Nah shaq in todays game would still score, though not efficiently as many of his points would come from shooting 50% from the line. He would get killed on the other end as he woukd suck guarding the perimeter.
We already seem hakeem getting bounced early from the playoffs (embiid). Your other guys do fit the size criteria so well done.

You don't remember prime Shaq and Hakeem. Prime Hakeem would be the MVP of the league right now.. crazy dominant on both sides of the ball. Embiid can only dream of being that good.

Sure i remember them silly. They played prior to steph right? Game done changed son. All you have to do is look at the playoffs right now. Not alot of back to the basket in the post possessions being used.

Neither guy has to play out of the post... they did so because that was the era... and even then those guys would bury teams in the post now. Part of the reason there aren't guys running that stuff is there are only a few good post players. Shaq would end up playing a little more like Giannis. Both guys can pass out of the post. Embiid if healthy is probably the best post player and Shaq/Hakeem are so much better than him as passers and Hakeem's fade away is better than anything Embiid has. Teams were also allowed to tackle players back then... those guys would live at the line... find all the open shooters when you double and score whenever they wanted in single coverage.

I would just have LeBron and bird play like shaq and Hakeem if it was ever necessary for me then.

I think Hakeem would have found a way to be a 35mpg player. He had the skill, athleticism, ball handling, and frame to evolve. Shaq would have improved in some areas, but in others, he just wasn't built for this era. A guy like Barkley would be more dominant today than he was then. He was a complete enough player on both ends, and his strength/athleticism would have been showcased against small ball teams.
 
I also wasnt being so literal. I would simply be looking for players that can defend every position and can also handle, shoot, drive etc.
Do it all players. Usually these guys are between 6 foot 5 and 6 foot 10. I love guys like KG and Durant though who are both over 6 foot 10. They fit the mold of the type of players I'm looking for (guys that can do everything)

You really are extremely dumb. This is one of the worst takes I’ve seen on the internet.
 
Prime Shaq is the most dominant player of all-time but yeah he wouldn’t be able to play in this era. Just some of the stupidest **** I’ve ever read.
