All this "traditional big men are obsolete" talk needs to end

In an all time draft the only players you're taking over shaq is Kareem/Lbj 

LBJ? He's not nearly as dominant as 3peat shaq.

And you think he wouldn't have the intelligence to adjust his game? Shaq had natural advantages that are going to give him the edge 9/10 times, high elbows or otherwise. Howard used his elbows to great effect 5 years ago and put up 22/13. Shaq was a more skilled offensive talent.

NOT ONE PLAYER IN BASKETBALL CAN DO WHAT YOU ARE SUGGESTING. Just "adjust" his game? His game is being bigger and stronger than anyone. That doesn't mean **** any more. You cannot go through people. That's what he did. You think he is going to get his 380 pounds around and in between multiple defenders? GTFO.

Not one player in basketball can do what? Adjust? Just about every elite player has had to adjust their game at some point, aging, injuries, whatever the case may be. Shaq had more skill than you give him credit for. Guess what, Stanley Roberts was 7'0 and 300 pounds. Why wasn't he better than everyone else too since he was bigger and probably stronger. That's basically your logic.
