I dont really agree with gmanlax7 thought but thats his opinion.
I think the lakers still would have a great team without superman.
I cant remember the games that shaq was out with his toe but im pretty sure the won most them.. Thriller,, Who would stop shaq if the lakers didnt have him? I dont know but an idea would be to put a mid-size guard on him 6-6 to 6-8 more like kobe to deffend him... Shaq likes to turn his back to his opp and then charge in well if the defender of shaq always stay infront not evenin carrying where the ball is shaq will be denided the ball.. MOST people play shaqs game the play physical against him.. Thats crazy your going to lose every time.. So what Im saying is let shaq move around and when steps alittle forward to get infront of you, just back up with him dont play the physical game...
Big guys wont stop shaq theyve tried that route but a medium really fast guy, may just stop shaq from the ball...
