Shaq in this era :mjlol:

So we just gonna forget and ignore he more then held his own against the greatest center of time and greatest defender of all time.

He averaged 28,13, 7, 3 while shooting almost 60%.

But I’m supposed to believe jokic could hold him to the same 30pts.

Shaq played against Kareem?

 

[ManBearPig]

Shaq is kinda a question mark due to his defensive skepticism but imagine Dream or David Robinson playing in today's league

 

[R=G]

Shaq would average 50...that clip don't mean shyt. Absolutely absurd.

 

[R=G]

Shaq ain't getting 40 points or 40 minutes in todays NBA.

Hahahaha!!!

 

[R=G]

It sounds like people don’t understand.

Shaq today would have to expend a lot more energy defensively than he ever did in his prime. That would take some of the gas out of him offensively.
Could Shaq get his on the offensive side? Absolutely.

Just understand that when Shaq goes down and baby sky hooks his opponent for 2 pts, the other team is going to pick & roll him to death....and not just for 2 pts in return. Guys will step back and hit 3s. And while you guys jump and rave about Shaq’s 35 points or whatever...his teams are gonna give up 120 every night. Hell, with the agility bigs have away from the basket now, I wouldn’t be surprised if Shaq was a foul-out waiting to happen.

Shaq is an all time great. In his era. He’d have to play a different style in 2020. I don’t understand why this board refuses to understand this.

The best sharpshooter in 1850 might have been the most accurate man in history. But that dude with a revolver in 2020 vs guys with AR-15s is dead meat.

Lmao!!!! Shaq was so dominant they changed the rules of professional basketball..you sound absolutely insane. Lol. Its rather like, what you see with everyone else would be different.

Jojo is one of the most productive players in NBA history. His problem is injuries keeping him off the court and the nature of today’s game doesn’t allow for him to play big minutes.

This season he’s putting up 30/11/3 on 52/38/86 splits with elite defense in just 32 minutes. This is up there with any Shaq season in production.

This one is crazy...

Hahahahahaha...the internet is a wild place. Guess Jordan would be half the player he was today as well. Lol. The reason the NBA is what it is today is because it don't have a 1995 Shaq on the roster. Brought up this goofball and loser to maybe the biggest difference maker in basketball history

Shaq got swept out the playoffs 6 times in his career.

Yeah, he got rings but also played alongside All-Time perimeter players. He also “team hopped” throughout his career and probably played with more talent than anyone in NBA history.

He possibly left rings on the table with his weight, feuding, and general immaturity, was a huge clown and still is.

Look at you though calling JoJo a goofball and loser where as of Shaq was in the league today you nikkas would probably be saying the same things about him. When Shaq was JoJo’s age he was ringless on the Lakers in the lockout season.

Nobody even talked about Jordan or said Shaq would be “half the player” he was. The thread is about how one of Shaq’s biggest weakness is a staple of the game and how that could hurt him today as far as team impact and ability to win championships today. But y’all so damn simple minded.

Yeah...against top 50 player led teams and mostly because those teams he was on couldn't match his play. He kicked Michael Jordan out the playoffs. If your gimmick is to paint Shaq as overrated, you must be constantly under the influence. Kevin Durant is gonna win 2 titles in this era but Shaq is a nothing? I mean..thats an absolutely insane take.

fukk those all time perimeter players? Those guys were lovers elsewhere. They were apart of a Shaq led team which us why they got as far as they did.

Shaq wouldnt be a goofball..he would be at 50pts a game.

How? By the time he was fat (2003?) He was already 33.

Most centers usually don't age that well. Its just Kareem.
Hakeem didn't do much after 95

Russel was done quickly

Wilt got washed early

Bill Walton, David Robinson, etc. Dealt with major injuries.

Zion gets cooked on defense in space and is currently a below average defender.

But he's averaging 26 on insane efficiency at the rim at half a foot shooter and a foot less of reach


Go to sleep nikka

So because Zion averages 26 (a generational talent) that means what?

That an atg like shaq would feast and feast much better

 

[Killer Instinct]

Terrible thread.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

What a dumb video

Shaq would EAT downlow with all of the soft bigs and less defense in general that exist today

He would eat but he would also get cooked....Rik Smits and Sabonis used to give shaq fits with their ability to play stretch 5
