Shaq
D-Wade

I'm surprised to not see Shaq / D-Wade without a single vote givne how dominant Shaq was with the Lakers.

I think it is mostly because Wade hardly had a 5 year prime.

That's true and that's honestly the biggest whole in his career and why IMO although he's the third "Best" SG of all time, he's barely a top 25 player of all time. Just not long enough of a prime.

Pretty easily Duncan and Magic. All 4 of the bigs are pretty comparable, but Magic's clearly the best perimeter player. Duncan might have to run the floor a little more than he's accustomed to, but I'm pretty sure he can manage, especially since we'll be taking the younger version with more stamina and athleticism.
