Shaq was traded to Miami and suddenly Shaq + Wade became the league's best duo.

immediately in his first season, Miami became contenders and were a Dwyane Wade freak rib injury away from going to the NBA Finals.

the season after that, Miami wins a ring.


Shaq might not be the same player nowadays, but in 05-07, he was still the anchor to take your teams to NBA Finals.


I find it hard to believe Shaq would not have been able to take the Lakers, coached by Phil Jackson, to the Finals again.
Wouldn't you agree then just based on our dialogue that when it's all said and done your Jordan's, D-Wade's and Kobe's of the world ALL need ANOTHER player to complete them and not just ONE guy is the one and only?

All superstars, I emphasize ALL need somebody to "complete" them.
