Shaq Thinks Dr. J is Better Than Michael Jordan and LeBron James

Michael Jordan or LeBron James? It’s a question people ask because fish must swim and the Internet must debate. It’s science. And who better to ask than Shaquille O’Neal, who was promoting an energy drink in China. Via Yahoo!:

" “It would be an interesting game,” said O’Neal. “Young LeBron was more like (Lakers Hall of Famer) Magic Johnson. He was sort of like Magic with Jordan’s abilities. He liked to pass, and he liked to get it up. “But Mike was Mike. He was just special, like no one else. He always did things no one else could do, and things you couldn’t compare to anyone else. So he was special, and he’d win.” "

Debate over! Or is the debate getting more complicated because life is more than a series of 0’s and 1’s and Shaq thinks someone else is even better than MJ and LeBron?!? (It’s that third thing.)

"“I’ve seen young Mike and young LeBron and I must say Dr. J is still my favourite player,” said O’Neal. “A lot of people today don’t even mention his name but to me I still think he was the best. But these are questions that we’ll never know the answer to.”"

Of course Shaq, a man with a PHD from Barry University, would side with a fellow fake doctor. If only Kobe would become a lawyer / astronaut, maybe somebody would pick him as the greatest ever.
