Replace 00-03 Shaq with 93-96 Olajuwon - Do Lakers win 4 straight

Replace 00-03 Shaq with 93-96 Olajuwon, do Lakers win 4 straight?

Do they beat those Spurs in 03 is the real if. Olajuwon's defense and diverse offense might just do it.

Maybe they win 4. Maybe they win 1. I would guess the expected value would be around 3 but if I had to bet I'd put my money on less than 3 rather than 4.

Father time was already knocking for Hakeem by 96, arguably the first time he got really outplayed by another big man in a series was Kemp that year

No. I think they win 2000-2002, but 96 Hakeem was a good bit worse than 03 Shaq.
