Shaquille O’Neal and Scottie Pippen got embroiled in a social media showdown Monday that made us all wish that both men could still play in the NBA.

The NBA greats got into some serious off-the-court trash talking that started when O’Neal played a hypothetical game of what-if by asking fans who would’ve won if all of the Los Angeles Lakers greats from every era got together and played the Chicago Bulls stars from every era.

“We would beat em by fifty,” claimed O’Neal.

It was on from there.

Here's how the whole beef went:

We would beat em by fifty "what you think". Let me know and don't hold back

Game over, @shaq. All that's ever mattered to me is winning and we did plenty of that in Chicago...

The question now is who won?

Both men are legends, with Hall of Fame resumes who played with some really great teammates in their day. O’Neal was the more dominant of the two players, but Pippen has six rings and played an integral part in winning each one.
