Shaq was already more accomplished than Bill Walton at this point. This is not the same as Shaq critiquing Donovan Mitchell.
The point is that you can't compare Bill Walton critiquing Shaq to Shaq critiquing Mitchell. It's not about whether Shaq was right to critique Mitchell, but Bill Walton is not as accomplished as Shaq. It would be like Tim Legler critiquing Mitchell.Mitchell is only 24 and has already shattered his expectations coming out of Louisville. Shaq's comments are premature.
Yeah he totally would’ve won those titles without Kobe and Phil. They were just along for the ride.
back to the stats![]()
nikkas talking out both sides of they both now
Young Shaq gave all of the great centers of the 90s that work too, chill.
Basically every generation hates the other is what I keep seeing on thecoli

There's nothing revisionist in saying that Shaq was a loser that kept getting swept until Phil and Kobe came upThis is hilarious.
First championship:
Shaq: 38ppg 16rebs on 61% fg
Kobe: 15.6ppg 4.6 reb on 36% fg
“Kobe and phil carried Shaq”
The repeat:
Shaq: 33ppg 15 Rebs on 57% fg
Kobe: 24ppg 7 reb on 41% fg
3peat:
Shaq: 36ppg 12 rebs 59.5% fg
Kobe: 26ppg 5 reb 42% fg
“carried”
“Kobe carried shaq”
3 peat averages
Shaq: 35.6ppg 14reb 59% fg
Kobe: 21.8ppg 5.5 reb 42%fg
lol the first player in league history to carry a team while scoring less, rebounding less, and clanking 42% over the dynasty
Incredible revisionist history, I’d say it’s drug induced
Edit for good measure vs pistons:
Shaq 26 and 10 on 63%
Kobe: 22ppg and 2 reb on 38% fg

Let's be honest. Shaq would have his hands full with a 1977 Bill Walton
The same Walton that beat a Prime Julius Erving in the Finals
"Shaq is an insult to people who think"![]()
