Shaq/LeBron or Jordan/KG?
Share This:
Since the regular season is winding down and the playoff drama hasn't begun yet, I decided to keep it light today. I saw a topic on a message board, and thought it could make a fun barbershop-style conversation. Simple question: You're a GM and can start your team with either of these groups of two players: Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James, or Michael Jordan and Kevin Garnett. Who are you picking?
In Shaq and LeBron you have (along with Wilt Chamberlain) two of the biggest physical outliers to ever play in the NBA. At their peaks they could just physically overpower everyone, and with two of them on one team there's no way to adjust your defense for both. I'm seeing a lot of dunks, a lot of fouls, and a LOT of wide-open spot up treys for the shooters that you would necessarily surround them with.
