In their primes which would you rather have if you wanted to win a ring?

You still have to fill out your roster with other players.

That's a damn good one. I'm a Shaq fan, so I really want to go with he and Kobe. But Wade, Bosh, and Bron could be scary good. But in the end, I'll put my stock in the proven commodity with Shaq and Kobe. Those are 2 of the best ever in their primes!

Currently, I will take Shaq and Kobe. Proven. I might change my tune after watching a FULL SEASON of the Bosh/Wade/Lebron combo.

Snaq and the GOAT

But there is no selection for Shaq and Jordan in the OP.

God, in the last year of their 3-peat, when Shaq was averaging 27/10.7/2 and Kobe was averaging 25/5.5/5.5...that was pretty sick.

That's tough, since we haven't seen Wade/Lebron/Bosh in action. Very tough. I really can't say.

Can I have LeBron/Shaq??

To win a championship??

Easy, Ill take a dominant big man and Kobe is icing on the cake...

Shaq and Kobe. Shaq was so friggin good back then, stick him with any wing player that plays at an All-Star level and he wins championships.

Your opinion is correct but I hate when people make (Please Use More Appropriate Word) comments like the one you just made..You have never seen prime Shaq play. Do people just forget how Hakeem abused him while he was in Orlando and that he didn't wing a ring until Phil became the coach/bryant started to develop.

AGREED Snaq was a liability down the stretch, he never closed out games due to Hack a Snaq/foul trouble or fouling out.

The only thing "(Please Use More Appropriate Word)" is you suggesting that he's never seen "prime" Shaq play. He's talking about Shaq in 99-02, when he was playing with Kobe, and you're bringing up a playoff series from the 94-95 season.

So basically, not only were you way off, but you were a huge dick about it too.

I gotta go with with Wade/LeBron/Bosh since they will get you 7 championships and make it look easy.

That guy comes into every thread and calls everyone "teen" or tells them they haven't saw someone play.

Someone is either really old and bitter, or really young and insecure.

The only dick around here is you for calling me one. He stated that shaq was so awesome back then but he tends to forget that shaq did not start winning until he joined up with phil. What would you know, league pass did not exist in 99-02, so how can you determine how well shaq played. Let me guess you made your assumption through watching a few season games..

On the other hand, even though I am a Mavs fan, I was transferred to LA in 84 and lived there until 07 and I was able to watch the lakers first hand. Your speaking on what you hear and seen on youtube. Just stop it, I already know your agenda..

How can you say that you have seen shaq or kobe play through their prime when clearly you haven't except for the few times they were shown on abc...That is comical to me...

Man, you throw around insults like they're nothing, but get your panties all in a bunch when someone throws one right back at you.

Aggressive, uninformed, and thin-skinned. What a combo!

I also have to laugh at the idea that going to the Finals doesn't count as "winning" to you.

I also have to laugh at the fact that Miami was irrelevant in the NBA up until you got lebron...

Do you truly believe that the heat deserved that title in 06?
