Draymond: "Shaq I could've guarded you in the post in your prime", Shaq: "Wake up, you're dreaming"

Ben Wallace said in reality he's about 6'7" 240 too.
I don't think Draymond would guard Shaq as well as Ben Wallace, but he'd probably defend him at least as well as Vlade Divac and Scot Pollard did. Meaning that he'd still give his team a chance to win, especially cause they'd be killing Shaq with the spacing on the other end and trading 2s for 3s.

Shaq would have gotten dray tossed ..Rodman was a real draw. That shaq and others had some odd affinity for. To not get him removed.
Plus Rodman was more goon goofed out than draymond. As well as having more cerebral savy. Rodman used to get away with most of his antics. Till San Antonio. Then Rodman had sway in Chicago. Till rodman kicked the Chicago sportschannel camera man. Who sold that incident like a champ for a payday. That kinda neutered Rodman moving forward.

Why are yall bringing up Rodman as if draymond can do what he did 
It’s not a lie if you believe it

Along with the Knicks beating the Bulls in the ‘94 Eastern Conference Finals, Rodman did not shut down or contain Shaq in the ‘96 ECF. Those are two of the great SOHH/Coli myths.Why are yall bringing up Rodman as if draymond can do what he did
Just to show it’s not an outlandish statementWhy are yall bringing up Rodman as if draymond can do what he did
If Rodman was only 210 lbs, he had to be the strongest player pound for pound, in the nba.
Dude was holding his own, physically, against Shaq.

Yeah, no fukking way. Too small.
It's tough to get a read on his weight, I'd say he was anywhere from 300-320 when he played the Bulls and Rodman.
Dude was 340 lbs. during the 1999 season, 350 lbs. during the 2000 season and went through some serious strength training at the time.
When it comes to the total team match-up:
We saw what a 6'2 Kyrie did to Klay.
Imagine a 6'6 Kobe.
Not to mention the Lakers were a mean team. Horry and Fox were physical af. Tall guards too: Ron Harper, Brian Shaw, etc.
Warriors had a hard time dealing with that vs the Cavs teams.
If you want to add KD to the Warriors that'd be a little closer, that 73-win team though I'm pretty sure loses the series.

the shaq from those three-peat lakers teams is demolishing golden state. i dont think you can scheme for that version of shaq, except by sending him to the free throw line. he dog-walked rik smits in one of those finals, and double-dog walked mutombo (fresh off a DPOY) in another. i just dont see what GS is doing to stop that version of shaq, and i dont think anyone on those teams was good enough to guard him without a double. too fast, too powerful. bbq chicken.
i do think the KD version of the warriors beats that lakers team though. whatever shaq could do offensively is offset by too much firepower from too many positions throughout their lineup.
