Brian grant had parkinson at the time. In rapid decline from the collegiate beast. Grant was drafted and projected to be.
Which is wild to think about. When thinking back.
on grant guarding shaq.

Realistically.
Wilt
Cap
Are the only real answers head up in a civil fair world.
Yet if we had a time machine. To go back to red era and bird era boston.
The boston race dynamic would change everything. Where :
russell
Mchale
chief
bird
Russell and thr kc jones frontcpurt by committee and bench would have had the clear distinct advantage.
that shaq never had the experience on court.
in boston against blue blood region boston. To showcase the player discipline. Play to play.
it took to beat the celtics.
In the red russell era.
Nor rhe bird era.
Sohh the refs in boston would have gave shaq three quick fouls. in rhe first four to eight minutes of play in the first quarter. Plus a tech for making any face or gesture. Or the pre-req boston tech.
for being black and not even complaining.
just cause shaq was black.
on a team coming into the garden.
Sohh not sure.
if shaq on the first go round.
Would have had the number one seed and home court advantage. To weather the storm and hopefully close out in seven.
In the second go round To the finals.
Maybe after it was hammered home. To bottle your emotions. Plus move to the next point.
Would shaq have been able to beat russell.
Yet if shaq did not have home court advantage against the celtics.
Boston would have beat shaq with rusell. Plus the kc jones coached tia mat triple headed hydra frontcourt of :
Mchale
Chief
Bird
Plus their rogues hallery of past greats and maxiel. Would have beat shaq the first go round out the time machine. Off racism being prevalent to aid boston.
Maybe after shaq lost and was demoralized. To gain composure and move to the next point.
Then i could see shaq bodying the celts. Yet on the first go round out the time machine versus red era or kc jones ers boston. Shaq is taking the systemic L.
As shaq never had to play with that level of on court discipline. To enable how you win in boston for those two era's.
When the game was rigged for boston systemically by red.

The only thing is 99-03 Shaq wasn't as quick as when the other great Cs had to deal with him. This version of Shaq, I'd say Wilt & Moses.
Every version of Shaq, stopping (slowing him) was all about using your strength to keep him off his spots as much as possible. Then you'd jump with him to contest. Malik Rose, Brian Grant, Zo...even Ben Wallace, Rodman or Lorenzen Wright would use their strength, but they were too short. Big bodies like Daugherty, Big Country, Laimbeer, Sabonis, Yao, Cato just weren't quick enough to keep up with the counters or good enough defenders in other cases.
Admiral would face guard him or try to front him for some weird reason, then contest on the recovery. Patrick prob had the best games against him, and would keep him off the blocks as much as possible and contest everything. Dream wasn't as strong as those 2, but kept active hands and quick feet to cut off the angles. None of them were stopping him completely. But I think they'd all have better chances against this version of Shaq. They were guarding younger, quicker, agile Shaq to varying degrees of success with slowing him down.
Shaq is going right through Cap, Bill Russell & Chief, Sampson. But Wilt and Moses had the strength, the quickness, the athletic ability to probably clamp him down consistently enough more than any other C.

Nobody was guarding Shaq at his absolute prime. As big and strong as Shaq was, he had quick feet and had great footwork. If he took his fitness seriously, he could have won as many or more rings than MJ and could have dethroned him. Imagine how much more insufferable he would be if he became GOAT? We got lucky

Wilt Chamberlain easily. Moses too probably,

Good point. Championship Dream is one of my GOATs but Shaq got his. He actually had better stats except for points, steals and FT%.
