Shaq was one of a kind. So I agree..he would just bulldoze over them in a situation like that.
2 on 2 match up absolutely. Shaq in his prime 7'1 350 lbs against a 2 guard & SF. Yes they would win.
The better answer is None of those kobe/shaq lead championship laker teams could beat ANY of michael's bull championship teams. Especially those last 3 peat bull teams. Lakers would may win a game if they're lucky. Ron Harper, Rodman, BJ armstrong, paxson, kerr, Longley got a lot flack but is he was a decent center. The refs screwed the kings & the lakers barely got past the blazers that one year plus kobe & shaq got dominated by the pistons... Never saw the bulls lose in the finals or get dominated by anyone....

Nah, Kobe would have been too concerned with out playing MJ and would have lost it for them![]()

Why 'cause they're debating? Most people on here are trolling anyway. Not every Kobe thread has to be full of dikk riding.jordan stans are clowns
jus stop![]()

And he's absolutely right. It's just funny to once again see more shifting. 10 years ago during the heyday of the
vs.
debates cats used to actually try to throw Pippen out there as somehow comparable to Shaq. Over the years I have heard cats say things like "Kobe didn't have the luxury of having a Pippen. He had to facilitate AND score." as if having the modern day Wilt didn't more than make up for that or my favorite "Kobe had to sacrifice his game for Shaq" as if he still didn't outshoot him and the benefits didn't far outweigh the costs. Now that we are talking about two on two suddenly we recognize that Shaq shyts all over Pippen.
Jordan and Pippen really have no shot unless, as others have mentioned, Kobe goes 04 Finals.
