Shaq hypotheticals are pointless. The NBA literally changed the rules. Shaq’s go to move was to drop his shoulder and move folks out of the way. He won’t be able to do that anymore. He struggled even in his later years once that rule was in play.
It is not an accident that small ball type teams are dominating. The league made a conscious decision with a lot of things along the way to ensure that. Shaq growing up in this generation would be a skinnier guy shooting a lot of 3s. Else he would have a tough time making it.
More than the stat line it was about how he did it. He looked like he has been doing this for years. Didn’t seem hurried at all. Contrast with someone like RJ Hampton. Obviously talented but even with NBA experience he seemed hurried and playing out of control.
