2000 Shaq comes here in a time machine and he’s coming to kill you. You can’t use a gun or a knife but you can pick one current player to protect you. Who are you picking?

James Johnson was a black belt in karate. So maybe him? Or whoever has done MMA training on the side.

[–] CitizenSnippps@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would send Steph or Klay just so Donkey would go protect them and he would finally get completely flattened

[–] cosi_bloggs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd time machine Terry Cummings.

[–] donaldrabbit1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

his clone :-) if time machines exist then also clones exist :-P

[–] UhMobSquad4209@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta go with Steven Adams, I don’t think there’s many other modern day players who could even come close to matching shaqs strength

Boban? He’s at least not gonna get completely destroyed by size and he almost killed John Wick.

Draymond Green has the best nut kick in the league

[–] OutsideTheServiceBox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This comment made me realize that between his size, agility, mic presence, and general personality, Draymond could probably be a great WWE heel.

[–] orphan_tears_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Him and Dillon Brooks basically already are NBA heels

[–] DustMonsterXIV@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nate Robinson.

Y'all never heard of David vs Goliath?

[–] Uniqlo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nate got flatlined by Jake Paul. Prime Shaq would break him in half.

[–] irespectwomenlol@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Raymond felton. Because he'd eat his opponent.

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Draymond Green has shown he has a mean sucker punch. Considering 99% of the fights we've seen of NBA players throwing punches look terrible, including Shaq, I think Draymond actually has some experience hitting a bag.

His punch on Poole was vicious, fast and came out of nowhere.

Draymond Green

6-6, 230lb (198cm, 104kg)

Shaq

7-1, 325lb (216cm, 147kg)

Shaq does have a big reach and weight advantage. Draymond has him beaten on speed.

If it was MMA or no rules, Shaq could just flatten him, GnP. If it was boxing rules I could see Draymond putting up a fight and steal a KO ala Mike Tyson.

[–] Goatbeerdog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats a mosquito bite on Shaq

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I do think there is some diminishing returns on knockout power. Once you're a heavyweight people are going to get knocked out no matter what.

I don't think Shaq could take a punch from Draymond any more than Draymond could take a punch from Shaq. If either connects they're getting KOd. Draymond does look like he can handle himself in a fight in contrast to 99% of NBA players who look like they're on ice-skates everytime they start throwing punches.

With that said, I'm not saying I'd favour Draymond, especially if Shaq is allowed to wrestle him to the ground and smash.

I mean Charles Barkley did a pretty good job. So probably Zion big ass

[–] Bodybuilding-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was going to say... give Zion a year of training and I'd give him a chance. But prime Shaq is still prime Shaq.

[–] MAMBAMENTALITY8-24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Max kellerman said it best....i want IGUODALA

[–] DoughNutSack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sim Bhullar

[–] yic0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I choose JT Thor, because his last name is Thor.

Hopefully he can fight like Thor.

[–] twonicelol@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nah I got it no worries

by flopping shaq to death?

If you watch him move guys around in the post, the answer is Jokic.

[–] peaudunk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Also, water polo players know how to fight dirty and fight when you can't breathe.

Come on, guys. No one. Prime Shaq weighed over 400 pounds. Anyone who thinks someone like Steven Adams matches up with him clearly never watched Shaq play.

[–] LotharBot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm taking Jokic

James Johnson. Miss me with that Steven Adams garbage. Strongest toughest guy in The NBA who can’t stay healthy to play half a season.

[–] Wonderful-Dress5391@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zach Randolph or Anthony Mason

[–] solo118@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would just like to see him throwing small point guards around like they are footballs

Honestly I am not sure, but Zion, Steven Adams come to mind

[–] NotAn0pinion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t use a gun? I pick Ja with his gun

[–] kmrobert_son@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

An NFL tight end maybe?

[–] yetagainitry@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

None of the currents could beat him in the paint. The best option would be a steph curry. Just keep shooting threes and you'll outscore the two's shaq will get.

[–] hamalll@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Paul Pierce.He will shit and won the fight.

[–] MH18Foot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Metta World Peace

(Ron Artest to you and me)

[–] AkronIBM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well, he hasn't been signed this year, but I'm still picking James "Bloodsport" Johnson, black belt competitive karate and MMA fighter. I'm fairly convinced Johnson would tear prime Shaq apart despite the weight disadvantage.

[–] Aloha1984@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Chris Paul or Kyle Lowry. Their asscheeks will distract Shaq into lovemaking and leave me alone.

[–] TurbulentJudge1000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zion Williamson is a big dude. I’ll take Zion. It’s either him or Steven Adams.

[–] Echodad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My kid used to train at a MMA gym in Scottsdale and saw Bismack Biyombo training multiple times. Hitting pads is different than fighting but if dude connects with a punch or kick someone going down.

[–] downinCarolina@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Idk Barkley told shaq right to his face that he’s not a good fighter and shut shaq up so I think he’s self aware of his deficiencies. So I’m taking just about anyone.
