Lol, The Kings beat the Lakers if not for the refs. If Vlad Divac and Chris Weber (0 combined defensive awards) could handle Shaq well enough defensively then I'm sure Draymond plus a rotation of Javale Mcgee and ZaZa would do plenty fine (Shaq would average 35). That version of Kobe wasn't as good as PEAK KD and Curry. Who's pulling up from 2 feet behind the arc off the dribble on that team? I get that "containing" Shaq means he gets 30-35 points on good efficiency, but he's a complete liability defensively against a team like GSW. Klay contains 22 year old Kobe (25-30ppg). Kobe has to play a full load offensively and defensively. They lost 1 game to Prime Bron, Kyrie, and Love while the lakers without the refs lose in 6 to Weber, Bibby, and Divac.

The biggest achilles heel of Shaq's Lakers teams have always been "quick, scoring guards". Mike Bibby & the '02 Kings Double High Post offensive sets nearly destroyed the Lakers. Bibby was receiving hand-offs from Webber/Divac and pulling up wide open 20 footers, which would be three-pointers against Curry. Allen Iverson did a number on the Lakers in 2001 as well, and then finally, Chauncey Billups ended that dynasty. Neither Derek Fisher, Gary Payton, or Kobe was able to guard Chauncey, If Shaq coudn't defend the baseline pick'n roll of the late 90's early '00s, what makes you think he can defend the high pick'n rolls today?

Scottie Pippen which everyone overlooked. However the Lakers had Shaq and Kobe. This probably would have been the only team to push the Bulls to 7

Imagine not being able to hand check and grab Kobe and Shaq i.e todays rules… they would truly be unstoppable and the reserve energy not having to physically fight off defenders allows for more energy for them on the defensive end hypothetically speaking.

The only thing that matters here is what rules they are playing? If you aren’t allowed to man handle Steph and Klay and just let them rain 3s off of pick and rolls, math says 3 beat 2s. But if they can physically beat up GSW’s back court and KD…. This isn’t even a debate who wins. The combined offensive power on GSW was unreal in today’s game, but all 3 shrunk from physicality.

The 2017 Warriors had Igoudala and Klay to defend Kobe. Shaq could foul out GS bigs and it would not affect the offensive weapons on GS. Warriors in 7.

Saying you would get in front of Diesel and guard him is not realistic.

It’s fun to have the conversations, but realistically the eras had each team playing so different it’s impossible to compare

As a lakers fan, it’s difficult to say. ‘01 Lakers fan was great. ‘17 Lakers was great. Let’s be honest, I don’t think anyone on the Warriors can guard Shaq. Kobe’s determination to win and dominate is also a huge factor. For the Warriors, that team likes to move around, moving the ball. If they can somehow keep the ball away from Shaq they’d have a good chance.

As Draymond said it depends on the style they get to play in, in Draymond era Shaq wouldn't make it alot of his stuff would be offensive foul... But playing in shaq era it would be over for Dubs & im Dubnation but just speaking facts

Every team tried every defensive scheme against prime Shaq and none of them worked. And every team tried to stop Kobe and none could. Lakers in 6

Man it’ll be one hell of a series, and throw 96 Bulls in it too… sport fans heaven match ups don’t matter who wins or lose

Not only was Shaq hyper dominant, so was Kobe. Nobody is stopping Kobe on that Warriors team. If the Warriors focused their entire defense on Shaq, then Kobe would go off. If they focused on Kobe, then Shaq would destroy them. The Warriors simply did not have the personnel to guard either. The Lakers would have a hard time with KD above all.

I’m just gonna assume the majority of people commenting were babies when the 01 lakers squad ran through those playoffs like a hot knife through butter, Shaquille was literally slam dunking on 4-5 people at once, Kobe is Kobe, Phil is Phil, and they had plenty of good role players, lakers 4-2 respectfully

Thank you to Draymond for giving the Spurs some shine!👍🏾

KD is a huge X factor. It would be a great series but I have the Lakers winning 4-2.

What people do not understand about this debate is (I still cannot figure out who would win tho) 1. It is impossible to guard KD or Shaq. If you think otherwise, you don't know basketball. 2. In 01', Fisher shot 51.5% from the 3, and 59.4 eFG% in the playoffs, even with hand-checking. I know most of 90s-00s players cannot adapt in today's game, however, Fisher definitely can.(and I know that double/triple team on Shaq has a lot to do with it). 3. Kobe wasn't in his prime in 01'. He was great + he was one of elite guards in that time, however, he still was only 22. But both Steph and Klay were in their absolute peak in 17'. I'm not saying who's winning, however, people saying oh Kobe or Fox can lock up 17' KD or oh Warriors will make Shaq look stupid with today's defensive scheme... or think Kobe in 01' would kill 17' Klay or Iggy...those things are just blasphemy.

Look who gave the Lakers trouble. The Kings, 76ers, and Pistons, they all had quick teams with quick guards. Warriors would of torched them

Depends what rules they’re playing in, early 2000s you can play pretty physical defense without fouling and a lot of the dribbling that is done today may be called travels. Modern rules Warriors have the advantage overall, but Shaq would dominate because the Warriors would probably use the death line up and be heavily undersized.

My Lakers are winning that thang in 6 and I'm being nice. Kobe and Shaq locked in, nobody is beating them. When they lost to the Pistons, they weren't locked it and at odds with each other. That's what it took for them to beat my Lakers that was coming off a 3peat.

Yeah right!!! That 01 playoff run by the Lakers was one of the most dominant in history. And a lot of that was because of elite defense. The Warriors back then would've gotten swept. Now if the series is played today, I think the Warriors have the edge but the Lakers are still the better team because like Draymond said, they changed the rules to benefit them so much. And I still don't think they would be a lock to win because they can't set those pick n rolls on Shaq like they can with other teams

I feel like Rick Fox would handle Klay well. And Kobe & Shaq would outscore Steph & KD. Lakers in 6.

I hate the argument old heads always use saying they will just beat the teams today up and that’s just ridiculous. Shaq always says he’ll just knock Steph on his ass and essentially just injure him but when has he ever done that? I remember players like iverson, Nash, stockton, mugsy bouges, tony Parker and many many more all being fine and Shaq never did anything

Laker in 6 or 7 if 2017 rules, Laker in 5 if 2001 rules

Warriors would win this matchup. It would be competitive but peak Warriors was insane. Fitness levels increased (better nutrition, understanding the importance of sleep, workout techniques, etc). The Warriors would have ran the Lakers ragged. It's not a fair comparison to be honest. Coaching schemes also progressed a ton with a bigger emphasis on basketball IQ. One cannot crack an NBA roster anymore purely on athleticism. The systems today are so sophisticated. And then there's the elephant in the room which is that 40% from 3, beats 50% from 2.

Lakers winning the first 3, then GS winning 2, then LA wins 2, then Shaq is injured - GS wins 3, shaq returns, La wins 3, and do on until LA wins 50-32.

Ain’t no one on that team stopping Shaq and Kobe on defense I think the Lakers would win in 5 the lakers would have to step up a bit on defense though

Lakers smack them within 6

I dont see how the warriors win this series. They talk abour their offensive prowess, which is valid for obvious reasons, but they dont think theyll end up in foul trouble? What good is that offense when theyre sitting on the bench with 3 fouls in the first quarter lol

The thing is no matter how many 3’s golden state shoot shaq is still going to bring problems especially for the golden state bigs

once again the people in the comments saying the Lakers would win are probably the same ones who cried about KD joining Golden State. if they lose every hypothetical i guess it wasn't an unfair move

Lakers winning. So many open 3’s with Shaq in the paint, Kobe able to pick his spots in the floor because of the defense collapsing around Shaq

The Warriors almost lost to the Rockets stop it they had no chance against the ‘01 Lakers

Who’s Shaq gonna guard? He is a defensive liability.

The only team could really beat the 2017 warriors is the 92 dream team!!!!

Stop eating paint chips dipped in mercury.

That Warriors team is just not historically great So many teams would trash them it’s just sad

Lakers will literally win it. No one can guard Kobe and Shaq in GSW 17.

it’s a coin toss n more of a coaching matchup cuz both teams can’t play man to man🤣

Draymond has to realise that they, the Warriors, can't grab or hold in today's rules either, so not only can Steph and Klay run around untouched.... imagine Kobe playing with no one allowed to touch him as well. Kobe's gonna dominate and he'd be fine chucking up 3s. Shaq's going for 50 on 20/25 shooting and 10/20 FTs after fouling out Draymond and whatever other big guy they throw at him. Shaq dominated other bigs that could bump and shove him on D, Shaq v undersized guys that aren't allowed to get physical..... BBQ CHICKEN!!!!! The only negative for Shaq would be having to switch more often than he'd be used to, he would be a bit of liability on D.... but not any more than the guys that are guarding him would be. Shaq will score more than he concedes. Too many people have blown smoke up Draymond's arse and it's made him extremely arrogant.

01 lakers beat 17 warriors in 6

It's funny how Draymond keeps on asking this rhetorical questions. . Bruh with these warriors line up with KD the center, Kobe would guard 1 to 5 . Now whos guarding prime Shaq and prime Kobe?! 🤦
