shaq in the east though would avg 50 remember the teams the lakers beat we talking spurs/blazers/mavs/suns versus boston/chi/atl/wiz the east has been weak since LeBron has been it IMO but especially the last 5 years outside of boston with kg/pierce/allen nobody has had a better team than LeBron by far.
Explain the logic behind placing LEBRON above SHAQ

I'm not putting it all on him, even though he was ass in 2007.
I'm saying if you swapped him and Kevin Durant, these teams would probably be having the same types of success. We'd be talking about Durant making five straight trips to the Finals too because there's no one in the east who can stop him. Nobody is playing the Spurs, Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers, Rockets, Mavs, in consecutive rounds out east.

So your saying that Kyrie is better than PRIME WADE AND PRIME PENNY HARDAWAY????
The length nikkas will go to try to prove a point
If you're going to blame Nick Anderson's free throws, you have to blame Shaq free hrows for damn near every other year. Can't have it both ways.

That's fair. Since we know how Shaq's career panned out after Miami I'm expecting Lebron to move past him in the next couple years. Right now its debatable.
It was an error I was thinking Lakers exclusively.

They count all game. If he'd made them early they'd probably be up 10 with 2 minutes left in the 4th.He makes em when they count
He passed Shaq. Shaq is overrated and basically an underacheiver
He should get a pass for being ass as a 22 year old facing a veteran team like the Spurs at that point.
The current Cavs would be the favorite over all those teams except the Warriors/Spurs and thats minus Love and a one legged Kyrie.
So that's irrelevant.
Although i got Bron ahead of Shaq, in no way did Shaq underachieve. Dominated in one of the best era for big men in the league. Won multiple chips, Mvps, robbed of Mvps, nothing he didnt accomplish

I can hear arguements for both being above the other. For Shaq some say 'well he's big sooooo he should be good" but anyone that remembers (like I know OP does) the 90s and especially the 3peat Lake Show days of Shaq remember that he was an absolute thoroughbred and changed the way defense was played. I remember thinking the '04 Pistons had a zero percent chance of beating the Lakers and even after they did, the Pistons had to load up on 'Shaq stoppers' for the next 3 seasons.
For Bron since he has the ball in his hand more, is more skilled and can play 1-5 so he will get the nod overall from most critics. Shaq is a better winner, more dominant and will likely end up having more rings than Bron as a key player but that's just my .02
