Shaquille O'Neal recently shared his opinion on who would win between the 2001 Lakers and 2013 Heat.

O'Neal played a key role in the Lakers' 2001 championship team, which is widely considered one of the best of all time.

[{"selector":"#anim-3362fe66-a59f-45d4-9f43-ad280dc696c4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fbfc4af-dc5b-4593-91d4-f26454bb5de7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-582520a8-0563-475c-8e62-d165068049b8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 157.26045%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

While he acknowledges the talent on the 2013 Heat team, O'Neal believes there was no one who could guard him.

[{"selector":"#anim-e4c7b113-7777-4983-abdf-90dbf254b974 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-057f18a5-9b8d-4e7c-a674-400b7865deb5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aadda238-44fd-40fe-b012-cee18d9d6af7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 228.63246%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Shaq was at the peak of his dominance during the Lakers' three-peat era.

[{"selector":"#anim-8d4635a4-b207-4813-832f-286f0d1baaf5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3d69428-bb48-4fea-b3ee-54bd4048286b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea196c3b-2acf-4b76-b34f-f3cdfc31e8c9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 329.02785%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 2013 Heat featured a formidable trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.

Shaq's dominance in the paint would have been difficult for the Heat to overcome.

[{"selector":"#anim-f69212e4-6fb2-4d16-bc45-dfb0f2719927 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44844544-076d-4c94-99e1-81636b7f87e1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e508d90d-5f49-41cd-b75b-24371224929b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 220.52734%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The competition between the two teams would be close, but Shaq's presence would give the Lakers an edge.
