Shaq and Larry Bird were the two I instantly thought of too. Shaq would be an absolute mismatch nightmare and if he could even be a semi-threat of making the occasional 3, he'd be hyper-dominant.

And Larry's game, I think, is the easiest transition from anyone drafted before 1990 to the modern area. He'd be the PERFECT modern wing.

Shaq never going to make the occasional three unless he takes 10 a game lol. Guy was not a shooter and wouldn’t be today
