Shaq is only good in the paint, Jordan could score from anywhere AND make the free throws if you fouled him.

Shaq has gone to the title game with 3 different teams, but each time he had an All Star guard with him. (Hardaway, Kobe, and Wade)
Jordan didn't win any titles until he got some help, but you said "win now, not necessarily the title", in which case I'll take Jordan.
Hardaway? Wade?

Where is Miami this year?

What did Penny do without Shaq?

Shaq was only good in the paint? That is kind of a big deal. Also, remember, his defense was dominant. Great players were unable to drive to the basket against him.
