Nothing is ruining anything.

Davion is one of the many defenders in the league that competes at a high level for y’all mfs to come on here and say no one is playing defense just because you can’t understand what’s going on, on the screen. :unimpressed:


Nobody else doing anything on there besides him, that’s embarrassing.

Shaq would most definitely have to get a jumper and be able to guard at least 3s(by 3s I mean small forwards)
You can definitely play shaq off the floor in key moments in todays nba

You know what I take that back, it depends on what team shaq is on, you would have to surround him with all shooters
Shaq had shooters in Orlando and LA

Defensively is were the issues will be

I still remember that highlight of steph making Rudy gobert look like a new born deer on the court in the playoffs the same year he won defensive player of the year
Versus
Kevin love defense on steph in the game 7

The question is what would shaq be

Shaquille would be right there with Jokic and Embiid.

Aww, what's the matter? You mad cause the game isn't what it used to be? You gonna keep crying about it for the rest of your days posting on this board?


I'm on your side, Gil. I'm sick of these fossils, too! You're the last person on this board I'd want to cross or disrespect.

Giannis doesn't have a reliable jumper and he eats in today's NBA. And nobody's playing him off the floor on the defensive end either. Shaq would eat in today's NBA in a 3 point heavy/spacing era.
Giannis and shaq are two different defensive players

I don’t know about right there if he can’t shoot
Shaq would be fine on offense he’d dominate. Zion doesn’t shoot either.

On defense he would be a + rim protector and man-to-man post defenders but would struggle outside the paint. Teams would try to exploit that. A young Shaq in this era takes fitness serious because of the demands of today and relative fitness of other players.
