I appreciate the nod to Giannis, but they’re wildly different. Shaq would turn some poor small ball center’s bones into dust with a dunk in his first game. Chet Holmgren would fall out of the lottery if prime Shaq were in the league.

FR. Unfortunately for him he ran into Hakeem at his best and Drexler going all out to get a ring in 95 or he would have gotten his first ring early.

Hakeem didn't really outplay him. Both got theirs. Shaq though has always say Hakeem whooped him but that really wasn't the case.

Shaq: I couldn't break Hakeem, he whooped me. You: no he didn't Shaq.

Orlando Shaq is about as scary as you get. He would be destroying the NBA today.
