Embiid is averaging 30 this season and Shaq was way more talented. Add in the fact that there is a lack of defensive bigs. You mention Jokic as if he isn't atrocious on defenseRelax.![]()

BucketsThere’s bigs that could guard him on a possession basis.
It’s not gonna be an automatic bucket with nikkas like Bam or AD switched out.![]()
He’s not “way” more talented. Embiid is more skilled than Shaq and is a generational big himself.Embiid is averaging 30 this season and Shaq was way more talented. Add in the fact that there is a lack of defensive bigs. You mention Jokic as if he isn't atrocious on defense. Shaq would dunk on him every time down the court.
Pistons in ‘04 Finals tooStockton and Malone pick and rolled that nikka to death in the 97 and 98 playoffs![]()
No one said that but this is the Coli where nikkas only go off extremesShaq couldn’t play in this era
But if you're going to drop a player into this era you have to assume they were developed in this era, too...when Shaq came up, pick & roll wasn't used to death like it is now, so you'd imagine a modern Shaq would be steered towards defending it more. His defensive deficiencies would manifest in other areas, and considering he was always regarded as a below average defender for all but one full-season...it's kinda moot.No one said that but this is the Coli where nikkas only go off extremes
If you all are going to talk about his paint dominance and how it would translate today talk about how the game today exploits one of his biggest weakness P&R defense
