Shaquille O’Neal And Draymond Green Debate Who Would Win Between The 2000 Lakers And 2015 Warriors

Shaquille O'Neal and Draymond Green had quite the debate on 'The Big Podcast', talking about which one of their championship teams from 2000 for the Lakers and 2015 for the Warriors would win if they ever faced off. Draymond laid out his reasons and explanations for how they would stop Shaq and win the game. However, Shaq was not having it, and let Draymond know.

Shaq: “Shaq’s Lakers against your Golden State Warriors, any of my champion teams, any of your championship teams, who wins? And bonus question, who the f*ck guarding me. Please don’t say Andrew f*cking Bogut.”

Draymond: “I don’t think any one player on our team could have guarded you. I do think there were defensive schemes that we could have thrown at you to affect you. One is not letting you get the ball. So we’re going to guard you with a guy in front of you and a guy behind you."

Shaq: “They did that.”

Draymond: “Yeah, yeah… I wasn’t on the court though.”

Shaq: “All right, so what you gonna do? Stand behind me?”

Draymond: “I’m standing in the front. Ain’t no ball getting to you.”

Shaq: “What you mean the ball ain’t getting to me?”

Draymond: “I’m not 6 feet.”

Shaq: “But you ain’t 7 feet.”

Draymond: “I got a 7’4-7’3 wingspan.”

Shaq: “And I got a 9-foot wingspan.”

Draymond: “But you can’t get the ball through me. Andrew Bogut’s behind. I’m in the front-.”

Shaq: “Stop it.”

O'Neal didn't buy Draymond and Bogut being able to stop him, correctly pointing out that Bogut would get into foul trouble trying to guard him. However, Draymond also noted that he couldn't guard Shaq, but could force him to play a different way, and even coax him into a fight that gets them both ejected, something that would hurt the Lakers more than it would hurt the Warriors. Shaq then asked Draymond who would guard Kobe Bryant and was not impressed when Draymond responded with Klay Thompson.

Draymond: “We leaving somebody over there to shoot because you motherf*ckers couldn’t shoot”.

Shaq: “However, Bogut going to be in foul trouble, now who’s your backup center?”

Draymond: “Me.”

Shaq: “Draymond, stop.”

Draymond: “Shaq, I don’t think I could have guarded you, I’m not saying that. However, you would have had to bring your big a** out of that drop. Man if you stayed back there, I’mma nail whoever guarding Steph, I’mma nail whoever guarding Klay and we’re gonna dot your I every play.”

Shaq: “Okay, but you know what’s gonna happen after that? I’mma tell D-Fish (Derek Fisher) to get up on them, let them drive. And I’mma lay his little a** out.”

Draymond: “Hey, then we gotta fight.”

Shaq: “Alright, we just gotta fight then.”

Draymond: “And guess what? You getting thrown out of the game, and me getting thrown out of the game, who’s that going to hurt worse? Your team. Then y’all lose.”

Shaq: “So I guess we not gonna fight then... Who guarding Kobe?”

Draymond: “Klay.”
