Shaquille O’Neal has reflected on one of the biggest topics in the NBA right now. It’s not a secret that Anthony Davis and LeBron James are doing great at this moment, something that has led people to imagine hypothetical scenarios. One of those is a 2 vs. 2 game between them and former Lakers Kobe Bryant and O’Neal.
Even though that would be a very interesting game, Shaq has already picked a winner, claiming he and Kobe would beat Bron and AD. During a recent visit to ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, the four-time NBA champion discussed a variety of topics, including the imaginary duel that’s been getting more and more attention by the day.
When asked if he thinks he could beat that pair playing with Kobe, his answer was pretty clear:
“Do I think or do I know?” Shaq said. “I don’t like having these conversations ‘cause of course, they can never be answered, but yes, the answer is yes. Hell yes.
“I mean, ‘cause there’s only one contributing factor. Who gon’ guard me?”
Even though they’ve been dominating at the paint, there is no way LeBron James and Anthony Davis can stop prime Shaq. That is indeed a big factor to decide who would win in a hypothetical game.
Still, we’ll never know which team would have won a 2 vs. 2 game. As for now, we just have to settle with Shaq’s words, which sound very accurate.
