Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting the respect for real.
I mean it makes sense.. we all know what giannis wants to do but he still averages 30 & 15 lol plus his 3 ball is developing so he could be shaq + hakeem of this era
IntelligentMan302 yeah. It would be impressive if Giannis wins the championship this year when no one is expecting that then he’ll really get respected
He does score in the paint, only dribbling with his chest toward to basket, and not back to the basket like Duncan and Shaq.
@@jumpman2126 i mean hes expected to win the east so he has a chance
Shaq said Giannis was better than him last year and everyone got on his back saying he was exaggerating
People forgot how fast Orlando Shaq was back in the early 90's.
As he said, he quickly realized he couldn’t outskill Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, etc. (no criticism-they were truly elite) but he could overpower them - so he became so strong few could even give challenge.
I used to imagine if I were 6’10” how I would defend him. Wouldn’t back down, but would “let” him win post position & even score, just to mess up his timing & expectations-the way DL set up OL. No chance to overpower all game, but strategic pick spots.
LSU and Orlando Shaq was 🤯🤯🤯
Yeah he ran the floor all game. Fast break freight train
He was an athletic beast!
Fast breaks and crossovers.
Shaq: I didnt want to take 100 free throws
Harden: let me get like 150 of them thangs
Fr g
Thangs* edit it and say thangs
😭😭😭 this comment is legendary
If Shaq shot as good as harden from the line, he'd want those 100 free throws
Stanley Watson true bout to do that now
If Shaq was playing today, he’d practically average 40. Dudes ain’t bangin in the paint anymore and it would be BBQ chicken every night
Ryan Brown Yeah he will bring balance back to the game
@@antoineb9371 he'll break the balance
JD yeah true. He’s like the NBAs version of Thanos
35-45 easily. He'd get 5 to 7 shots in the post/ paint every quarter. He'd make about 80% of those. Then he'd get fouled 10+ a night. He'd make 50-60% most likely. True dominant big men like him would destroy teams today. I had this same argument about Wilt in today's game with someone. His numbers would be scarier
I'll bring that balance back with my MyPlayer in 2K.
"It's cute" - Shaq about big guys mostly shooting jumpers instead of showing heart and destroying in the post, can't agree more.
But how many guys can destroy in the post? There's a few guys that can be effective go-to options, but just because someone is tall that doesn't mean they're gonna kill guys. Shaq expects all 7 footers to play like him but he was a unicorn. For guys that aren't gifted post threats, it's become more efficient for them to be floor spacers or rim runners. I love watching guys post up, but you really have to be great at it now for your team to go to you consistently.
True
Hishaam Bendiar i’d rather have a big man that can actually at least kinda shoot rather than a shaq type player who can only score in the post
@@theking5968 Being dominate in the post also takes training. My son played on a very high level team outside of NYC and the coach worked with his big men down low, its truly and art. My son is now playing on a high end prep school that is highly ranked. My wife and I are always saying how soft the centers are how untrained they are. If a job not many want to do. To start ands play on my sons team it was a requirement. Funny thing my sons physical center will more than likely get a scholarship for football as he is already attending pre school for football on a but still plays basketball.
@@mtadams2009 yeah it definitely is an art. But if you're not great at it, nba teams won't really feel the need to use it. I want the league to eventually find a happy medium between post play and 3 point shooting but I don't know if its gonna happen.
Shaq looking like Thanos in this interview lol 🤔
😆😆😆
@@krisj827 He snaps his fingers and makes half of his foul shots disappear.
"Back when I played the Center position was perfectly balanced, as all things should be"
but he sounded like Hank Pim talking about Iron Man tech when he said 3 pointers are cute
Oh man....totally should be in the MCU
There isn’t an era that prime Shaq wouldn’t dominate
FACTS!!!!!! ;))
The 60's maybe because you have Wilt and Bill Russell
@@petiteexplication6249 lol
I thought nk wilt Chamberlain would beat him (50 point) version btw I think since wilt Chamberlain was stronger and faster he could go head to head with shaq
PotatoFrames shaqs stronger lakers shaq.
"I play just like Greek Freak."
No, Shaq. Giannis plays like YOU!
Nbs Orlando shaq
No Giannis plays like Giannis only thing you can compare to Giannis & Shaq are their dominance
Giannis doesn’t play like shaq he’s the primary ball handler only thing similar is their dominance.
Shaq doesn’t play anything like Giannis
ORLANDO SHAQ was Giannis
"Everytime shaq turns over the right shoulder he's 40%"
SHAQ: "NOT TODAY"
“I don’t wanna read Shaq 20 out of 100” 😷😷😂😂
That got me too😂
Shaq: I have respect for Atantekanupo.... 😂😂😂😂😂
Los Angeles Lakers AtlantaKanupoh
However you say it lol
just fk that at least he got ring, get the ring first den respect
Antetokounmpo
Atlanta Snoop doe
I just want Shaq to sit down one on one with Joel embiid with no cameras and no recording for at least 2 hours and Joe will come out a better player
Not with ben on the floor
ben simmons makes joel drift to the 3pt line because he cant shoot and is always in the dunkers spot
Jay_Are I agree, I’m just talking about mentality wise. If Joe wants to get somewhere and get something done a double can’t stop him. Most PF’s aren’t no bigger than 6’8
These players don’t wanna hear anything the old Regime have to say. If was me and I am a big man I got Shaq/PE/dream/Robinson/Barkley on speed dial
@Adrian Gamos he actually took the criticism from Shaq & Barkley pretty well
At the center position you’re supposed to be most efficient player in the court!!!
Gabriel Munos But
And I do mean a big but____________________!
exactly
Yes
Basically yeah all you do is get boards and dunk and layup . You should be in the 60 % fg at least . But gsw ruined it now every center want to shoot 3s lol
@@jrickg9024 Which gsw center ruined this? Answer:none. 5 interchangeable pieces means no real "center". It's the rules, not gsw
This was the most intelligent I've ever heard Shaq sound.
Pretty sure he has a Ph.D...
I hope Jokic watches this stuff. If you watch the Nuggets play, you see there’s no player who can guard him one on one in the post. It isn’t highlighted because he’s a 7-1foot point guard.
The Bucks have three players who can each guard him one-on-one in the post. Nuggets in big trouble against Milwaukee, but everyone is.
DreamShake Jones nah lol
DreamShake Jones also he’s not a point guard
@@TheLastWalenta If you've watched 2015-2018 Jokic destroyed everyone on the Bucks. The fastest triple double in history was dropped on your team courtesy of Jokic. Jokic used to bully giannias in the post.
@@hope2bedopeentertainment867 Who cares about 2015? Bucks were cellar dwellers then, and I assure you no one cares. Furthermore, even if that did matter, Giannis has had better games in their head-to-head matchups in 7 of their 8 games. Bucks swept Nuggets last year, the most relevant year based on current rosters, and Giannis had better games across the board than Jokic. In 2020 Bucks can put Giannis (DPOY candidate), B Lopez, or R Lopez on him. Who cares about 2015 when Jokic was facing John Henson? Come back stronger, kid.
He had a good point at the end that’s why Curry became a fan favorite not many ppl can dunk like Lebron or defend like Kwai but anyone can practice shooting threes
Right and now every guard chucks 3s all game
anyone can practice shooting free throws, even Shaq could.
But look at his FT stats.
People praise Curry cause he changed how the game is played being a skinny player against monsters.
F
I feel like defense is something you can practice too
Anybody can practice but 97% can't shoot like that no matter how hard they practice. Its misleading people. They should just play their game instead of trying to be a clone.
He said shooting 3s is cute💀💀
Shaq: Be like me
Also, Shaq: Nobody can be like me.
Lmfao
🤣🤣🤣
People often forget Shaq was not only big, he was super quick as well.
You would destroy everybody in this era Shaq this era is full of cupcakes
3 40% shots are worth less than 2 70% shots mate. Bucks got it figured it out. Get the ball inside for Giannis, let the shooters do their thing. it works.
Shaq has stated Giannis would play him straight up. And he's right. The Worm did it, and Giannis is as good a defender as Rodman, believe it or not. Shaq would dominate this era like he did his, but less. Because instead of #1 in the league, he'd be #2.
@@sebyseby2 thats just statistics for shot percentage. That doesn't account for pace of play, foul trouble/value over replacement player, and penalty points. If Shaq was to get lets say Brook Lopez in foul trouble throughout the game that would force Robin Lopez into the game which messes up the spacing for Giannis and makes the offense less effective. Theres more to basketball than an analytical stat sheet that cherry picks stats that proves your arguement.
@@stephenasunnamedsource2943 Robin Lopez now plays nearly identical to Brook. Also, Giannis could guard Shaq. Shaq has even stated this on TNT. Furthermore, Bucks spacing is based on literally every player spacing the floor, not Brook. On top of that, Giannis has a higher-than-league-average expected point value on his 3 point attempts. What you just stated isn't very founded in Bucks' style.
Shaq Ben simmons
Shaq could've been Wilt Chamberneezy in today's NBA 👐🏿
For reals. And fouling him would change pace of play and cause you to be in foul trouble early in the quarter. Plus when the game slows down as it always does, he would absolutely murder today's bigs.
Shaq is better than Wilt Chamberlain.
@@allanhouston6759 Wilt better in my opinion, more skilled, more conditioned with less resources back then, even Phil Jackson talked about Wilt easily playing 48 minutes a game if needed & Shaq not coming close to that
@@allanhouston6759 Wilt was stronger, could run faster, jump higher, and never got tired. Also he had that finger-roll and fadeaway!
Allan Houston Wilt was stronger, faster, more athletic, a better scorer, a better rebounder, a better blocker, and a better passer than Shaq. Wilt was better than Shaq.
He would dominate in today’s game.

Interview Hakeem, the most complete package of any big man ever!
sishaq12 FACTS!!!!
He makes my starting 5 no matter how I stack em. The man gets severely slept on when it comes to greatest big man.
He lives about 3 miles away from my house in Birmingham, England. My mate sees him around from time to time.
That's true. Unfortunately he tarnished his legacy by not playing his entire career in Houston. He refused a 13 million deal which led the FO to immediately ship him north of the border.
Until now. Jojo
Shaq as a tight end would have been nuts.
Too tall for football. His knees and ankles would’ve been destroyed after college.
Andrew Barker was just about to comment the same thing lmao
Shaq would’ve probably excelled as an o lineman or d lineman instead of a TE
They would cut him at the knees and he'd be done in year 3. But certainly a red zone threat
They had Shaq as a secret character on Madden 95 if I remember correctly. He was a beast.
Coming back to this doc after the revival of the big man just happened. Jokic, Giannis, and Embiid are MVP contenders this year and it's beautiful to see.
I mean the revival of big man was already happening since 2019, that's why I don't like this ESPN doc on big man, because the new bigs was already coming back
" it wasn't a beating. I loved it " kinda sounded badass
Trust me
The most Shaq like thing he could've said tbf
Shaq : very serious moment I do play today
Also Shaq " My name is Giannis Antakonewpo "
Or how ever you say it
Lmao 😂😂😂
why would you stay away from the post if you´ve mastered all the skills? it just doesnt make sense, the centers just dont master the skills in the post to be dominant
What are you guys disagreeing about? Lol
Shaq, you need to pull Deandre Ayton aside and get in his head!
noitall man Forreal... I was expecting Ayton to be one of the two players he named.
Garrison Armand The fact he’s so young is why I thought he should be mentioned. He’s already begun to establish he can be dominant as a “classic” big in the modern NBA.
"I didn't want to read Shaq: 20/100" Lol
🤣😂😂😂atleast he knows!!
Shaq: “I was trash” (My basic interpretation)
Me: No, no, no, this can’t be true 🤣🤣
He wasn't as skilled as Robinson, Ewing, Hakeem or even old man Sabonis. Shaq was aware of his limitations, and played to his strengths.
2:25 Shaq keepin it real about his horrible freethrow shooting. Haha 20 out of 100
True. Even I made like a fifty.
I watched the Patrick Ewing interview as well and he said the same thing! Somebody please Joel Embiid that He has the potential to dominate this game. Shouts to the Greek freak, much respect!
Patrick is absolutely right he would be MJ IN THIS ERA LOL HAHAAA SO TRUE
Diestro Terrero Lay off the dope pipe buddy!
I agree Ewing wouldve been an animal in this soft era.
2:27 “I don’t wanna shoot 100 free throws anyway” lol Shaq speaking facts. But I feel like Shaq will bring balance back to the game if he were to play in today’s era
Your boy did it shaq...you were right from the start he didnt need to shoot to be dominating...you said it to charles like three years ago...Say goodbye to the ball handlers to the shooters to the snipers...The league is all bout big guys now..Giannis 2 mpv trophies after him Jokic...YOU WERE RIGHT BIG FELLA
A lot of big man nowaday are ball handlers and shooters and they can play in the post. Plus we already have a new generation with Banchero, Chet, Wemby, JJJ coming soon
"Joker is the guy that can do work in the post" ...ESPN highlights him shooting 3s SMH
As most skilled but non-explosive Big he dominate paint with subtle little exciting pure touch buckets that get him no respect by fans and officials alike (he gets hack-a-Shaq treatment but without FTs - average less then 4 FT/G as teams primary scorer and facilitator)
Shout out to you Shaquille O'Neal oh, and my condolence to your little brother Kobe Bryant may he rest in peace😇🙏. Yes players today don't realize, how important and dominant, a center can be in the paint, obviously besides scoring, a guarantee such strategic way of getting your opponent in foul trouble. As a big man having the ability to shoot outside has its advantages, but to be a skilled inside player, as you stated, should be unstoppable, with the additional advantage of passing out to a open man. The mindset of the play it today in a sense is somewhat weak because they don't want to work hard and their positions. Big man want the opportunity to handle the ball and shoot outside there's a balance. Once again my condolence to Kobe Bryant may he rest in peace and blessings and prayers go out to the families🙏.
"I wish Spudd Webb woulda switched out on me." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shaq is right on point about analytics. Analytics help you win the most games in the long run, like in regular season. But if you really have to win this one game, for example game 3, or game 7 of the series, then no amount of analytics is going to save you.
You gotta take the shots they give you in those scenarios. If they give you wide open three because you're not a good regular season shooter, but you're in the playoffs and know you can hit them, you'll make them pay!
I could listen to Shaq talk all day long. He should do an audio book on his playing career and the shiggty he saw, witness and played thru. It would be pure gold
So much facts. Like all the facts. Ewing and Dream create Shaq, Shaq creates KG and Timmy, and they in turn create modern swing 5s. Powerful insight.
If Shaq played today, even more bigs will be taking 3s only to get away from him. Man, this dude was DOMINANT. Literally changed the game and the RULES
Who's just waiting for the first public vid of shaq speaking about kobe now 😭
"It's cute" -Shaq 😂😂
Shaq's answer on the question in 5:17 was spot on.
This is why I was laughing at the surprise around DeMar scoring so effectively in Chicago:
The analytics looked down on that shot so much, no one knows how to guard it, so DeMar makes them pay.
It's a high percentage shot FOR HIM, and that's why he'll take it any time, and it will go in at a high clip.
I miss big man banging down low
feedmemore h hold up
Wait a minute
Pause
Y r u gae?
@@BiggsWaGwan no it's and old saying people say like play in the post
the stretch from 2:00 to 2:34 is absolute gold ... this man is a LEGEND
Harden to Shaq : "I'll get the revenge of fouls for you"
Best comment 😂
I wish a future NBA center is watching this and learning
I really miss Shaquille O'Neal being in the NBA like mad, even especially when he played for The Lakers and Heat during his time of the league. One of the best moments from him when went 1 on 1 with Michael Jordan for Orlando Magic
Agree he always brought the intensity when the playoffs started. Also unselfish player on the court.
Now take a step back and just remember and think of Wilt.
Wilt was the big man to do it all, during the racist Raw dawg era of basketball. Less rules, more made because and after Wilt.
Agree with Shaq 100%. I miss his glorious days.
After Shaq there's been really no big man. Not even Dwight Howard.
Greg Oden gave me high hopes. He played like a dominant big man, and was built like one too. What a shame that he's never had the chance to shine.
Nowadays NBA is just 3 point contest all day every day.
I will say this: That Orlando Shaq that played with Penny, Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson who was around 275 would dominate the NBA today. Too fast, too strong and too athletic for any of these bigs to deal with. He would foul most of their front lines out and average about 40 a game. That Orlando Shaq was on another level....Sheesh!!
Shaq was 295 as a rookie.
Just thinking about Kenny Smith makes Shaqs knee hurt 😂😂😂 7:26
wow Shaq laid it down here. He was very eloquent in defending why he'd be dominant today. That whole bit on statistics is spot on.
"I wish Spud Webb would have switched on me" Shaq. Lol
This is why Shaq is one of the greatest of all time - cuz he’s not just big and tall, he’s also super smart. He analysed the game and changed it exploiting its loopholes. This was the common language he had with Kobe.
I actually agree with him on this one. I also think it has something to do with the influence from alot of European players coming to the NBA as well.
Yes they have to cut the physicality so Europeans can keep up...but it will help sell the game Globally. You are correct!
The Diesel has spoken!!!
Rest In Peace Kobe 😭😭
This was fascinating to listen to
*Shaq vs today’s “big men”*
Shaq vs Embiid: Joel would cry for injury after Shaq gives him the Chris Dudley treatment every possession. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Jokic: Diesel would shoulder Jokic so hard that he would flop all the way back to Serbia. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Towns: KAT is offensively skilled but his post game and especially his defense just ain’t it. BBQ Chicken
Shaq vs Gobert: Rudy has height, he has length but he’s wayyyyy too skinny. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Davis: I like AD but you’re too small and soft for the Diesel. Just stick to shooting jump shots. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs McGee: funniest matchup of all time. JaVale don’t want smoke with his daddy. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Allen: He has a fro, he’s blocked superstars and he wears a headband but you ain’t no Ben Wallace. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Adams: This is actually a great matchup. Superman vs Aquaman. I’m leaning towards Shaq tho. BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Tucker: Do y’all really honestly think 6’5’ with no hops PJ Tucker is checking Shaq? BBQ Chicken.
Shaq vs Green: Draymond just stfu you donkey. You ain’t shutting down nobody. BBQ Chicken.
I'd like to see Adams dominate tho. Maybe if he got some coaching from Shaq. I mean, the genes are there.
@@joshrillo For sure he is easily the strongest most athletic player in the game.
5:51 🔥
I love how Shaq just calls the league soft and soy without saying it directly
Him and Charles say it bluntly all the time but unfortunately this is ESPN not Inside the NBA lol
One of the many great things that I miss about Shaq was his play style which you rarely see in today’s game. Great video 👍
That disco era facade in the background is distracting lol.
Shaq your my favorite nba player ever, i loved to watch you dominate in the NBA! Thank you Shaq!
REST IN PEACE KOBE!!!
how Shaq changed the game:
1.) No Charging Zone (+)
2.) Hackashaq (-)
3.) those NBA live glitches (+++) unstoppability and quick foul button 😂
4.) improvement of basketball backboards/hoops and broken glass cleaning equipment
5.) new hairstyles for teamates
6.) brought element of fear and possible injury giving rise to what we now call “resting players”
7.) Made Reebok mostly for Big Men like him and Yao Ming
8.) Made Rest in Peace posters out of fully functioning nba defensive players
9.) Made his pre-retirement teams dream of the L.o.B 🏆
10.) NBA 2k games simulations 100% winnable when in the starting 5
11.) made screens 100x effective
12.) made screens 100x defective when he opts to hold the ball longer
13.) Rules changed regarding referee attitude towards gambling (sorry Kings) by throwing down that Kobe Alleyhoop
14.) kept the Heat the only team to Win it all after his trade!!!!
15.) kept the Heat the only team to lose it all after he won!!!!
16.) the only player who ever played as a muggle Champion and kept the wizards/trolls/orcs/magical creatures and rappers happy by playing as a Genie
17.) made the game interesting by just being there on the Tv being magnificent
18.) paved the way for muscle healing research by continuously providing team medics with subjects/fresh specimens per game
19.) technological advancements in slow replays of the scientific shaqattack play
20.) 40% of the time he didnt change anything...60%+ most of time the NBA had to change for Him as he was flicking opponents like dominoes, no one could guard him trully awesome 😎
3:05 ITS CUTEEE😍😍 LMAO
I met Shaq one night in Sudbury, MA when he was rehabbing his Achilles Tendon while he was with the Celtics. The man was clearly in-pain, and thinking he wasn't going to be able to help-out with the Celtics' coming playoff run (which he was hired to do in the first place). A big man inside was the key to the offensive strategy - Shaq was too battered to play anymore. Being "big" in a sport where you need to physically jump dozens of times a night destroys your legs, knees, ankles, tendons.....
When's he is healthy, DeMarcus Cousins can dominate the paint.
(But couldn't stand going against Memphis w/ a Marc Gasol/Zach Randolph frontcourt.)
Tim Duncan shut him down...
@@blackriflemensorganization6139 Tim Duncan shut alot of people down. That isn't a something to be ashamed of.
He certainly is one of the more dominant offensive centers in the post Shaq era and had far more moves than Dwight Howard but the problem with Cousins was that he was a very poor defender. No matter how much he was scoring, he was giving up as much if not more on the other end.
It’s why he’s been a net negative for every team he played for. Not to mention that he often oversettles for jumpshots (which he’s not that good at) and turns the ball over at a ridiculous rate. He’s one of the most overrated players in the modern NBA and puts up the most empty volume stats out of all the stars that I’ve seen.
I was on the floor under the visitor’s basket at The Forum when Kareem took it coast-to-coast against the Bucks for a dunk, but I get Shaq’s point.
Shaq is most dominant big to ever play in the nba period
Subtitles not available on Shaq’s video????
he is right about the NBA today..it's cute
Average open 3 pointer (today) is made at a rate of 38.5% or 1.155 pts/shot. Shaq was a career 58.2% shooter or 1.162 pts/shot. Giving Shaq the ball (while he was getting beat up in traffic) was better than taking a wide open 3.
Honestly, we really miss you Shaq!
I love you Shaq, greatest center of all time.. hard seeing you go through what you have in the last year. Still have a way of getting people's spirits up even at times like these.
I love shaq……….he is such a character!
shaq's point about unskilled guys in the post skewing the analytics is so true. post-ups and mid-ranger jumpers are not bad shots, if the player taking them is good at them. just like a three is a bad shot if the guy taking them can't shoot threes. problem is there are no skilled bigs anymore, thanks to aau. it's a shame.
Orlando Magic Shaq would be quick enough to play today and be able to score in transition all game and playoff time when things slow down that's when he goes to the low block an starts bruising people
Little after 2 mins, his convo between him and David... what a perspective.
Shaq anytime Charles Barkley roasts him, “How many rings do you have, Chuck” lol smh 🤦🏽♂️
gold9er Gee, thanks captain obvious 😂👎🏾👎🏾
I never will forget Shaq goin coast to coast....
Athleticness 🤣🤣🤣
Shaq is a creator
Booty ticness leads to athleticness
LMAO!
He was right about the adrenaline thing. Giannis shot 65% in the finals, or was it the whole playoffs, I can't remember. But he shot 65%, which is alright for his standard, but nothing crazy. Come Game 6 of the Finals, closeout game, dude makes 17 out of 19 attempts from the line, going on to score 50 and win the chip.
"It's cute!" - LMAO!
They way he pronounced Giannis last name at 3:51 though...LMAO!!!
Rookie Shaq would terroize this league let alone prime Diesel
I keep watching Kawhi Leonard’s 2019 buzzer beater against the 76ers and going “That’s not a high-percentage shot. Analytics would tell you to back down from that.”
Like Shaq says: adrenaline.
And, like Gregg Popovich says: “If you’ve got the shot, take it. If you don’t, give it to someone else.”
"Post Up is Inefficient"
I cannot believe this phrase that I always hear today.
Top 10 Nba Players All Time(Most peole have these players on their list).
1. Mj- Great Post Up Palyer
2. Lebron- Good Post Up Player
3. Kobe- Great Post Up player
4. Hakeem- Excellent Post Up
5. Shaq- Dominant Post Up
6. Bill Russel-Goos Post Up
7. Wilt Chamberlain- Dominant Post Up
8. Larry Bird - Good Post Up player
9. Magic Johnson- Good Post Up Player
10. Kareem- Excellent Post Up Player.
(THE LIST CAN GOES ON UP TO TOP 20)
Can you say any of these players Post Up Move Is inefficient???
But you will ask " But they are great players and the greatest post up players".
My answer: Exactly, the post is not the inefficient. It is the ones who are playing today at the post that are inefficient!!!!
4:20 Loved watching Kobe and Shaq win ships!
Shaq would destroy anyone in any era. Idc what ppl have to say
Shaq struggled with Hakeem in his own era. Also Rodman. And Giannis would have him in this era. Shaq even says so. Also, Wilt, Kareem, and Russell would have him. But he is still a major force, of course.
@@TheLastWalenta you tripping
TheLastWalenta and where did you get these sources 😂😂😂
@@dillydilly5604 What sources? Wilt averaged 50 a game and was a physical specimen. Russell won 11 titles in 13 years. Hakeem swept Shaq. Rodman held him in check consistently, including to 0 points in 2nd half of a close game. Kareem is widely considered most dominant big man ever. Giannis has no bigger believer than Shaq himself. What are you guys smoking?
Great players can be great in any era.
Ya gotta love Diesel.
Talking the truth!
@1:38 and I quote “ I love taking a beating, FOOTBALL it’s what we do”
Espn: F it! It’s the diesel!
Shaq has gotten sooooo much better as a media guy over the last decade.
