Shaq and Kobe vs Lebron and AD

[tlance]

Yup, that’s why I chose him. All he would have to do is tie up the big, nature would take care of the rest.

Dennis Rodman was great at what he did.

But he is 6’7” and gives up 3-4 inches to AD. Do you honestly believe that Rodman would do a better job shutting down AD than AD would shutting down Rodman?

Keep in mind AD is a pretty darn good defender in his own right.

Shaq would be tough because he is too powerful and you can’t really help effectively in a 2 on 2 game. LeBron and AD would have all the physical and skill advantages here.

Kobe and Shaq. The Best duo in NBA history

They aren't even the best Lakers duo, let alone the best duo in history.

Magic/KAJ (5 rings) > Shaq/Kobe (3 rings)

You forgot about Kareem and Magic. They were facing those Bird-Celtic teams in the Finals while the Lakers were facing AI-Sixers, Kidd-Nets, Reggie-Pacers...the difference is night and day.

Now the Lakers did have stiff West competition at the time like the Blazers and those Kings teams were so dangerous but the Spurs weren't the Spurs quite yet - Robinson was past his prime, Duncan was still very young...no Manu or Parker yet. When they got those other HOF's they ended the Lakers dynasty....well then the Shaq and Kobe feud ultimately did.

Oof, yeah I totally slept on Magic and Kareem. That one could go either way

MJ and Pippen dude
