Sorry, but an in shape and healthy Shaq is better. I'd even take Garnett over Duncan.
Let me give you some season stats to show you why I feel this way.
A very fat and unhealty lazy Shaq this year.
- 27.6 points
- 2.61 blocks
- 2.8 assists
- 12.1 rebounds
Kevin Garnett
- 23 points
- 1.57 blocks
- 6 assists
- 13.4 rebounds
Tim Duncan
- 22.9 points
- 2.5 blocks
- 3.2 assists
- 12.3 rebounds
All of these guys shoot over 50% from the feild. Garnett is the best free throw shooter at 75%.
Doesn't look like any of these guys stats are that much better than the other. The reason I'd take KG over Duncan is because his team is complete garbage and if it wasn't for KG they wouldn't even make the playoffs. Shaq is also better than Duncan. Sure, Duncan is the most fundamentally sound player in the NBA, but that doesn't make him the best. When Shaq is in shape he is too big and too athletic for anyone to stop or slow down. He is without a doubt the biggest matchup problem in the league. How can anyone expect to stop a guy that's over 7' and 320 lbs who is a great athlete? If it wasn't for all the Laker injuries they would have 4 in a row, but shit happens.
