I don’t understand why we can’t just all agree Shaq was Superman and Kobe was Batman
because its false, if anything kobe was a 1A
Because Kobe was so good that Shaq called 22 year-old Kobe “the best player on all 9 planets” after Kobe’s 33/7/7 on 51.4% (in less efficient era) swept Duncan’s Spurs in 01 WCF. If you actually watched those championship runs, Kobe was the Superman when it mattered most in the toughest series out West. Shaq got FMVP because of weak center matchups in the Finals (Philly also played him straight up). Kobe had HOF matchups at guard on both ends.
@@thsu8facts can’t be better said
Because people don’t read comics
Because Shaq and Kobe were the first duo to show that one wasn’t better than the other. Both were franchise superstars that could control or take over a game.
Shaq is the most sensitive bully ever lmao. But then again, most bullies are probably very sensitive.
He bullies the bully though
Go and find out what he did to Lou, you can find it as matt Barnes tells funny story of Shaq in Paul George podcast. It's one of the willdest stories I've ever heard in my life.
Most Bullies are sensitive. Bullies were bullied
@@Norma1250 l said "most bullies are probably very sensitive" at the end there, Norma. But yes, Shaq was raised by a strict military stepfather who believed in going upside a boy's head when he acted foolish.
Yes. he a built like a beast but inside he is fragile. Hes a great guy tho in my opinion. Awesome set of parents
Shaq has the kindest heart and the most fragile ego. I know he plays it off as joking, but it's like every interaction is taken as a personal slight.
he doesn't really play it off. he openly said in this multiple times how sensitive he is.
He carries that burden from his step pops which he respects but that was his biggest critic and supporter
I doubt he has the kindest heart, but he probably has the lowest IQ - basketball or otherwise. He’s funny and goofy because he’s big and stupid. The worst player in the WNBA could shoot free throws better than him. I respect people who earned their position, he was just born big and lucky. I would take him on my team any day of the week, but I think he’s one of the least skilled basketball players of all time.
Chuck to Shaq "firs of allll, i like the blue tie you wore yesterday more than this one and secon of allll..."
SHAQ "4 RINGS CHUCK, G14 CLASSIFICATION"
"You been talkin crazy to me in my house the whole time" 😂😂😂 Shaq you are an absolute legend!!! JJ you played it perfect and stood on business on your own podcast!! 💯
“Stood on business” your lame for saying that
@@Tygawoodz6and u lame for hating. Keep it pushing goofy
@@SHAMGODTHECREATOR1 I stand on business
looks like u the lame now @Tygawoodz6
Shaq is so thin skinned lmao
I love how Shaq rewrites his history depending on who he’s talking to 😂 It’s never with ill intention but man I’ve heard Shaq tell like 4 different versions of this period of his career 🤣
people's perspectives on things can change over time
@@dandrogynousmusicdoesn't make it the truth
@@dandrogynousmusic That's not what this is. I've followed Shaq since he was traded to the Lakers. I couldn't see it at first bc all I knew about him was on the court but overall, Shaq will rarely admit where he could have done better. And when he does, he never tells the full story. And so he changes his stories a bit, add or takes away some details and overall always sugarcoats things in some way. Like when talking about D Wade taking over in Miami for his 4th ring. He said he couldn't do a lot bc he was getting double and triple teamed, going thru a divorce etc but will never admit to being overweight. He was overweight thru most of the Lakers title runs! He was plainly lazy AF! He can't admit to it bc his ego is still too big. He's a good guy but if he let go of his ego at least somewhat, he'd be a great dude.
Summer of 2003 shaq decides to not get surgery over the summer and do it on 'company time', missed part of the season and comes back more overweight, Phil jackson decides to run the offence through kobe and he has 9 straight 40+ point games. Shaq then comes back and starts crying so phil tells kobe to dial it back in or were gonna lose the big fella. This is the type of nonsense kobe had to deal with yet everyone blames him for being toxic and selfish. The reality is if shaq did for kobe what he did for d wade they couldve carried on winning rings.
You’ve got a point.
Kobe is a dirty and selfish player, and he is a criminal.
THANK YOU!!!!!
@@catgosu6734he's also a rapist
@@catgosu6734Michael Jordan was a dirty selfish player, and he even tried to cheat an old woman at playing cards.
LeKaren is the biggest liar ever, the biggest Flopper ever, begs for respect, and can never be true to a city or a teammate.
All these guys have been hated and loved, who cares, maybe you should get out of your mum's basement for a while.
That 06 finals performance by Dwade is one of if not the greatest of all time. It doesn’t get talked about enough. I remember people calling him the next MJ after that.
It does...but for other reasons
@@benjaminpeters6729*cough cough* -free throws- he was on fire that series!
100%. He's the only player that I have seen single-handedly win of finals. He had four monster games and there was no second option
@@jdavis9837 Hard not to do when DWade shot more free throws by himself than the entire Mavs team combined.
@@tdjkhazard4522he got to the line like crazy but let’s not act like that’s the only reason he was balling that finals. Dallas had no one who could guard him aside from maybe Josh Howard. They couldn’t stay in front of him lol
Don't take the Lakers job
Unless Lebron not there
It’s gonna be a short coaching career for JJ if he takes the Lakers job!
Shut up
JJ listen to what everyone can plainly see. Don't touch LA
wtf 😂😂
Did he really slip in Sacramento Queens?
I caught it
Lol he still says that to this day about them just like back then I love it 😂😂
He forgot the Refs gave him a win, damn...
@@DubKings ya the kings got did dirty by that ref, but what about the other 3 L's? should he thank em for those other 2 chips as well lol??
I said one win.
shaq is crazy for saying he was the e one to tell d wade to take over, Gary Payton said they had to pull shaq over and tell he D Wade needs to be batman big fella lol
I’m not gonna even ask for any kind of source cuz Shaq has a track record of straight _lying_ about so many things. Idk why so many people already like him so I don’t see why he feels the need to lie about so many things
gary would be a good podcast guest
Seen Gary say that multiple times but hey Shaq tries to change history like with his relationship with Kobe. The man offered Ryder ten thousand to fight Kobe
@@jaystacks5249😂😂😂 is that real?
@@thebucketmanj8525 very real lol told JR if you fire on Kobe it’s 10,000 in the locker
Shaq O’Neal speaking some Real Hard Truths out here
“It’s Never Over ‘Til the Job’s Done” 🏆

Words of A Champion 👑
generic comment
“In the 4th qtr you’re Batman, do what you do “ 0:50 🐍🐐
That was a GREAT segment
Always gotta respect Shaq we forget how dominant he was man was impossible to stop
What i found out by the comments is that nobody saw the end of the vid.
Hes really being honest about how his career went. Couldnt imagne he would be this honest.
Props
It’s funny that Shaq says he got to Miami and said “I’m Robin”. Yet it was Shaq who lost MVP by 1 vote in 2005, not D Wade. Pretty sure he got more MVP votes than Wade in 2006, too. Shaq mentioned the 2006 Finals here, that’s where I think Wade because the true Batman of that team.
Wade was always the true Batman he was just never respected enough.
@@jizy06 Wasn’t respected? Of course he was- was voted an All-Star and All-NBA 2nd team in 2005 and 2006. Shaq was still the perennial MVP candidate, and the one who coaches had no answer for. Wade was one of the best players in the league already in 2005, but Shaq was still considered THE best player in the league by many. You could say that he and Wade were a 1A/1B situation, but it was Shaq would was still considered the MVP of the league by many. It was that 2006 playoff run where it because obvious it was Wade’s time. You can’t tell me he didn’t go up a couple notches in that run.
😂 JJ got nervous started shifting in his seat 😂
never been this early, love what u doing JJ!
There are a handful of people with Goat skill, Shaq is one. But it takes the killer drive that people like Kobe, and MJ have that puts them into Goat conversations. Shaq could have been but honestly he didn’t want it enough.
Kobe cannot be put in any serious GOAT conversations man. Definitely top 10, arguably top 5, but even top 3 is crazy. I can't conceive of an argument to put him over Kareem and Magic much less LeBron or MJ
@@shepardice3775 💯
@@shepardice3775you’re right but if you go off eye ball test alone he’s top 3.
@@shepardice3775 There is no such thing as the GOAT or even top 10 list. However, for entertainment sake, I'll say my piece. Why not? Why can't Kobe be in the convo? All the criticism against those guys gets brushed aside, but when it comes to Kobe, it is amplified. Kareem and Magic had each other too. Both of those guys were taller and stronger than Kobe. They were bound to be successful from the beginning compared to Kobe. Magic on offense and defense were subpar compared to Kobe. I'm not even talking about a season here and there. I'm talking about overall career. Even Magic said Kobe was the best Laker.
If you actually go back and remember Kareem's career. He won an MVP with a losing record. His overall offensive numbers don't equate to how people perceive him. So much bias is going on. LeBron? Don't even mention his name with MJ. So, are you telling me that GOAT standard is so low that you need to bring up a player who lost 6 finals, 2 sweeps and team jumping 3 times stacking the deck?
See, every player has weaknesses and the environmental circumstances that they all play in. When casuals ignore all these different factors and go straight into, "Kobe is not in the GOAT convo!!!" That loses so much credibility. All the players you think should be in the GOAT debate need to be reanalyzed again. People forget all the weaknesses and down years of their favorite players and hate on players they feel threatened. Once again, I personally think GOAT debate is pathetic and not scientific at all.
@@shepardice3775 You only say that about Kareem and Magic because old heads bring up their name for the past 30 years. Them kids weren't even born back then and pretend they are the GOATs by reading spreadsheets lol. To not put Kobe in the GOAT convo is doing a disservice to the history of the NBA. I'll take players' words instead of armchair NBA professionals on social media.
This was tuff🔥🔥😤
Shaq is Uber sensitive.
But it was a benefit, too. Clearly his hyper sensitivity led to him being uber-motivated to prove the doubters wrong. If you think this is sensitive, MJ literally created slights in his mind for motivation.
Great interview JJ
He's not a good interviewer. He can't seem to ask the question properly. He always circles before he gets to the point.
Kobe wasnt lying when he said Shaq couldve easily been GOAT.
Respect goes a long way……..SERIOUSLY.
Former Nba players saying jj was a talker and him acting like he doesn’t know what they are talking about is hilarious 😂 rj be calling him out all the time
Shaq lowkey a lil fucked up in the head too
Good
lol you don't say
All the best players are. You have to be a little “crazy” to believe you’re that good in the first place.
Shaq always says story and calls himself a good guy in it 😂😂
Fun fact for everyone mentioning free throws. O'Neal holds the record for most attempts in a Finals series with 17 in 2002 and 2nd place is DWade with 16.2 in 2006. 😂
attempts or makes?
if you get 17 attempts and go 1/17 the other team just made 16 points off your bad freethrows lol
Shaq also shot 39 free throws in a single game in the 2000 finals.
@@GOmegaPHD That's not how it works.
Shaq is deluded with the talking crazy in my house 😂😅
Shaq changes his story all the time lol
Citation needed whenever Shaq claims anything.
Im happy we got to see Shaq get old 🤎
I would love to hear a whole podcast with Shaq talking about his teammates Chris Jackson, Stanley Roberts, Kobe, D Wade, Penny and LeBron. Usually he will give one line or a single story. I watched the whole thing unfold between him and Chris Jackson. I watched LSU before Shaq got there. Jackson had back-to-back 50 point games as a freshman. He was SUPER nasty!! (For older guys, I think Tim Hardaway stole Chris Jackson's crossover. Tim had the UTEP 2 step but not the crossover. Then Tim Played Jackson in college and next thing you know, Tim is crossing everyone with CJ's move)Then Shaq came in. Stanley was clearly better than Shaq. Stanley had at least as many moves as Hakeem, maybe more, no exaggeration. Shaq had no moves and no hops. But then Shaq had that breakout game against Arizona on national TV. Shaq put the whole Arizona team in the rim and the basketball world shifted. There was a power struggle between Jackson and Shaq, and, what could have been one of the greatest teams in college history, ended up being extreme under-achievers. That isn't a one-liner. It is an entire movie. And that is just Jackson and Roberts. Bty the way, Jackson was my guy. I stole ALL of his moves, Kobe style. I actually met him a few months ago. He is the best. So is Shaq!!
So basically you wrote a giant essay to dickride two randoms. Got it. Shaq averaged 14 and 12 with 3.5 blocks and over a steal a game as a freshman. Roberts averaged 14 and 10 with under 2 blocks a game as a sophomore in almost identical minutes. Worse shooting percentages too. Roberts was not in Shaq's league and his NBA career speaks volumes to that. Dunno why you disrespecting Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf by calling him his old name either. But I guess somehow 'he's your guy'.
@@kevingriffith677Thanks for your contribution stat boy.
JJ Redick your a Cool Guy Dawg Salute- Kobe Bean Meana
The no family on the plane until the finals, is a good policy. Makes everyone understand that the finals are not something your just stumble into. You have to sacrifice more than those who don't make it. If you start making a string of finals, you can lax the rule as a reward.
Shaq said we had respectful conversation wtf yu going wade been a killer
He didn’t want the wives traveling so he can cheat in peace lmaooo
Ayo the thumbnail is crazy
Kobe is as alpha as you can get.
Wade was a willing passer.
Yes, Kobe Bryant groomed Shaq to who he's today.
Kobe is batman shaq is superman
Shaq is like that family member everyone has that you just have to deal with from time to time. The drunk uncle, the annoying aunt, the arrogant brother or the clueless sister.
JJ future lakers head coach 😂
Shaq should tell the story of how he tried to get Isaiah Ryder to fight Kobe at practice for ten thousand. And Payton to him to lay off and let wade be wade
Folks can say what they want about Shaq n Kobe.. but let’s not overlook that their Lakers team is still the last team to 3 peat.. which was over 22 years ago..
Shaq is the Snoop Dogg of the NBA. Always capping about history.
Imagine if we got a heat vs Lakers in the finals. Shaq vs Kobe.
am I about to hear this guy yap about Bol Bol again
Take the Lakers Job I still better have my favorite podcast.
Black mamba! 💆🏾♂️👊🏾👍🏾😉😎
JJ shitting bricks 😂😂
As a lakers fan please don’t coach for us. I want to keep liking you JJ
Adam Morrison deserves an interview!
One thing that always baffled me about the people that say Shaq was "the man" on that 3-peat Lakers squad, is that they always fail to realize that Kobe was the closer for that team. Imagine claiming being the best player for your team, but you can't hit clutch free throws to seal the game, or hit a clutch jumper or 3-pointer to cut the lead to 1. Every single time they fail to mention that Kobe was the true closer and the true "man" for the Lakers. You can't be "the man" and not be able to finish out a game. Same reason why Bron can thank Kyrie for that ring in Cleveland.
Please come coach in Detroit JJ
I feel sorry for the chair Shaq is sitting in. Does it have extra fortification? How is that chair not broken?
I wanna see Dwight Howard and Shaq youtube Boxing
Shaq was Superman. Kobe was Batman. Derek Fisher was Alfred. Swaggy P was Kermit the Frog.
How JJ got a sponsorship from BMW damn i see you cuz
I mean he was a pro nba player
Sacramento queens 💀
Shaq was an underrated passer, but he was never the ball-handler and facilitator Kobe was. With that triangle offense, Kobe was the MJ + Pippen. He shot 25-30% better from the FT line. A huge advantage for Kobe in the crunch-time moments.
He would guard the opposing team’s best perimeter scorer.
With his play-making, FT-shooting, perimeter defense and clutch shot-making, things Shaq could never provide LAL the way Kobe could, Kobe was the go-to guy in a big game that was close in the final minutes.
Shaq was the #1, but with Kobe giving LAL all that ‘01, ‘02, & ‘03, while scoring just as many points (technically a smidge more), he may have been closer to 1b than “Robin.”
Who’s Adam Morrison 😂😂😂
Imagine how many open looks Kobe would have if people were also concerned with him looking to pass. 😂
Shaq loves to downplay their rivalry now, but nah, those two hated each other off the court. They just knew they needed each other to win while on the court. To specify I only mean when they were on the Lakers together and about a year or two after Shaq left, obviously they reconciled as time went on.
Portland and especially "the Queens" got robbed by the refs. I am not a fan of either team, but I saw Stern create the Lakers with my own eyes. Shaq is still a legend. A complex legend, but a legend still.
JJ if you take that lakers job and you don’t succeed people will go against you and just bash you cause that’s what LA fans do just a heads up.
Everyone bashes JJ for being himself - a trying dickwad. What qualifications or coaching experience does he have to become a coach for prime team like Lakers?
Nobody felt iggy was him when he won finals MVP
They don't want to give the trophy to the losing player
Nope...I'm Batman! 😂
Shaq is salty because he was supposed to be that man in Lakers and he was to a degree until a young kid came and exemplified all the qualities that Shaq knew he had to had them himself but wasn't fond of discipline. You can't be salty when someone younger comes and takes the helm of the team in a way you yourself couldn't . Pippen is salty about MJ to this day . Kobe was pointing his mistakes back then and it took him 2 decades to catch up to what he was talking about . Shaq and Kobe had the opportunity to be the greatest duo ever .
Imagine if shaq and Kobe would’ve realized they were Batman and Superman , instead of fighting over whose Batman and Robin…
Greatest Alfreds of all time:
1. Horry
2. Lebron
3. Derozan
Shut up no one takes you seriously
shaq always acting like he never have beef with kobe
the thing is, Shaq was such an easy basket being in the paint that there wasn't a reason for Kobe or anyone else to take a more riskier shot. we saw when Shaq sat out and Kobe had to takeover, he would dominate on both ends and he was playing MVP level. Vice versa.
Really just 2 killers who worked together for wins
Shaq is also leaving out the fact the Kobe was the MAIN PLAYER feeding him the ball.
Shaq : when i got to miami i was in charge, no more wifes in the plane
Also shaq : when i got to miami dwade your in charge
Huh 🤔 ????
Shaq is holding back. You know he wants to go off. Shaq in his prime is more dominant and effective than 2 kobes on the same team.
Just say it Shaq. You know you wnat to 😅
“Sacramento Queens” Im dead 🤣 Finals MVP is the ultimate unless your name is Andre Iguodala. That FMVP was embarrassing
JJ as the Clippers head coach? Could he finally win a ring as a Clipper? Hmm.
C’mon man. Shaq needs to stop being so humble. Shaq took Orlando to the finals before KB even came to the league. Shaq was gonna win titles with Penny in Orlando or Eddie Jones in LA. KB couldn’t do anything for Shaq but be his Robin. I’m so glad Shaq went to Mia and won a ‘ship too
Shaq got swept by the Rockets and was routinely bullied by MJ and the Jazz until 99-00. Kobe didn’t make it past round 1 until Gasol came and they went to 3 finals in a row. Both needed eachother.
@@aekaralagonisi Shaq never needed Kobe. Kobe needed Shaq, and Kobe needed Phil Jackson more than they ever needs him. Kobe was still going to be a great player but people need to stop overhyping it like he’s on Lebron, Jordan, or Shaq’s level of greatness
@@SlickFlair1 In the interview with Reddick Shaq himself says he’s not on the GOAT convo and puts Lebron, MJ and Kobe on it. Case closed.
@@aekaralagonisi Shaq being modest and politically correct. He smart enough to whatever he says how the media will spin it and how some crazy fans will react to it
@@SlickFlair1Yet Kobe got 5 rings to Shaqs 4 playing with way less talent then Shaq did why was that? 2010 Finals ended the Shaq vs Kobe debate forever
To those that think shaq carried wade(oaul Pierce Jeff Teague) shaq says it himself wade was the guy
Mj Kobe top 2 ever
Over Michael Jordan and Pip ??? Both MJ and Pip have more chips than Shaq and kobe and they were better on the defensive end.
Stop it
You are top 1 dumbest 🤡
HOLD THE PHONES! Did this man really just say Sacramento queens again, (after like 20 years and he had a stake in the KINGS...) when we all know for facts the ref threw that series. Bro... I thought you were the honest one? I'm not saying anything except respect the Kings. I'm fairly confident Kings would have won. Even if not, stfu about that series because we all know...
JJ just say NO to the Lakers bro!!
Never forget when the “Queens” got robbed
Sacramento what?😂
Hi, kudos to Shaq and jj for honesty, I feel JJ is dispectful, 1 opinion.
Not Shaq blowing up the Kobe was carried narrative that Bron fans like to run out there.
Kobe was NEVER carried and didnt want to be a #2. He fought Shaq for the #1 spot all the time, and Shaq openly states that he let Kobe take over in the 4th quarter.
Im not making this up, SHAQ IS SAYING IT IN THIS VIDEO.
Shaq has a hard time creating normal sentences
If shaq was 6'8 he's doesn't make it to the nba
But he was 7’1” and he did make it to the NBA 🤷🏼♂️
If Kobe was 5'8 he doesn't make it. 🤡
Shaq gonna eat you homie.
Fun fact Shaq has a Superman tattoo and played Steel in the 90s movie.
after Shaq retired he was not hanging out with Kobe so that just shows that they didn’t really get along
yoooooooooooooooo
Imagine if Lebron took the blame for when he loses
First!
I think Shaq has a good heart for the most part, but the dude is the definition of revisionist history. He's also very sensitive and weirdly insecure, always being defensive about little things.
first
Go coach the Laker JJ!
Please no JJ Redick as the Lakers coach. We don’t need more people to let LeBron do whatever he wants.
