Who can be prime Shaq in 1v1 pickup?

Nice pic of Wilt vs the competition during his 100 point game

lol that's what wilt basically did

Woah good stuff. I believe there was someone else (a Globetrotter?) who could perform a dunk while standing, but it doesn't even look like Wadlow has to try.

Just imagine if he lived in modern times, I sincerely believe modern science would have at least allowed him to be reasonably mobile and somewhat healthy rather than relegated to ankle braces and foot circulation problems.


But seriously... Look at how large that man's bicep is. He was much, much bigger and likely stronger (absolute, not relative strength) than Shaq (or Wilt). I don't think there's an argument to be made on the contrary, and unlike some other giants his musculature and skeleton was said to be proportional.

I have Lebron James, Goran Dragic, Kevin Durant and Michael Jordan beating Shaq in a 1v1.

Lebron James.

Some Euroleague level dementia here.

Yao Ming and Wilt Chamberlain are the only humans in the history of basketball who could legitimately stop him from backing down to the restricted area and make him miss a shot, get a defensive rebound and along with that be able to score on him.

No other humans in the history basketball could:
1. Even get close to matching his strength on the lowblock.

2. Contest his shot enough to make him miss.


3. Get a defensive rebound

4. And be able to score a basket on him

Other than Yao and Wilt. NOBODY else has a remote shot.

Are you stupid or just ignorant? Shaq is so much stronger than LeBron it's a joke. And Shaq is a much more deadly Halfcourt athlete than LeBron. One on one, Shaq would abuse LeBron and LeBron wouldn't even get a possession.

1. Speed can only do so much in the half-court setting that 1v1 is.

2. WTF does court vision have to do IN ONE ON ONE? Like I said, are you stupid or just ignorant?

3. Freethrows are not a factor in one on one.

I'm done. Smh.

[DCL]

if the rules were no 3 sec in the key and winner's ball, very few would have a chance on beating shaq 1 on 1. he'd just back that ass in all day until he gets position to dunk. no 3 seconds to save you.

[MichaelCorleone]

Lebron just made my case.

[alleykat]

Serious? probably no one....wilt?

Considering Bran is afraid to go at the rim on Roy Hibbert, I doubt hed attack Shaq.. prolly convince him to play a friendly game of horse or something.
