NBA:  Shaquille O'Neal selects his starting 5 for the all-time. Shaq is one of the most dominant players in the NBA of any era. He is the most dominant player in the post area. 


Shaq selects Lebron James and Michael Jordan in his all-time NBA team with himself Alen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. After this post, he gives a hard task to select a better team to beat this team. Shaq selected this team and challenged fans if they could build a better starting 5 to beat his starting 5 in a 7-game series.        


Shaq is 4 times NBA champion and he won Finals MVP 3 times (2000 to 2001). He won NBA's MVP in 2000, 15 times he selected in an NBA all-star(1993-1998,2000-2007 and 2009). He is 3 times the NBA All-star game MVP(2000,2004 and 2009). He selected 8 times in All-NBA first team(1998, 2000 to 2006), 2 times All-NBA second team, and 4 times all NBA 3rd team(1994,1996,1997,2009). He achieved many things in his NBA career. 


Many fans regard him as the most dominant player of the NBA in any generation. He won 3 peat with another legend, Kobe Bryant, from 2000-2002. He played 19 years in the NBA and some founded a solution to stop him was to foul him. This was the only solution they got because he was very bad at free-throw shooting.  


A team he selected has got what an NBA team to win any trophy. This team has Jordan, LeBron, and Kobe Bryant, Shaq at the center, and Iverson as a point guard. There is no chance for any other all-time team to beat this team with the IQ, paint dominance, killer instinct, and crazy moves from Allen Iverson.

LeBron, MJ, and Kobe. These three names are enough to put pressure on anyone and he added himself as one of the most dominant players whom no one can stop with another great player of a game who can break anyone's ankle with his crazy move Iverson.  


Shaq's team has got 12 MVP trophies winner, Jordan won most 5 times, LeBron James won 4 times, Kobe, AI and Shaq himself won the MVP trophy one time. 15 finals MVPs, Jordan won 6 times, LeBron James won 4 times, He recently won with the Lakers, Shaq won 3 times and Kobe Bryant won 2 times. AI never won the MVP trophy. They all selected for the 50 times All-NBA first team. 


The only shooter is not available in this team but they can fill a space of that shooter in their team with the presence of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and AI. They are all elite defender and scorer. They can create so many open spaces for other players and they have players who can score in sleep in open space.
