Who's better Lebron James or Shaq?

In their primes? Shaq is!!! Right now? It's LeBron since Shaq is not given enough playing time to show how he can take three defenders down simultaneously.

The best is definitely Kobe.  Lebron is up there but Kobe is an amazing player that can do anything.  He can shoot from anywhere, has the craziest dunks.  His defense is a lockdown type.  He is just hitting his prime too.  I can't wait to see what Lebron turns into but Kobe is amazing.\n\nHere are the 5\n\nPG - Steve Nash.  He sees the court like no other.  I think his soccer background helps him out a lot.  He made Marion be the player he needed to be without Stoudemire.\n\nSG - Kobe Bryant.  If you read above you'll see why.\n\nSF - Lebron James - A freak of nature.  The dude is 21 and a superstar on the rise.  Possibly top 10 of all time when his career is done.\n\nPF - Elton Brand - He has developed into a premier power forward.  He can do it all.  He is a beast in the paint and his team would be nothing without him.  Ask me this question in like 2 years and without a doubt my choice for PF will be Dwight Howard.  I can't wait to see him dominate.\n\nC - Shaquille O'Neal - When he is on the court its a different game.  He may not score like he used to but just his presence makes teams play a different style.  Sure he is on his way out but he can still win a championship.

Shaq is the highest paid

Shaq, straight up. Because he is much, much stronger and isn't afriad to take it to you. Shaq backs guys down and dunks on them like it's nothing. I like Yao better too but I'm just going by who is better overall. I think Yao is more talented but Shaq is just more of a dominant force. Plus he already has a bunch of championships under his belt and as soon as he left to Miami he made them a bigger and better contender in the east. The Heat made it to the playoffs and the Rockets did not.\n\nSo overall I give it to Shaq but for pure talent it goes to Yao. Shaq sucks at shooting too.

LeBron is so great because he can put up 30+ points, 7+ rebounds, and 8+ assists on any given night. MJ was and still is the best player out there but LeBron is catching up to him. If you look at LeBron's stats in his rookie year and then last year and compare it with MJ's, you'll find that LeBron is better all-around but MJ is better scoring. Remember, LeBron is doing all this and HE IS YOUNGER THAN MOST NBA ROOKIES!\nIf MJ joined the NBA out of high school like LeBron, then this would be a different story. Next year, LeBron has the possibility to be one of the greats.

I think Shaquille O'Neal is marginally better, though Yao is improving steadily and will overtake Shaq really soon. \n\nHowever, even if Yao Ming becomes the best center in the NBA it will in a way largely be due to the fact that they is a great shortage of good centers in the game at the moment. Besides Shaq, Yao and Ben Wallace, there isn't a whole lot of competition unless you pretend Tim Duncan or Dirk Nowitski is a center.\n\nThis is a pity considering just 10 years ago you had Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, Shaq and Alonzo are their prime.

Well, right now LeBron James is the best in the NBA. But, the best player ever is the one and only MJ. But I wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ pass Jordan up.\n\nI LOVE BASKETBALL TOO!

Well, it has to be Michael Jordan.  Six championships, numerous MVP awards, and he made all of his teammates on the Bulls better.  However, LeBron James is probably going to replace MJ as the best ever some day.  At 21 he is almost as good as Jordan was in his prime.  We are all witnesses ...

I would go for LeBron James.  Compare to Kobe, LJ has more rebounds, assists and FG percentage.  Steals and blocks are about the same.  Kobe is a terrific basketball player, but if you consider all stats, LeBron is more complete.  \n\nBTW, LeBrone is 2 inch taller and six years younger than Kobe.  8-in taller and nine years younger than A.I.

LeBron is the best. he is the future for the NBA. unlike all the other players that have been player for a long time. he is young and new to the NBA. he will get better and better as the years go by. He will always be #1 for the rest of his career!

Im gonna say Tim Duncan is overall the best player in the NBA.  He is always either winning championships or going deep in the playoffs.  Wade is good, but not as good as LeBron.

both are good players.\nbut Dwayne Wade's personality and character has more depth than LeBron's.\n\nLebron's haughty... D-wade's humble.\n\nLebron acknowledges himself... D-wade acknowledges God.\n\nWade's more flexible and is not selfish.\n\nboth will go to the Hall of Fame, but Wade'll be in first.

Shaquille O'Neal, no doubt about that. He's bigger, stronger, and has more experience. I think Yao might be faster though. However, they both tire fast and I think they are both bad free throw shooters. Also, Shaq has more championships and was once a part of one of the best teams ever in the NBA - The Los Angeles Lakers!

I think lebron james is the best of the three. because he can do all 3 postions and has more muscle then the other 2 and he has proven that he scores better
