Notable players Shaq played with
Penny
Kobe***
Wade*
Nash
Lebron
KG
Ray Allen
Paul Pierce



*no. Of titles won

Well he's not gonna win a title without other notable players on his team. Kobe hasn't either

Cause Shaq was clearly the best player in the league

Replace shaq wit Yao or mutombo and the lakers win no rings.

Replace Kobe wit tmac or IA I think the lakers win the same amount

Lakers replaced Shaq with a soft euro and won multiple titles

KOBE WAS CLEARLY THE BETTER PLAYER IN THE MORE COMPETITIVE WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

ONLY PEOPLE TO ARGUE THIS ARE INSECURE BRON GROUPIES

Shaq was washed by Phoniex, Boston, and Cleveland cut that bs out

 

[Shadow King]

Your own list proves that it takes usually 2 HOF-level players to get a title. Just cause people say the 3-peat Lakers was Shaq's team doesn't mean he gets a "pass" for having a fellow HOFer just like every #1 on championship teams.

Shaq was Batman. Kobe was, albeit the most offensively explosive Robin, still Robin.

I will always rank Shaq above Patrick Ewing....but I hate when people think the gap is that phukin great...it isn't....Ewing's best two guard was John Starks....Shaq had the picks of the litter.

Shaq used to destroy Ewing.

We'll never know if the Lakers win by replacing Kobe with AI

yet people always used the put ______ with Shaq and the Lakers still win 3 rings argument against Kobe

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Shaq probably played with more in-peak HOF (or HOF caliber anyway) players than anybody in the modern era...He dead ass played with a tier 1 perimeter player damn near his whole career with penny-kobe-wade-nash*-bron... It's nothing to get a "pass" for... It's moreso that people tend not to play the same games with him as they do with others...Other players should be judged like Shaq, not the other way around

 

[Splakavellie504]

Both sides of this debate have great points
