But he does...

Look no further than 2011 ECF when he checked prime, athletic, pre-injury DRose in the 4th quarters of games.

Not only did he lock down DRose, but nobody on the Bulls could turn around and stop LeBron.

KD couldn't stop him in the 2012 Finals.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
It's harder to play smaller guys in the post sometimes. With them being smaller than you it changes the center of gravity and their base is lower so they're harder to move back.

Let's not act like Shaq got shut down tho :usure:
Against Olajuwon in the 95 NBA Finals Shaq averaged 28ppg, 12.5rpg, 6.3apg, 2.5bpg and shot 59.5%FG
1996 ECF Shaq averaged 27ppg, 10.8rpg, 4apg, and shot 64%FG
