Shaq Responds To Kobe's Diss From A Few Weeks Ago

[SourGrapes]

Shaq>>>Poor man's Monta Ellis

You shouldn't joke like that. People will think you're trolling

[MichaelCheazley]

Poor man's Monta Ellis? That shit doesn't even make sense considering they play in the same era and Kobe is clearly better.

Tony Allen, on the other hand, never had the opportunity to play against early to mid 90's trash competition and become a GOAT candidate like Poor Man's Tony Allen did.

Kobe better than Monta Ellis Get out of here, son.

Shaq actually would have that 7 championships that LeBron talks about if he had worked out better and smarter.

Ownage.

Less ridiculous than calling Jordan "Poor man's Tony Allen", though.

[CAstill]

Correct.

A dreadnaught at center affects the game far more than even the greatest shooting guard.

Had Jordan and Shaquille played together in their respective primes, Shaquille himself would be option number one.

Even MJ himself agrees.

Next!

Playing inside out is the more effective strategy but that doesn't mean your center is the best player.

No but in this case, that is the case

What the hell is a hot night for Shaq? He shot above 55% like every night in his peak

I think what is he is trying to say is if you filter through all the games where Kobe shoots 27% and 35% or 40% you might find a game that comes close to what Shaq did every night.

[CAstill]

No. For being 1) stupid and 2) needy and being intransigent to basic basketball principles.

Skill closer to the hoop on offense and defense is more impactful than skill farther away

Nah you just don't know basketball just what you been told.
I agree that playing Inside out which makes your Center or PF the first option
is correct but that doesn't mean that person is a better player.

Shaq = alpha; Kobe = beta. Just as it was in LA.

Depends on how you define better. Most measures show Shaquille to be "better" than Kobe during much of the threepeat and as such, the inside out paradigm was optimal

Ah, a truly profound post
