There's not really much thought needed on this one as far as the one that would be hardest to match up against in real life scenario where everything matters including how players would gel together and floor spacing and so forth .
That's Prime Shaq , last year at Orlando
type Shaq
PG - Jordan - 5 points
SG- Harden - 1 point
SF- Pippen- 2 points
PF Greek Freak -3 point
Center - Shaq - 4 points
Floor spacing with Greek Freak and Shaq
would be I possible to guard
Jordan and Pippens familiarity with one another and Champion caliber teamwork
Harden by default as the 1 point option , who happens to be a sharpshooter that hits his freebies
Forget Jordan's tenacity , Pippens smothering defense and wingspan
Hardens sharpshooting....
How the hell do you guard Greek Freak
and prime Shaq on the court at the same time with proper floor spacing ???
Thanks for your break down Fidel. That was well thought out with excellent points as you built your top 5.
Thanks.
Easiest way to think of this would be .
Who's the 2 most unstoppable big men on that list . Like actual beasts in their prime that are an absolute nightmare to guard 1 on 1 .
It's Prime Shaq and Giannis
So you must pair them up. There's no reason to get cute. Keep it simple.
Then you pick the best player of all time in Michael Jordan .
Then you look at the list and say , who would Jordan play the overall best with and it's Pippen .
Hardens the tough choice but looking for a spot sharp shooter for the 1 point option and Harden can fulfill that exact role imo better than the other $1 players.
In case anyone forgot how great prime Shaq was . I mean truly unstoppable he was . Watch the YouTube highlights .
You know what Greek Freak does .
