If you got to watch Prime Shaq, you wouldn't even be asking this question.

Anyone who watched NBA in late 90s and early 00's knows truth.

Re: is LeBron James better than Prime Shaq?
i think its a lot closer than some will go on to make it out to be.
a prime lebron with any cast proved to be a championship contender. much like shaq in that regard. i think theyre the two best players at carrying weak sqauds to wins.

Prime Shaq is better than anyone in the NBA right now.
Not on a knock on the player's of today, but Shaq was just a freak of nature.

No. Remember, Shaq made 4 straight finals.. missed one year (eliminated the ECF) and won the championship the year after. It's not like he rode Wade to a chip either, Shaq was 2nd in MVP voting that year... With him on the team, you were assured of succes. LeBron is great, but doesnt influence a game like prime Shaq did.
Even against good defensive bigs, Shaq was always a match up problem. Also, a great big guy>a great wing player. You couldnt stop him. He'd give you close to 28, 12 and 3BPG and he'd shoot great percentages.

Re: is LeBron James better than Prime Shaq?
Prime Shaq was equal winning.He could have 40 points 20 rebounds 8 block game and still stats couldn't show his impact of the game. He was a cheat code more than a player.

I don't get picked last at the park anymore
Re: is LeBron James better than Prime Shaq?
Really? ISH undervalues LeBron that much? An athletic freak of nature with ridiculous ball handling and court vision (relative to size) with an above average jumper and an uncanny ability of getting to the rim and drawing fouls who can play 3-4 positions.
That being said the answer is obviously Shaq, but please, don't act like they're in completely different leagues.

Re: is LeBron James better than Prime Shaq?
first of all, this is worse than kobe vs jordan. these two guys aren't even remotely alike. plus, you are comparing a hall of famer and an unproven young player.
