He was brought there basically to negate the Lakers frontline's size advanatage against the Celtics in case they met again in the Finals. Nothing more nothing less.
Lauri Markkanen on the Bulls or Chauncey Billups on the Timberwolves would be interesting. Rather than looking at a washed up legends on weird teams (overdone, imo), how about you look at guys who became great but maybe hadn't found their game or the right fit yet?
It's scary to think if Shaq always did cardio, conditioning, weight lifting running, shooting. Like if he had Kobe mentality to getting better ...ohhh my . Shaq in Boston mentally, skillswisw we know he was good but his body broken down...should of listened to Kobe
I mean Kobe retired at 37 and Shaq was 39. Yes Shaq was woefull in his last year but Kobe was arguably worse that last year I mean there's his last game. But other than that he averaged 15 PPG on woefull shooting like 37% from the field. He was so hurt later in his career I believe there is a happy medium I feel he over trained and Shaq under trained.
Absolutely These Kobe Glazers can't seem to stop. Kobe was the worst starting player in the league his last 3 seasons. Shaq was actually good in Phoenix, serviceable in Cleveland.
Kobe is not a good example. he has tons of injury and also broke down in his last couple of years. LBJ is the example you need. Jordan is also good, too, but not as good
@@jessicarukuata-joynson938different context. Kobe went ridiculous to carry his team to the playoffs in year 17 at 34 after tons of career injuries. When comparing players to Kobe late in his career you should compare each of their year 17s
I think you’re a new creator bro, but in all honesty this is a great vid bro. Good editing, footage, script, etc. only go up from here! Keep it up brother!!
When I looked at his subscriber count after I read this comment, I was so surprised that he didn't have at least 500k just based off his content quality lmao
Mj in wizards? Was he any good? For me he did and still put up todays NBA modern era standards 20+ ppg. But father time caught him gave him injuries in his legs.
@@jasras5003 in today's NBA LBJ's is very fortunate because of the modern meds he take to keep him always healthy. But he just wastes them all, the dude i agree has talent but he doesn't use it anymore. He prefer to just do the lebron thing which is flop, whine, being psuedo gm and making LA worst.
I like how when you started talking about his Miami days, the music changed to Will Smith's 'Miami'. Interestingly enough, GTA Vice City, a fictionalized Miami, had The Whispers' 'And the beat goes on', from which Will's song was sampled from. Nice touch.
Imagine if he actually listened to kobe and took care of his health and weight management. It would be like orlando shaq fused with lakers shaq. Shaq was a different animal but wasnt the same beast when he won the title 3 times
Was probably the best shape he was ever in (cardio wise) not including his Orlando years obviously. Just wasn't fast enough for their often fast breaks. (Was also the last time we saw a great Shaq) I don't count Cleveland even though he made the all-star mainly because it was due to his name. (Like Wade/Kobe end of their careers)
I have some video suggestions: Walt Frazier on the Cavaliers, Was he any good? Charles Barkley on the Rockets, Was he any good? Dwyane Wade on the Bulls, Was he any good?
@@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303 I agree, but I heard Charles said that he sucked when he was in Houston, so I don't know he thought that he was no good anymore.
0:14 Calling Shaq "arguably the greatest center" really hurts your credibility right out of the gate. Better than Bill Russel, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Hakeem Olajuwon? No way! And you know who agrees with me on that? Shaq himself! So Shaq is probably the fifth best center in the history of basketball. This means he isn't even in the top 10 for best player. Not even sure about top 15.
He might not have been peak shaq, but he still had an impact and role. While being old and slow he still commanded a double team down low. Don't forget the Celticd where 28-9 with Shaq starting
Being a Celtics fan, I was initially happy with how Shaq was doing but the injury issues were quite frustrating. Didn't help that the time decided to trade Kendrick Perkins midseason and instantly lost size, seemingly putting more weight on old Shaq's shoulders that he couldn't handle
Barkley said to Shaq in TNT studio quote " That last year in Boston, you played like a slug, barely making up and down the court" 😮😅😅😅. Shaq was top 5 along with A.Sabonis in my opinion!.
Players forget the only reason they are rich is because of the fans that watch. I like Shaq but he owed his fans the best.. He was great but could've been better
Shaq played 20 seasons Kobe was a letdown his last few years, Kareem was ok but wouldn’t have been much without his team. Not too many people in nba history have played as good as shaq for as long as he played
New York Atlanta nd detroit McGrady, Seattle nd Orlando Ewing, Orlando Gilbert arenas, phoenix and Houston Gerald green, Cleveland jr smith might be my top
I know he feels like he robbed everyone.. BUT, my brother and I went to a game where the starting five was Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Garnett and Shaq.. They won by like 1 or 2 points.. It was an amazing time!
After you explain what you’re gonna talk about in the vid in the intro let the music play for a bit longer. It’s like you played it for a split second then went to talk. Kinda felt rushed.
Bad Shaq was still better than most of the centers in the NBA. Yeah age weight gain and injuries caught up with him, but he's still the greatest center in NBA history in my opinion.
i disagree with blindly stating "if Shaq had Kobe's mentality he would close the goat discussion" the thing is we can't be sure how it would turn out for him, maybe he overworks his huge body and ends up with half the career he ended up having (pretty much like Yao Ming)
Yeah, like I said it mainly came down to the injuries. If he had played more and not looked so bad at the end because of his right leg injuries then this could’ve been a better way to go out for him.
Ehh as a die hard Lakers fan I just try to wipe Shaq being on the Celtics completely from my memory. I wouldn’t say he was terrible, but Shaq was a shell of himself they signed him mainly due to compete against our size with Bynum and Gasol. As it turned out neither Boston or LA were good enough to get back to the Finals that year.
Call me crazy but he should’ve simply followed Lebron to Miami. He was cooked but Miami didn’t have ANY good bigs. Better than Eric Dampier. Shed some weight be apart of another legacy. Stay another yr. Get tht 2012 ring. Retire.
I wonder if Shaq would have kept wearing reeboks instead of wearing those cheap shaq shoes he sold at Walmart maybe he wouldn't have had so many problems with his feet during that time.
Ignorant comment. A shoe isn’t cheap in quality just because it’s cheap in price. If you knew the story behind Shaq making his shoes so affordable you wouldn’t say that Remember this, there are designer brands that sell shoes/clothes that only cost them $20 to make but they sell it back for hundreds/thousands of dollars and there are brands that’ll take a shoe that cost $20 to make and only sell it back for $30-$40. Don’t assume that the final price tag reflects the quality of the product. Mf’s pay extra for the illusion of a premium product
Actually working on that right now, saw others were recommending that when this video came out. Will be largely focused on one stint after his exit from Chicago, but there’s bits and pieces from most of his career
@@Iean1n Hakeem statistically won 2 of the hardest championships in NBA History without a single all star on any of those rosters, He was Nearly as good of a volume scorer as Shaq, a better post player, better shooter, better passer, and eons above Shaq when it came to defense and free throw shooting, Hakeem won DPOY. Shaq only won 2 more rings, 1 of which came when he was a mere role player averaging 12.1 ppg against the Mavs down 2-0 while Dwayne Wade single handedly carried them to the championship. It’s close it most aspects but I see Hakeem as being the far superior player while a slightly worse career overall.
No it wasn't. It was Colorado and Kobe throwing Shaq under the bus. How do you leave that out? Funny how they always leave that out. Fyi, Eddie Jones could have filled Kobe role.
The problems with his last season is not a great farewell retirement . His body was just overweight , and never got in shape as he got older. Shame if he listened to kobe , he might never got himself shape.
when he went to cavs it was damm near the same as boston he was washed imagine if bron got heat shaq but also i think about how he kept getting injured in slowing down
He was brought there basically to negate the Lakers frontline's size advanatage against the Celtics in case they met again in the Finals. Nothing more nothing less.
