Who you got?

I think Reggie is underrating Wilt big time.

Wilt >> Shaq
Bill > KG

You might want to note that the Q was in a 2vs2. Some people might confuse it for starting a team or something

gimme KG and Shaq. I'd trust KG at point more than wilt, and I'd trust shaq to get deep position on russell. You can't block a 360lb dunk

2v2 I'd take KG and Shaq.

I'd still take Wilt and Bill. Just switch their roles. Even though KG and Shaq might be better "fits" for 2v2, the huge discrepancy in talent will give it to Wilt and Walton, IMO.

As a side note, these are four big-man excellent passers.

Bill Russell or Bill Walton?

lol... Bill Russell is the true Championship GOAT compared to KG. Don't tell me Reggie was such a moron to say KG and Shaq were better.

Shaq would foul out in 5 minutes if he had to defend Wilt. He was even in foul trouble against Mutombo when we played him in the finals and Mutombo had no offensive game at all.

This isn't even mentioning the problem Shaq would have trying to match Wilt's stamina in a 2 on 2 game. Shaq would be gassed after about 5 minutes while Wilt played an entire season without leaving the game.

the legends. (wilt&bill)

I think the Bill in question was Walton, and I answered it as such. I would imagine it'd be even more lopsided if Bill Russell were Wilt's teammate, despite his perceived offensive weakness.

its Russell

Prime KG and Shaq would win . Prime Shaq would just overpower both Russell and Wilt

KG is probably athletic enough to stay with Wilt.

Shaq would be just too big for either

Wilt was stronger and much more athletic than prime Shaq, who seems like a gazelle next to the current Shaq.
