Portland Trail Blazers

1 on 1 ............ Shaquille O'Neal > LeBron James
LeBron would hold his ground..yeh he would give up some pts due to shaqs size but lebron has a WAY quicker step and would beat him on the drive and if shaq wanted to guard the paint then Bron would just pull up all day

 
he could have been good NFL TE, but not s super star like everyone thinks. Ray Lewis would crack his ****.
conversely, i wonder how good Gates and Gonzalez would have been in the NBA, or if they would even make it...both were good in college

 
Its tuff to call who gonna be a great pro or whos not. You wanna make the Jordan arguement be he was the 3rd best player on the UNC team (Worthy & Perkins)

Durant was good in college but who knew he would be this good. NO ONE!

Look @ Steve Nash anyone knew what school he went too, or how good he was, NO! What about Rondo, Chris Paul, DWill, or Westbrook. Do you think if teams had a chance to do it over again they would.

Everything being equal I would have chosen Oden to, just look @ Durant 6'9 200lbs who do you think in more likey to get injured. But its just is what it is, A CRAP SHOOT and you just dont know!

I feel sorry for Oden but Portland is NOT the worst team they just have the worst luck. The worst team in pro sports tag belongs to the Clippers!

In '82 Bowie was all ready an injury prone big man. Portland got a phone call 2 weeks before the draft from an ACC coach who told them not to pass on Jordan because he would be an all time great.

Again, Oden was injury prone & already went through major injuries before the draft. Durant had one of the greatest seasons by NCAA freshman, ever. And had the tools to be a great player.

big are more likely to suffer injuries, look at Yao, & Oden already had a bum knee.

Steve Nash & others are irrelevant, they didn't show signs of an super star in college, Kevin Durant did.

And for the record, yes Michael Jordan was the best player on his team. James Worthy wasn't even on the team in '83-'84 & while Perkins was good, Jordan was better.
