Yes, quite easily. Shaq played in a weak era.

[NumberSix]

No.

[Kblaze8855]

Shaq handed all time great bigmen defender their asses on a regular basis.

Hes gonna score 25-45 on anyone he feels like. Lebron very much included.

Even though this is a troll thread: Lebron fan here, obviously not. Lebron can guard the 1-3 with ease when he tries(does really well against pgs like Tp or Rose), some 4s when he wants to, and only the softer 5s for segments such as pau or bosh. But no way could he, or anyone for that matter, guard a prime shaq. Prime shaq to me is up there or even better than prime mj or kareem

It's a response to "can michael jordan gaurd lebron james in his prime" and the constant trolling of MJ by Lebron stans.

As to the serious part of your post, I'd put a prime Wilt, Thurmond or Sabonis up against Shaq. Would be interesting. I'm sure there a couple others who could have stood their ground.

[JellyBean]

No.

[KrizMiz]

what a question

noone who ever played the game could stop shaq in his prime

[Nikola_]

shaq dominated when all great centers of the 90s retired
of course he could guard him

[HomieWeMajor]

lol Lebron is nearly 300 pounds and is like 4-5 inches shorter so that means that his muscle is more dense. Lebron can shut down Prime Shaq






Nah I'm playing but were you really that mad doe ?

[senelcoolidge]

Lebron can guard 1-3 and some 4's. Maybe in this era he can guard some 5's. But Shaq would do him worse than Chris Dudley. Rag doll style.

And Chris Dudley was an outstanding man to man defender in the post. But you cant do anything about that.....

Jesus that's brutal.

[RRR3]

:kobe:

LeBron would get destroyed.

[Le Shaqtus]

LeBron would get shit on, and that's no insult to LeBron, Shaq is unguardable.

Best he can do is deny him the ball, most people his size would have the same chance as him, but once the ball is in Shaq's hands it's over.

[Im so nba'd out]

Why is this a thread Lebron struggles with Nick Young and Joe Johnson on a hot night..........Plus didnt Russel drop 40 on heat in finals and lebron got yanked off him cause he couldn't deal

[BarberSchool]

:kobe:

LeBron would get destroyed.Totally destroyed, embarrassed, and injured. This is ahq's 7'2" 360 lbs next to Perkins, who is already bigger than Bran:
