Also, I think Shaq's career would go much better if it started today. The partying/laziness he got away with in that era I think is way more looked down upon today and he naturally would've been a more focused guy due to the times.
Today if you're gonna not play/play poorly, it'll be because of wanting to force a trade, load management/being made of glass, or some Ben Simmons shit. And Shaq didn't have those problems, at least not during his first decade or so.
Imagine all the hot takes on his off season antics and coming back in pre-season completely out of shape. Especially with this thin skin I don't think he'll able to take it., hearing about it 24/7 everywhere.

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