2000 Shaq comes here in a time machine and he’s coming to kill you. You can’t use a gun or a knife but you can pick one current player to protect you. Who are you picking?
Your framing of this situation is amazing.
Honestly I’d just pick Herb Jones because he’d be a cool person to spend my final moments with. Because if 2000 Shaq wanted to kill you then you’d be dead.
I would send Steph or Klay just so Donkey would go protect them and he would finally get completely flattened
I’d time machine Terry Cummings.
his clone :-) if time machines exist then also clones exist :-P
Gotta go with Steven Adams, I don’t think there’s many other modern day players who could even come close to matching shaqs strength
Nurkic
Nurk’s dad maybe.
I’m taking Steven Adams
In his wheelchair?
beef stew
This was my top choice. I don’t know that he would win, but he wouldn’t quit.
Boban? He’s at least not gonna get completely destroyed by size and he almost killed John Wick.
Draymond Green has the best nut kick in the league
This comment made me realize that between his size, agility, mic presence, and general personality, Draymond could probably be a great WWE heel.
Him and Dillon Brooks basically already are NBA heels
Nate Robinson.
Y’all never heard of David vs Goliath?
Nate got flatlined by Jake Paul. Prime Shaq would break him in half.
Raymond felton. Because he’d eat his opponent.
Draymond Green has shown he has a mean sucker punch. Considering 99% of the fights we’ve seen of NBA players throwing punches look terrible, including Shaq, I think Draymond actually has some experience hitting a bag.
His punch on Poole was vicious, fast and came out of nowhere.
Draymond Green
6-6, 230lb (198cm, 104kg)
Shaq
7-1, 325lb (216cm, 147kg)
Shaq does have a big reach and weight advantage. Draymond has him beaten on speed.
If it was MMA or no rules, Shaq could just flatten him, GnP. If it was boxing rules I could see Draymond putting up a fight and steal a KO ala Mike Tyson.
Thats a mosquito bite on Shaq
Well, I do think there is some diminishing returns on knockout power. Once you’re a heavyweight people are going to get knocked out no matter what.
I don’t think Shaq could take a punch from Draymond any more than Draymond could take a punch from Shaq. If either connects they’re getting KOd. Draymond does look like he can handle himself in a fight in contrast to 99% of NBA players who look like they’re on ice-skates everytime they start throwing punches.
With that said, I’m not saying I’d favour Draymond, especially if Shaq is allowed to wrestle him to the ground and smash.
Ja
I mean Charles Barkley did a pretty good job. So probably Zion big ass
I was going to say… give Zion a year of training and I’d give him a chance. But prime Shaq is still prime Shaq.
