Prime Shaq may have been the #1 option if teamed with MJ

If MJ and Shaq played on the same team in their primes, there is a world where Shaq would’ve been the number one option given how much of an advantage he had on opposing bigs. That is how dominant Shaq was. I believe it would’ve made more sense to run the offense through Shaq. MJ would’ve been the guy to take the last shot and and #1 option down the stretch in a close game, but I think Shaq is focal point of the offense.
