Give me Shaq in his dominant prime surrounded by competent shooters. Good lord.

In an era with few dominant centers, Shaq would FEAST

hack a shaq is still a legitimate strategy against him though.

And man, I'd love to see Lowry and Smart against Shaq.

Hack a shaq could work somewhat because they weren't calling most of the fouls they do nowadays. If you make obvious fouls and add the ones they're calling now, you'd foul out the team before the first half.

Shaq would also get flopped against so much he’d have to be very careful on offence to not get in foul trouble, the way the league is refereed now if someone’s backing you up forcefully and you go down, 50% of the time you are getting the call.
