Why didn't teams get a monster like this guy to teach Shaq a lesson back in 2000-2003

Why did you bump this? Anyways, they did. The Portland Trail Blazers got him, his name was Arvydas Sabonis. But he was past his prime.

seriously. He'd be left behind in transition every time. Shaq would just jog down the court for a free bucket or easy deep post position every play.

Probably because this:

Yeah, and between the two only Shaq is actually capable of jogging, running, and footwork. The other guy in the ring always looked/s like he's gonna fall over just standing still, no balance at all and can't even bend his knees not sure how he'd be expected to play a sport like basketball with that kind of mobility

what a retarded thread. that stiff would be a liability on the court in every way. I dont think people truly appreciate how athletic shaq was for his size, even after he gained some weight

Long explanation short:


1) the big guy would foul out in 5 minutes

2) Kobe would use screen rolls with Shaq and abuse the hell out of someone who has no basketball IQ.

3) The guy is obviously on performance enhancing drugs and would not be allowed to play

Why is LeBron still playing then?
