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.

They can create so many open spaces for other players and they have players who can score in sleep in open space.
