1943 America vs 2003 Iraq

At least go for 1945 America so we have the Iowa class battleships (such as the USS Missouri) and atomic bombs in our favor.

Why? Gasol is probably as effective as Shaq was.

As long as we're talking about Shaq's Lakers and not the current version.

Why? Gasol is probably as effective as Shaq was.

Gasol is a perpetually underrated player but he is the second, sometimes third best player on the court for the Lakers when Lamar Odom is playing well. He's averaged 19 and 10 or so as a Laker.

Shaq was a coinflip with Tim Duncan for best player in the entire league during his time with the Lakers. He won one MVP and probably deserved a couple more, spending every year in the top 5 of the voting. Gasol has never received a single vote, not that he doesn't deserve some. Shaq averaged 28 and 12 overall and put up some ridiculous stats in the playoffs when it mattered most. During their three peat he was Finals MVP all three years and scored the most points and rebounds over the same time. All the Kobe lovers seem to forget that those were his teams.

The 2001 Lakers had Shaq and Kobe both averaging 28 a game (2nd and 3rd in the league), plus Derek Fisher in his prime and a fantastic supporting cast of role players with Rick Fox, Ho Grant, Robert Horry, Ron Harper, etc. They had 56 wins in the regular season because the West was stacked, but went 15-1 in the playoffs to win the title with Shaq averaging 33 and 16 in the Finals.
