My guess is Shaquille Olajuwon will probably seem obvious to a lot of people, but the varied offensive abilities of Nikola Emiid make it close, imo. Better passing and can stretch a defense more. They are having two all-time great seasons and complement one another.

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I think the older duo complement each other’s weakness much better.

Hakeem has elite mobility in the p&r and a more than functional jumper.

Shaq is a strong passer to better take advantage of the double teams and has the power and raw aggression to consistently create high percentage looks at the rim.
