I do like that Rudy is defending himself here. Most people are going to side with Shaq(i've seen about 10 highlight reels posted to twitter). Since we will never know it feels like they should go the boxing rout, I feel Rudy would have the clear advantage in that.

Rudy's probably one of the best defenders in NBA history, but nobody is capable of locking down Shaq in his prime...he was an absolute beast.

Rudy please fly out to Atlanta. It would be very entertaining. Race him to the t.v. Dunk on him. Get a block and let him have a charity dunk.

Rudy should challenge him to a free throw contest.

I just don't know if Rudy would have the strength to be able to do it. Wilt might have been able to - remember, he blocked someone's dunk so hard it dislocated the dude's shoulder. Like, if there are fouls called, then maybe Rudy could stand his ground, he's quick enough and smart enough, but when Shaq was rolling, there are very few people who ever lived who would have a chance at physically stopping him.

Rudy is legendary for guarding space, but man to man like that, Rudy wouldn't fair that well.

Shaq is just too big and could back everyone down especially with how the officiating was. You’d have to draw offensive fouls.

Not to mention Gobert can’t even back down a guard usually.

He can back them down just fine. It’s all the other things.

This going to last a long time. Rudy can take Shaq. He's old.

It would be a close match if Rudy shot FTS like he did against Dallas

Is getting stripped and travelling just fine ?

Shaq is actually a perfect type of center for Rudy to play against. As a matter of fact had big old Mark not been sidelined by his back about the same time Shaq started playing, Mark would have shut him down.

I remember Ostertag usually played him well.

Compare what Rudy said vs what Mitchell said when challenged by Shaq.

Mitchell simply said "Ok"

Rudy stood up for himself.


That's the difference between the two. Donovan is simply willing to concede things and just suck. The way he defends himself is the exact way he defends NBA players on the court.

"You want to drive to the rim?"

"OK"
