we gotta wait till kobe retires to make this assessment. kareem>shaq, but when kobe retires, he will be in GOAT discussion (magic's already there). so this is a tough one.

I look at it from this view, the 1984 Lakers vs. the 2001 Lakers. I'd pick the 2001 Lakers every single time. Kareem over Shaq, but not by much. The key is that Kobe would own Magic. Magic was not a great defender, but Kobe was lock down. The 84 Lakers do stay in it though, as Kobe allows Magic to pass, which opens Kareem who has the advantage over Shaq. But on the other end Kareem may have an advantage over Shaq but he has to help Magic with Kobe and this opens the big man, or they just let Kobe score. I with Kobe and Shaq over Magic any day of the week, except the 2004 Lakers because I doubt Shaq and Kobe can even be on the same court without hurting each other.

naw


kareem needed to play with two of the three greatest point guards ever to win all his titles.  not that Kareem wasn't a HOFer himself because he was but he couldn't do it alone



Hakeem meanwhile personally shit on Ewing and Shaq in the finals  8)
