Shaq was a damn monster in the playoffs for that le run and even in 2004 against Detroit he came through, he as unstoppable in his prime. Those finals numbers he had for the three peat were insane.
Well, that's not saying much. The '01 Spurs had one of the worst rosters of all time outside of Duncan, who was just a year removed from knee surgery.
But yes, '01 Shaq > '16 Curry.

Initiated by Kobe in Portland '00.
Can't give your boy all the credit for those playoffs stats Cub, give the Daddy some love man.... Without him they are three short.
Not even "kind of" true. A meniscus tear isnt in the same ball park as a microfracture.
When did your Suns ever accomplish anything?
The supporting cast on the '01 Spurs were so sorry that Fisher made more 3s than the ENTIRE Spurs squad.(He would have been the 2nd best player on the Spurs)
In Gm 2, Tim also dropped 40(15-26)/15/6 in Gm 2 Vs. Snacks 19(8-21)/14/1 & the Spurs still lost the game.The last time Shaq got outplayed that badly was Gm 1 of the '99 WCF & the next time Shaq got outplayed as badly as Gm 2 of the 2001 WCF was Gm 2 of the 2002 WCSF.
Basically, the only big man to dominate 1999-2003 Shaq (aka PEAK Snack) in a game was Tim & he actually outplayed him for the entirety of the ''99 WCF/'02 WCSF /'03 WCSF series.
You're right, they are totally different aliments & not all microfracture/meniscus tears are the same. In any case, that was only relevant for Tim missing the 2000 postseason when the Spurs lost to the Suns in the 1st rd w/ soft ass Admiral shooting 39%.
The Spurs got swept in 2001 b/c of the sorry ass supporting cast who couldn't even hold a candle to the great Derek Fisher especially after Derek Anderson got injured.
Previous post edited. My point still stands.
That's right, be an asshole. You never know when to quit, bum. You always do this.
Ummm...no, it doesnt. Since Duncan wasnt recovering from a micro-fracture as you stated (simply a meniscus tear an entire year before), the Spurs really have no excuse for getting swept.
That point still stands.
Curry has never dominated the playoffs. When exactly has he done this?
Pretty amazing to watch Duncan's great defense against Shaq in this video.The supporting cast on the '01 Spurs were so sorry that Fisher made more 3s than the ENTIRE Spurs squad.
In Gm 2, Tim also dropped 40(15-26)/15/6 in Gm 2 Vs. Snacks 19(8-21)/14/1 & the Spurs still lost the game.

3-2 Spurs
LOL...if that was one of the worst rosters (2001 Spurs) and they swept their way to the conference finals, then what does that say about the NBA at that time? How is today's NBA any different?
Not much different in that regard. The NBA has always been predictable, with 2-3 true contenders every year and everyone else with no real chance to win the whole thing.
Did Shaq ever have a 4-15, 11 point game in the finals?
