If only NBA 2K19 was real life.
As everyone loves to compare eras with a "Who Would Win?" debate, the latest to do so was Steph Curry and Shaquille O'Neal.
While we can't make video games real life, we do have Las Vegas, which is still mostly real. And sorry Shaq, Steph Better.

According to Jeff Sherman of SuperBookUSA, the Warriors would be 12.5-point favorites against Shaq's Lakers that had a three-peat from 2000 to 2002.
The debate began with O'Neal telling USA Today on Wednesday that his Lakers would "easily win" against these Warriors who have won three out of the last four NBA Finals. Curry responded mostly sarcastically, but it certainly made the rounds with Warriors fans.
"Oh, he's dead wrong," Curry said before the Warriors took on the Raptors on Wednesday night. "Of course. We'd beat them. We can go back-and-forth all day."
From 2000 to 2002, the Lakers went 12-3 during their three-peat, while the Warriors went 12-4 in their three titles and lost the 2016 NBA Finals to the Cavs in seven games.
