Shaq did not go to the finals his second year. Penny was the one drafted in 93, smart one. Penny went to the finals in his 2nd year. In penny's first season, they went to the playoffs for the first time. Without penny, the magic weren't shit.
The magic had no chance against the rockets. Shaq was nothing and is nothing compared to Hakeem at his prime.
If shaq's so dominating...
Magic:
Shaq (with no penny): Couldn't even make the playoffs
Lakers:
Shaq (when kobe was still going through puberty): no championships
Suddenly kobe gets good, they win a few rings.
Penny >>>>>>> Kobe >>>>>>> Shaq
