quote:

Shaq would foul out in 10 minutes against Walton and Kareem, and while he was in there they could intentionally foul him and put him on the line. He wouldn't get the star calls against Kareem and Walton and they have 100X more skills. A young Kareem and Walton would eat Shaq alive.



A lot would depend on the officiating ill give you that. But Walton and Kareem never faced anyone remotely like Shaq. On the other hand, Shaq did face someone like them in Hakeem. And although Hakeem outplayed him slightly Shaq got his too. And really all Shaq would have to do is not get dominated and let Jackson and Maravich do their thing.

I don't even know how this is debatable. This has been discussed ad nauseum on here, but LSU's starting 5 is arguably the best all-time nationally, just not in the SEC.

In terms of depth, Kentucky could go 50 deep on LSU, but you don't play 50 players. LSU's next 5 would be littered with SEC POY winners, i.e. the best player in the SEC for a year - on the bench. In the 2000s alone Glen David, Brandon Bass, Stromile Swift, and Marcus Thornton were all the best player in the conference one year. And they are all on the bench.
