Is taking Olajuwon over Shaq to start a team a bad decision?

KG will translate the best in this era.

Those long 2s that he shot at a good percentage will be threes in today's game.

At his peak, he averaged 5 assists as a big man, better than Hakeem, Duncan, or Shaq. His lateral/perimeter defence is just as good or close to Hakeem's.

KG
If only he played on a better team than Minnesota in his prime

Im taking Prime Dream over KG...hakeem was guarantee to get you 20/10 and he played up in those big games against other legit centers..for all his numbers KG had a habit of playing soft/deferring with the game on the line..

The traditional center (which can’t hit free throws) in today’s game is all but useless

Shaq was THE man in his prime, but you can’t body ANYONE in the paint like he did now. His entire game was physicality once he touched the ball

Shaq would be the best player in the nba in this era imo. Surround him with shooters like Orlando did Dwight. Championships bwould follow. It’s not one single person that can even slow him down in 2018.

It would be a whole lot of barbecue chicken on that block.

No one has and probably ever will out physical Shaq, but again refs won’t let anyone bang in the paint whatsoever these days.

there is no right or wrong answer brehs. both would dominate this league. hakeem would just toy with nikkas down low. shaq would bulldoze anything in front of him. both are match up nightmare because there's no answer to counter their skill sets.
