Id want Lebron, but its close. I just feel he makes everyone better.

It took him a while to get his ring, but he played with shite teammates, won 60 games yearly, and took them to the Conf Finals & NBA finals. And he was like 22.

I get that.

Like I said, it depends on what you value on the court. If I'm a coach, I want second chance points (so, rebounds) and a player that shoots a high percentage shot. By definition, that is almost always the Center Position.

Shaq did what he wanted. There was no discussion.

Give me Shaq in his prime, and I'm winning championships with Sebastian Telfair as PG.

I'm sure these numbers can be parsed down, but LeBron has put up better single season PER numbers than Shaq -- LeBron's best three seasons are better than Shaq's best season. No doubt the rule changes, changes in the pace of game and Shaq's atrocious FT shooting factor in, but it's something to consider for those who'd take Shaq because he's a dominant big man and thus perceived as more efficient.
