Shaq could have easily been considered to GOAT if he had the drive to do so. In a 1v1 game in his prime he would score at will on Kobe or MJ, and force them to take face away long jumpers. |

Shaq would have been the GOAT if he had even 60% of the drive Kobe and MJ had. No one in history can match him physically. One-on-one he wins most of the time against them because he'd make almost every shot by simply backing them down for easy looks in the paint. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Problem with Shaq was he was working on his Krispy Kremes while Kobe was working on his game....If Shaq had Kobe's drive for basketball he could've been the most dominant player ever. |

I know Kobe or Jordan if they started off with the ball could probably win if they hit all their shots. But when Shaq gets the ball, then what? Dude is just gonna back you in all day and dunk on you. |
Shaq would get cocky/goofy try some sort of PG moves (at one point before he got lazy/fat he claimed he could play point) and get the ball stripped. By the time he got serious, it'd be over. Not likely he'd ever take it serious enough to play smart. Kobe / MJ would be out for blood, no goofing off. |
