Jokic's screening, spacing, shooting, and passing would have been infinitely more beneficial for Kobe than Shaq clogging the lane and posting up every possession.
They probably go 16-0.

Poor Kobe, he was slowed down by one of the greatest players in the league history as his teammate...

I don’t know man, they probably go 16-0. Shaq was only able to manage 44-20-5 on that loss

Shaq was a much different player, much harder to defend inside and overall. Jokic wouldn't score as easily against Robinson, he'd have to shoot from the outside and that isn't the most effective for him and any big. Jokic isn't defending Robinson will either. It's much different. His passing isn't adding much either as Shaq attracting defenders on the interior was what opened it for his team.
Jokic would score easily against literally anyone in history.
Cmon this is silly.

I'm not seeing anyone stonewalling him
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

Still easily win the championship. What made the Lakers that great that year was Kobe playing like peak MJ and Fisher shooting like 60% from 3. I can’t see how that changes with the best passing big of all time

Different setting. Spurs had both Robinson and Duncan and the game was slower and less shooters. He has to shoot more than now.
