Which one is stronger, O Neal or Jokic? Deepseek said it well, the key is Xiao Hua!

Just today, O'Neal spoke. He believed that if he played in the NBA today, he could still dominate the league, and he only needed to match him with a suitable lineup. Of course, we have reason to believe what O'Neal said, just like Arenas said, O'Neal can average 60 points and 34 rebounds per game until now. So what is the truth? O'Neal Jokic, who is stronger?

According to the current argument, there are two types. One is that O'Neal can play in any era, and the other is that O'Neal cannot survive in the small ball era! Let’s see what O’Neal said himself?

First, first of all, you have to configure him with the right personnel. O'Neal himself counted one, and then gave him 4 shooters. Overall, it is similar to James' early playing style. Not to mention that it is really similar. One is invincible at the basket and the other is invincible in breakthroughs. Anyway, they are all playing at the basket.

Second, O'Neal also explained the way of playing in the small ball. If Jokic plays against him, then okay, no problem. Jokic ran outside the 3-point line and shot 3 points. O'Neal himself had no choice, but when O'Neal attacked, what would Jokic use to defend? To put it bluntly, it depends on who can make the best use of his advantage.

After reading what O'Neal said, let's see what DeepSeek said? See if there is any reason?

DeepSeek's view

DeepSeek also gives two different views. The first one is of course that O'Neal can rule the NBA today.

First of all, the NBA's inside line is too weak. Think about the centers O'Neal faced at that time, Howard, Duncan, Olajuwon, Ewing, Mutombo, Big Ben Wallace and others, all of them are muscles and have excellent athletic ability. Looking at the current NBA, it is completely incomparable. Especially the picture below is too abstract. So can O'Neal score a shooting percentage of more than 70% in the current inside environment? Can you average 40 points per game?

Secondly, O'Neal's dominance is too invincible. In a game, it may be possible to continue all the opponent's centers. It may not be a concept for fans who have not watched the game for a long time. Here we have to mention the 2000 Finals. In the game against the Pacers, O'Neal left the opponent's three centers with 6 fouls. This situation is not even a problem for the current NBA.

Finally, although it was the small ball era, there were many 3-point shots, and O'Neal really couldn't shoot 3 points. He also said that he could only set up 4 3-point pitchers and let his teammates shoot 3 points. The effect is the same, so the problem of not being able to shoot 3 points is not a big problem. You should know that O'Neal's passing ability is actually very good. In the most season, he averaged 3.8 per game, which is considered a very good pass among the big guys.

Look at the second statement given by DeepSeek, that is, O'Neal finds it difficult to survive in today's NBA, and this view is clearer.

First of all, O'Neal may be trained in military training because his pace is slower, so players like Curry, Doncic, and Harden can train O'Neal in military training, which also means that O'Neal will become a defensive loophole on the court.

Secondly, the pace of the NBA is faster now. O'Neal is running back and forth throughout the game. Physical strength is a big problem. Can he keep up with the pace of the game now?

Finally, in the small ball era, it is difficult to survive if you can't shoot 3 points. You can see that the center in the NBA who can't shoot 3 points will basically be abandoned and cannot play at all. O'Neal will easily be transferred by the opponent to outside the 3-point line, affecting the team's defense.

In short, the views given by DeepSeek fully affirmed O'Neal's power on the offensive end, but he did not trust O'Neal's ability on the defensive end. Overall, there is no conclusion. Let's take a look at the comparison between O'Neal and Jokic, the first player in the league today.

O'Neal PK Jokic

1. In terms of offense, there is no doubt that I personally think that O'Neal has the advantage. The reason is very simple. Jokic cannot defend O'Neal at all. In the past, when he was a muscle and a stick, no one could defend O'Neal. As for Jokic's defensive level, it can even be said to be negligible.

2. In terms of organization, Jokic is at the historical level in this regard. Although O'Neal also has a first-hand organization, there is no way to compare with Jokic. It is obvious that Jokic is much more powerful.

3. In terms of defense, in fact, if it was O'Neal at the peak of the Lakers, his defensive ability was still very strong, with a height of 216cm and a wingspan of 231cm. His movements were more flexible than Jokic. In the finals, he could average up to 3 blocks per game. The individual career blocks are 15. Think about it yourself, Jokic can't compare with it at all.

Overall, O'Neal is stronger, especially if the two face each other directly, Jokic may be beaten by O'Neal within a few minutes of the opening game because of too many fouls.

The key is also to look at Xiao Hua

In fact, the key factor that really determines whether O'Neal can dominate the NBA today is that the rules of the league are to be more blunt, Xiao Hua has the final say. With O'Neal's huge body size, people will definitely hit the inside. If you can't do this, it's not O'Neal. So how should you pronounce a foul at this time? Is it a foul on offense or a defensive foul? Especially now, there are many fake falls in the league, especially many players, who are very good at creating offensive fouls. If you want O'Neal to play well, you should call more defensive fouls. If you don't want to praise O'Neal, you should call more offensive fouls. Anyway, in this league, the referee's control is becoming more and more obvious. They really have the final say who is stronger and weak..

Finally, I kept thinking about a question. If according to the intensity of the confrontation in the past, then O'Neal came to this era, which was like a tiger entering a flock, and he could even break up a team. But if according to the current rules, it might be easy to be called a foul on your confrontation and defense, and O'Neal could hardly survive, so I can only say whether the league would praise him?

O'Neal or Jokic, what deepseek said is good, the key is Xiao Hua!
