, and hired Jackson as a Coach in the 1999 NBA off Season.

[deja vu]

Absolutely, as Jordan's sidekick.

A lot of players are better than Penny.

You said Shaq's Lakers, like Kobe didn't lead the Playoffs in Winshares in 2001 and had the same WS/48 as the number one option

you dissed him by calling him a "second option", and in the same post you talked about Lebron like a god

Shaq's Lakers weren't as talented Shaq's Magic and that Magic team couldn't beat the Bulls at full strength. The Heat lost to the Mavericks and a team anchored by the Ghost of Tim Duncan in the finals. Took a miracle from Jesus himself to get one off the Spurs. They weren't exactly world beaters. Bulls run them out of the gym.
