Lakers: Shaq would’ve been stuck on the bench in :lol today’s NBA

[daslicer]

shaq is probably the rarest human specimen in our recorded history, to be that big and that fluid, with that weight

Him and Barkley are the only two players I have ever seen that could still play at a high level even when they were overweight.

son young shaq would play volleyball inside with the entire warriors team, he wouldn't even need to think about passing the ing ball. it'd be layup/foul/and1 and 1 orpg per possession.

also lol of glass like curry constantly pnr-ing shaq .. any bump and this is hospitalized.

also any shaq would absolutely tire the other team the out, because defending and being defended by somebody physical and twice your weight is hard as (physical contact, bumps, collisions, boxing out, fighting for position, screens, etc) , so good luck running and shooting jumpers while getting battered by shaq. that would be a horrible shooting series for whoever is playing those offensive pnrs.

love is an undersized no vertical slow footed defensive liability .. the does he deserve, a medal for trying? shaq got defensive teams in an era of ELITE defensive Cs and you're talking about kevin ing love who can't post up stickman durant and who can't even defend nigball players in today's nba.

just ing lol at all your post don't you think there were good coaches back then? good shooting teams? that the best they could come up with was hack-a-shaq? that they didn't try other things? why do you think every roster was stacked with bigs? maybe to not get your better front court players foul out in 10 minutes? do you even think before posting this tbh?

also lol not even understanding the rule changes which would let a young shaq roam the paint freely. I didn't even talk about that.

bonus: everybody would love a corny idiot like shaq so he'd be even more popular then back then, so good luck with getting calls on him. he'd be like defensive lebron, only whistled for technicals.

the corpse of dwight ing howard dropped 30 points and a double digit win on these gots with the bottom of the barrel net team and you're telling me about how pnr would make shaq human ... honestly you should just stop watching and stick to beisball tbh.

Nobody said shaq can’t score. Shaq just can’t be on the floor because the other team would exploit him on defense and shoot wide open threes all game long. So what he roams the paint? People will shoot threes. The ironic thing is that shaq made all d during his laker days. He couldn’t cut it earlier because there were greats. His compe ion was mourning and no one else.

Stackhouse once scored 57 points in a game back in the day, mighty mouse once scored 54, does that mean any random guard in today’s game will average 90 back in the day? Does that mean curry will eric the league back then? What’s the point of bringing up one single 30 point game from Dwight.

And lol about those fouls. The entire point is today’s nba fairy rules. Shaq would’ve been offensive fouled out by the 3 minute mark of the second quarter because he’s too mean.

people are underestimating shaq and who he was in his prime. warriors would be crying game 2 because they know they'd lose the series vs big diesel.
