Which pair would you take for a single season, 2024 SGA/Jokic or 1998 Jordan/Shaq. Assume a rules/ref environment that copies 2024 except with respect to the degree to which physical contact is allowed including hand-checking and harder fouls without flagrant calls. With regard to the level of physical contact allowed, the rules copy 1998. 2024 coaches.

I prefer SGA as a suped-up version of 1998 Jordan. Better from the mid-range, more active defensively and stronger skill-set for getting to the line while being a similar 3P shooter and better playmaker at this stage in their respective careers.

2024 Jokic, if you believe 1998 to be more "physical" and neanderthalian, would lend itself to the big guy dominating.
