It's close but he was the main guy for 3 titles to a degree....Parker was a big piece of that. Duncan was never better than prime Shaq though. Shaq absolutely killed everyone in the Finals..Duncan got slapped by Shaq the majority of his career.
LOL@going to the 2003 shyt yet refusing to show the times Shaq murdered that guy and his whole damn team during 3 routes to titles that nobody could do a damn thing about. Not Nowitski....not Duncan...not Garnett...not McGrady...none of them.
You can put Duncan with Kobe...that's fine but Shaq without a Jordan team around is still gonna be a multiple time champion because he just can't be stopped for the duration. If you would of put Iverson with Shaq, he would of won. McGrady? Same thing. Any of those sidekicks would of had easier careers under the Shaq umbrella.
I'm sorry, but you're just demonstrating a rudimentary understanding of basketball and willful ignorance towards history. Shaq could not interchangeably win with anyone. He won with Kobe and Wade. The clear second and 3rd or 4th best SGs in the history of basketball. Both of which were top 5 players at the time. Shaq does not win a title with that 2003 Spurs team. If you flip positions and give Duncan...KOBE BRYANT, they would've swept that Spurs team in anchored by Shaq.
This is what annoys people with you, you're a Shaq stan, but you're not even educated about basketball or history. Tracy McGrady has NEVER EVER been what Kobe Bryant was in the 2001 playoffs. He's never done anything to make you believe that he and Shaq would win anything. High volume AI and Shaq? That would be a great defensive combo...
Stop it. You watched Shaq dominate Rick Smits, Todd McCoullough and old @ss Dikembe in the finals and you got things twisted. Shaq is a legend, but Duncan was always the better all around player.
