U boys act like Shaq wasn’t swept a bunch of times and didn’t have a Penny Hardaway, Kobe Bryant and D-Wade.

Jokic would pose a lot of problems for Shaq.

How is it crazy?
One of Shaq’s biggest weaknesses is defending in space. Jokic exploits that with his three point shooting and his passing. Shaq gonna have to guard the P&R, the dribble hand off, the P&P, the transition trailer. And Jokic is 284 lb. that can bang down low+he’s a tough unorthodox shot maker.
Jokic is like a hybrid of Sabonis and Dirk.
Y’all gotta learn how to take these old nikkas off a pedestal they was human.

he has a mind of a pointguard but is also a center. He's virtually unstoppable one on one. Can pass and an efficient scorer
You probably weren't outside but SHAQ was the most offensively dominant big man in the modern day era.. he literally would throw other centers around in the paint.. they came up with the hack a shaq to stop him... ill say jokic can do more offensively.. but 20+ years ago nothing scared teams more then having shaq in the paint with the ball in his hands.. he was a walking bucket

Chris can’t match his shot making and wasn’t the level passer Jokic is. Chris was a very good passer but Jokic is better in that regards and with the game on the line whose hands do you want the ball in?

Facts. Hell Shaq admitted Big Country gave him problem, so why wouldn’t Jokic be able to do work too.Sabonis would give Shaq problems from time to time, so I'm sure Jokic can hold his own

Chris was every bit the passer that Jokic is. More mobile. Equally capable ball handler. And better defensively.Chris can’t match his shot making and wasn’t the level passer Jokic is. Chris was a very good passer but Jokic is better in that regards and with the game on the line whose hands do you want the ball in?

Chris wasn’t an athletic marvel like an Amare or Blake to come. His claim to fame was being a big who could handle & pass in those days. Chris was on King’s teams that emphasized passing so it wasn’t like he was thinking the game through for everyone else. He was great at spotting cutters, back door screens and passing out of doubles. Chris wasn’t seeing things before they happened though and once again anybody who watched back then knew Chris was not built for the big moment
Chris was good, but their is a unique style to Joker that makes him much more effective than Chris ever was

Stop it Jokic is more than capable of giving Shaq that work
