I’ll correct the title. “The game an old Shaquille O’Neal put up a good fight against Dwight Howard”.
And then the view count goes down
RAGE MASTER fair enough
I was just about to say 😂
@@timothywoods4329 Not that hard when he dam near dunks 70% of time...
@@timothywoods4329 shaq was more efficient, but got out-rebounded, and dwight had more blocks? shaq also was in foul trouble because he continuously fouled dwight?
and what does age have to do with who outplayed who?
and for arguments sake, lets say shaq did outplay dwight, he definitely didn't school him?
Dwight wouldnt be able to do shit to prime shaq, but it looks to me like Dwight won that battle.
TRUE.
@Ramil Ponce dumbass
If dwight was allowed to do what shaq did for 12 years ( swing elbows , bootybump) he would of had a better career then shaq
Clamente Dominguez fax machine
Yea Dwight was better shaq was old but if he was 10 years younger yea Dwight would had Ben destroy
Now Dwight Howard can say he won a NBA championship in Orlando.
LMAO
A redemption ✊ still 4 can't beat 1
That's funny

Take into consideration shaqus age and how Dwight is in his prime.. an out of prime shaqu doing that to a prime Dwight, embarrassing for Howard
@@ellichacon8840 look how big Shaq is compared to Dwight are you kidding me nobody is stopping a man that size lmao
its sucks that we were denied a Kobe vs. Lebron finals that would've been crazy
Cavs would’ve won in 4.
fuck no dwight howard destroyed lebron
Darius we were not denied rather Lebron failed to get pass the Boston Celtics!
Kobe would've destroyed Lebron. Look at what happened to Orlando in the Finals.
LeBron > Kobe
it’s not even close.
Shaq held his own against at the time the best center in the league. Shaq in his prime would have been way too much for Howard, he was simply too strong for him and just as quick.
It’s only because he has close to 4 inches and at the time 75 pounds over him, 6’10 285 vs closer to 7’2 than 7’1, 350 pounds
Also Shaq hasn’t consistently played against Dwight like this, but you are right prime shaq would probably put up 30pts-11reb vs Dwight 18pts-15reb

Caption is misleading. I love Shaq, but it's clear that Dwight bested him in every category except fouls.
It's not really that misleading... Dwight scored most of his points on everyone but shaq. Shaq had 3 blocks on him, and scored on him down low repeatedly. An old wittled Shaq mind you. They don't make bigs like they use to, if you put a Shaq or Hakeem in this era, they would dominate.
Not true.

@@billsmith7642 cause he was fat as hell
looks to me like Shaq himself didn't think he could do it, as he pulls a couple pump fakes first. prime Shaq didn't pump fake a jam, if he was that close he was going up right away. This tells me Shaq respected Howard enough not to think he could dominate him.

Dwight Howard misses this Old Skill play of Basketball. It was gradually changing as as More 6'9" to 7'O" guys were coming that could dribble, post, zone and play the wing while guarding a wing man. James, Durant, Davis and Dirk. During this time. I was 17 in 1995... WoW! The memories, but this how they won games in the paint. Driving or posting. Today it's 3 point shooting that favors a versatile big man/center that can do what a skilled forward can do.
Amazing thing is he still does his thing in the paint. Just because the game changed doesn't mean he had to. Absolutely dominated against the Nuggets, especially against Jokic and Plumlee. Rajon and Dwight are one of the greatest examples of why old school ball is still valuable today. Looking forward to some vintage Howard in the finals.
*Joakim Noah- Top 4 in the MVP vote ( 2014 ).*
Top 4 ? ? If Joakim Noah had played in the 90s, he would have been a role-playing player.
*Deandre Jordan- All-Nba First Team ( 2016 )* Lol.
Place Shaquille O"Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon in the modern Nba and Wilt Chamberlains records will be broken.
Rudy Gobert- 3x DPOY ( 2018, 2019 and 2021 ), Joakim Noah- 1x DPOY ( 2014 ), Mark Gasol- 1 x DPOY ( 2013 ).
These pussies would never have won this award if they played in the 90s.
vs David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Shaquille O"Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing.
I was born in 96 my mom was 18 too
If I remember correctky, shaq was the only one on the cavs other than lebron who showed up in the playoffs
And mark price and brad Daugherty did too
Im a Fat Weirdo nah you thinking about the 90’s and 80’s
Brendon O yea but he’s sayin shaq is the only Cleveland player showed up in playoffs.
Im a Fat Weirdo oh mark price was in the 90’s tho

Shaq had 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 fouls. "Schooled"
Rondo SZN this is washed up Shaq though . Imagine prime Shaq
@@franciscopizarro5424 still he didn't school no one
Dwight let a fatass old washed up shaq drop 20 on him lol yes he did get schooled
this is out of prime Shaq.. I still consider this schooled

Why is it funny?

Young Shaq was breaking rims all around the league 😂
Young schaq got schooled by yao ming and olajuwon
shaq was probably 400 lbs at this time lol so once he got under the net he just dunkin it on you
i rememmber when he was 25 losing to the Greatest center of all time Hakeem the Dream!!!getting swept in the finals,lol!
Wow! “juiced”?
Looks like Dwight was doing some schooling himself.
7-15 FG: Dwight . 9/10 FG: Shaq
I miss this Dwight, always serious when he played instead of goofy off
Even in this video, which is 2010, you can see him wincing sometimes and I would bet thats from the back problems starting up.
I feel like he was always goofy during the first half of his career, and got more serious after he left Orlando because it wasn't fun for him anymore.
*Goofing off
@@whitehaven80 naw, I'm from Orlando. He got serious after that loss to the Lakers in the Finals. Go back and look at the 2010 playoffs how we ran through teams.
He's doing good now
"Howard starting to expand his offensive game" ha.
ikingbeasti look how that worked out 😂😂😂
@@TheIcemanthomas about 15,500 of which were scored before the 2016-2017 season...
@@TheIcemanthomas Not really. He got those points the way he always did. He never developed a true jumper.
@@TheIcemanthomas lol nah, he never expanded his offensive game his whole game was putbacks, dunks, and close shots it never evolved past that, his joke was that he never actually expanded his offensive game for some reason despite working with multiple H.O.Fers like hakeem and Kareem he never seemed to bother to actually implement anything they tried to teach him he used his power and athleticism to score never really developed his post game he was just so much more dominant than others that he could still put up 20ppg that's likely why he suffered so much more from the back injury than he probably should've :/
@@TheIcemanthomas I mean yeah dwight deserves respect but he also deserves the criticism he gets, he never truly developed his post game and never learned to score face up which is as I said a big reason why that back injury fucked him and why he'll never be regarded as a top 10 big man when he definitely had the potential to be in that convo the other "hog centers" you're referring to (I'm assuming you most likely mean Shaq) were either simply even more dominant and scored even more and or they have longevity over him...the whole joke was that he never developed his offensive game beyond his dunking and putbacks which is ironic due to the announcer mentioning how he was developing his offensive game when in reality he never did, nor did he even seemingly try to do so...he deserves respect but it is a joke that they said his offensive game was developing because it never did
Dwight had 22 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, compared to Shaq's 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks; respectfully, he didn't dominate him, but it was an amazing performance for both players
Shaq- 38 años
Howard- 25 años
At 2:09 the analyst laughing at the kid with the Shaq poster🤣🤣
If Shaq only took care of his body..........
Javon Funchess and if only Dwight put in effort to perfect his skills....
And that to, exactly.
@@jujuespino1374 howard dominated the ga.e when it was at an all time low
Dude played like 17 seasons.
but shaq chose to go that route, he would purposely get big just to bully guys lol, he'd say he would eat nothing but lobster shrimp and steak before games and stuff.
I remember first seeing Dwight so long ago on an episode of Zack and Cody with 2 or 3 other players and he was mosbees cousin
Kevin Love and Deron Williams
Suite life on deck i believe
Moseby's brother, not cousin
This was back in the old days when watching C/PF used to be fun to watch and would dominate. Now all there is to watch is is guards shooting 3s.
Shaq was a monster even when he was old just too big .
dwight did his thing and won this battle tho
That first dunk by Shaq was so violent
Do you mean the game Howard schooled Shaq?
Shaq was 38 in this Video, looked like Howard was more dominating Anderson Varejao and getting offensive rebounds. Shaq also got into foul trouble
CPGoat #3 how let a 38 year old drop 20 on you ? Lol
Lawrence W. The reason shaq was in foul trouble is because he couldn’t keep up with Howard and he had to foul him to prevent him from scoring.
Fish_Stix69 do you know what autistic is??? Lol
CP Dwight Howard was in way better shape.
His knees were not messed up as Old Shaq's were.
who's here after dhoward just won a ring?
I never liked O'neal's attitude. He could've been a better teacher on dwight as dwight idolizes him, but he straight-up became an immature veteran and a dwight-hater, all for a lame lame reason, "because of stealing his identity as superman".
That’s the result of an insecure ego
Truth!
Shaq is still doing it. He did it to Rudy Gobert, Javale Mcgee, etc. He's a bad leader.
@@rivasahp89 which is why kobe had problems with him
@@DrIsaacSun Yup, true. Kobe's a legend.
i really salute shaq he is the strongest ive ever seen. he is not in his prime on this game but still very difficult to defend.
He fat asf in this game😂
Shaq was too heavy at this point of his career which lead to him being a journeyman and his career ending injury in Boston.
What career ending injury?? He just got old
It's because his fat ass never wanted to workout in the offseason.
@@zayfrmda410 got old wtf? He retired because of his knee problems
1:39 that block was hella-impressive
I swear. That reach also is crazy
I find it halirious how Shaq made howard look like a point guard guarding a center
My move with shaq in 2k was always just to back down heavy into the post and dunk it 🤷🏼♀️
I loved that Magic team man, that core was so solid man, great starting line-up with a solid bench yeah they came up short against the Lakers in the finals but if they kept the same mindset for that following season they definitely would have had that title
Replace Dwight for LeBron....
Easy 3 peat
@@grow_with_me_89 No. That's stupid. Why would you swop out two totally different positions. Let LeBron stay on the Cavaliers.

2:29 those stats
How did shaq school him?
king piye clickbait
I know, shit channel, clickbaiting the hell outta everything, f...off
id assume he schooled him by being old AF at this point and Dwight being in his prime, that poster dunk on Howard was awesome haha
I am asking for the same thing
CLICK BAIT
I miss the era of the Big Man. Hakeem, Patrick, Shaq, Mutombo, Kareem . . . That's what I loved about basketball. Now I can hardly watch it.
Ok
All they do is Jack 3s all game in modern day NBA
Old man yells at TH-cam.
Amen. This "small ball" era is a joke.
Can we all just simply realize how the game has changed, basketball won’t always stay the same
bro i love these type of big mens who battling under the rim and not shooting far away from three 😭😭😭😭
That’s an impressive game from old Shaq against prime Dwight. Shaq was the only one who was affectively stopping him in the paint.
don't forget Yao
Plz plz God!! Internet ppl- its E-ffecting, not a-ffecting

Lol that's when Kwame Brown was with Charlotte too. He definitely gave Shaq some momma's cooking defense on Shaq fr fr lol
Click bait with the title
Remember this game like it was yesturday, it was really hyped
Dwight Howard was at one time arguably the best player in the nba. Definitely the best center for a very long time. It’s so sad that he let everyone get into his head and he completely fell off. I’m happy to him to see him play well in LA but man, what could of been if he wasn’t so damn soft.
He had a back injury in 2011 that cause him to lose his old athleticism. After that he is not the same. That is the time he got traded to Lakers
@@jarenmontaos5195 Wasn’t he with the Rockets for a while, too?
his back injuries is what slowed him down.
Never in hell he was ever better than Kobe or Bron lol, he was just the best big man but skill wise Bynum was the better center. D12 was definitely the most dominant and best defensive big during his prime tho
@@Yaredzbest24 He beats Lebron, so do Dirk.
When aint got Centers that welcome each other in the League anymore just screen and out rebound each other
English?
Shaq could of played well into his 40s and really cement himself as the best there was but he stayed out of shape late into his career.
Gilbert Johnson he was out of shape almost his whole career. Even if he tried to get in shape later at his size it would’ve been too late
Could've*
@@DefiantMercenary He was 315-325 in Orlando

WOW Shaq!!!!! 👏👏😍😍😍😍🙂
man dwight is dumb strong! against a man like shaq he is holding his ground like a bison
mglperson its because shaq was old and worn out from alot of injuries in his prime no center can guard shaq
mglperson an old Shaq he was on his way out
How did he hold his ground ?
Shaq shot 90% and scored 20.
Bad knees and fat. Aboyt 360 lbs.
Vs a younger guy with better knees , faster and could jump higher.
Damn... the man was just saying even an old Shaq is a 320 pound bull and that even in his old age is still a beast. Dwight DID a decent job based on the highlights. I mean he did win the battle that night.
Bruh... some fans. Get all ruffled by little comments. Lol
Derek Jr nah they won the game and Dwight had good stats but U might wanna check that 46% shooting buddy cuz that’s disgusting
My dawg a champion now put some respect on his name
Even though shaq is 37 years old, he gave an excellent performance. i love you man
Thumbnail, Shaq said bro in Barkleys division with no rings 😂😂
The title should've been Dwight vs Shaq😂
0:44 LMFAO damn even Old Shaq slammed Howard
I'm lucky that my first NBA experience I saw Kobe, prime Dwight, the Celtics squad, prime Rose, Linsanity
I like the way this has been edited.
Shaq throwing the elbow at 4:20. Dwight: "Should I lose my head or let him score?"
Crazy seeing this old Howard. The left hand scoop shot was all day for him and the bank shot, shocked. He is so different now. A hustle defensive guy now. Sad he never lived up to his potential. His career was never the same after he left Orlando
Back surgery derailed his career.
No it wasn’t all day. His touch was HORRIBLE. Not a soft touch at all. Lol
Majority of his points were off dunks and put backs
Imagine playing varejo e shaq in the same moment in 2023, insane!
2 of the best free throw shooters in center position
Bruh when Dwight first came into the league he reminded me of the second coming of Shaq..Really wish Howard can get a ring

Great watch but poorly misnamed video tbh

A poorly misnamed video? So it was a well named video?
@@Vibrant133 Bruh I'm ded
You might want to watch it again. Shaq dunked on him the first time he touches the ball. Shaq blocks Dwight the first time Dwight goes at Shaq. Dwight's first bucket is a jump shot and when he gets his first post score against Shaq with an up and under Shaq comes back and does the same with an and-1. Dwights next go at Shaq he is blocked again but a team scramble ends with Dwight getting a tip in under the hoop when Shaq was running up court expecting a steal. Next time Shaq goes at Dwight, Howard goes for a steal because he can't stop him and gives up a dunk and-1. Next time Dwight goes for a shot it's a foul on Shaq going straight up. Next time Dwight finally defends Shaq well keeping him far enough away for a jump hook that Shaq misses. Dwights only good defense on Shaq of the night. Shaq later gets an offensive rebound tip in over Dwight and that sums up them playing one on one against each other. So yes Shaq dominated one-on-one play against Dwight.
Shaq was low key a beast when he played for Cleveland
Shaq and Varejao on the floor at the same time...imagine that lineup in today's game lol
Monster duel of the two paint Power players.
Can’t believe LBJ lost to Dwight Howard and the Magic. Out of all of the tough losses in the finals the loss to the Magic just blows my mind.
How? They had a defensive player of the year who averaged 20 and 13 plus great perimeter shooters. They were like the prototype team for what the NBA became from 2014 and on. Definitely had better depth than the cavaliers team did.
Lol the magic was a 59 win team that had Howard dominating the paint and had alot of 3pt shooter's how does that blow ur mind. Lol
Here in 2020. Watching Dwight revive his career back with the Lakers 🥺. Young Dwight was beast
He was a beast back then. Force of nature down the paint while being anchor of defense for Orlando. He didn't put effort to improve on his jumpshot, ft% and heavily relied on his athleticsm. But, surely he was a HOF.
Eric John Bautista thebonly thing he had in his arsenal was a little jump hook shot. Idk maybe I’m wrong but I dont think so. He was literally one of the most disappointing bigs ever. He was supposed to get better and grow into a HOF. He never did. He was a physical freak for a few years and was good in the dunk competition that’s it
@@AmericanPride-lq8fn he was a defensive monster
Mark, Jeff, and Mike are basketball's true big 3.
Shaq was pretty old that time and Howard was in his prime! If Shaq would have been in his prime then he would just crush Dwight with his left arm. He was a beast in his prime!!!
ofc
D. Howard should've stay in Orlando.
So did Shaq
Even if D.Howard stayed in Orlando probably this time around he's not on the team for real.
No cap every since he left he never been the same
As a Cavs fan I can't lie this was my favorite Cavs to forever😂, until 2016
Yeah i remember these games
I see dwight following Olajuwons instructions... That back to the basket 1 dribble hook/drop shot from the middle is money. 🤔✌️🤘
I wish Dwight would take more after young Shaq then Olajuwon. That finesse stuff just ain't his style. He had way more potential as a rim runner and bruiser. I hated seeing that hook shot when he was in Houston
That stuff is gold, I love to see the Hakeem Workfood's in Haward.
*Thing I love most about Shaq is yeah, he's a funny guy, like to have fun but when it came down to playing on the court he was all business. Always serious. Which is something Dwight never could do consistently*
Michael Jackson standing BEST,is not for Dwight, play for passion,not BEST....cool.👍💙
Both have their kryptonite (free throws)
Why are commentators always so surprised when NBA players can use their left lol
4:00 great move from Dwight tho
I don’t think it’s Dwight failing to achieve his prime , I think it’s cuz the league dramatically changed overnight where Dwight’s position didn’t become a focal point
No. He imploded when he went to the Lakers. If he stayed humble in Orlando they might have figured something out. But they were aging and had god awful contracts so who knows
Traditional Big men ( 2010s ): Rudy Gobert, DeMarcus Cousins, Jarrett Allen, Clint Capela, Joakim Noah, Andre Drummond, Mark Gasol, Giannis Adetokunbo, Zion Williamson, Deandre Jordan, Hassan Whiteside, Blake Griffin.
And that's when the NBA began to suck!
nah it was the back injury that change everything for him. There were still a ton of traditional big men in the NBA in the 2010s. Teams just had more shooters and stretch 4's and 5's but players like Dwight were still highly valuable. Especially for defense and rebounding plus Dwight was already more of an effective scorer in the pick and roll so really there would have been zero issues with him transitioning his game later on.
Damn, that was a solid Orlando team :o
10 years ago already. Crazy
