Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal have been two of the better and more decisive players in NBA history. ‘Air’ formed an iconic couple with Scottie Pippen, his eternal squire. And ‘Shaq’ dominated the NBA alongside Kobe Bryant forming one of the most unbalancing and dominant couples ever.
Between both two they conquered nine NBA championships in a span of 11 years and they all played under the baton of the legendary Phil Jackson. But, What if Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal had formed their own dynamic do? According to the former Bulls star, Toni Kukoc, including last week in the Hall of Fame, “yeah Michael Jordan y Shaquille O’Neal Had they played together, they would have been the best couple in NBA history. “

AND Shaquille he is the most dominant player in the zone in league history. He won four championships, was 3 times Finals MVP and once MVP of the regular season.
Skipp Bayless, legendary NBA analyst for ESPN, explain why the hypothetical do enter Jordan y O’Neal It would have been the best ever. In fact, he assured in Undisputed that his dominance had been incontestable: “If they played together they would have won 10 NBA championships without breaking a sweat”.
