Yeah he's honestly one of, if not my favorite analyst. I remember when he first started after his retirement I thought this wasn't the career for him. But he's made so much improvement and always has valid points. Plus he's a great story teller with his decades of memory.
yeah, its an early conclusion to be made, though they are individually great, but still they have to build chemistry and synergy on their game together, which haven't proven yet for now.
showtime951 straight up man ...true true ...about jerry west ..he is right and u can tel shaq got class respecting people that had helped him and not trash-talking nobody ...i like the 40-20 ...”yeah youre right about that”
Gman it’s his opinion man that’s all... I grew up watching Jordan before his chips and after. I loved him... Kobe was next but I wasn’t a fan of him.... Lebron is my new Gen MJ.....
@Ry Guy skew the stats kobe was harassing jalen and reggie miller all game long. Jalen even admitted that he did that to Kobe on purpose, he was injured in one game and sat out the next one where shaq LOST. Croshere was guarding robert horry foh. Plus the fact that kobe was 21 years young!
When you sas changing his opinion than most people blink an eye you know the media is full of BS ...and the players finaly let them feel ...woj is like the man who knows everything but actualy doesn’t know s..t ! All he does is speculate and hope he’s right about one thing
Shaq and Kobe were never allowed to use a push foul consistently when driving to the basket and or pulling up for a shot. If so there would be no reason to even think about making the comparison. Just as if Lebron were not allowed to use an illegal push off, which makes guarding him practically impossible, there would be no reason for the comparison.
Beat MJ when he came back from retirement and played only 17 games. The very next year after a full season MJ swept his team. Nick Wright is a troll smh
wrongggg!!! they got rodman !!! they added another freak to the team thats why they were able to swept them .. like GSW adding KD when they couldnt beat LBJ
Couldn't agree with Shaq more, Lakers need to swallow that foolish pride and get Jerry West back in the purple and gold organization where he belongs! Man is a Dynasty Builder!
Magic Johnson tried. Jerry West declined. Jerry West left the Laker organization because Dr. Buss, who I have a lot of respect for, undervalued his contributions to what the Laker organization had achieved. I doubt he will come back. I could be wrong but , I read he likes being with the Clipper organization.
@@riccracc6547 not gonna lie, he definitely will put together a very tough contending team cause I think he gets Kawhi to go with Bev (FA) Harrell, Lou Will. He practically constructed the Conley Gasol ZBo Grizz and Steph Klay Dray Iggy Warriors
lol..."They get to hack and sacking Shaq - if he doesn't hit the free throws don't even pass it to him, give it to Kobe the whole 4th quarter"... it's pretty awesome how he admitted to that.
Nick Wright said the NBA "burned the tapes" on that Orlando-Chicago EC Semi series when they really didn't. No one talks about it because Orlando didn't win in the finals and then the Bulls swept them the next year.
I think you just have to look at it from a championship standpoint. Magic, Kareem and Kobe all brought 5 championships to the Lakers. Jerry West only delivered 1 as a player, but if we accept that he's the architect of championships as Lakers GM, he brought 6 'ships to the Lakers as GM. Shaq, for all of his dominance, is bringing up the rear with only 3 titles as a Laker. We don't even have to go into all of the team records that other Lakers players have over Shaq. This is why everyone who critiques Shaq always say that his major flaw is that he didn't have Kobe's mentality. If he did, he would have won many more rings and dominated team records as a Laker.
@@primejudicator7817 True but Kobe to me is better because when we mention Lakers Kobe is literally the first eprson we think off why is that???? 20 seasons with one team 7 final appearances to only 2 losses and 39 game winners he was a hero for LA no disrespect to Magic but his legacy is not as heroic even though he is a all time great
@@Hamzethegoat I think it's a generational thing. No doubt, Kobe is Mr. Laker to just about everyone now. But for my generation is was Magic or Kareem. For my father's generation, it was West, even though he didn't win many finals. One thing is for sure, I've been blessed. I was around to see us win almost all of our championships.
@@Hamzethegoat You had to have seen them both play to have a valid opinion. Magic was every bit as heroic as Kobe. You could choose either one and you wouldn't be wrong. Magic went to 9 Finals in 12 years. If it weren't for injuries, he probably would have beaten Jordan in his first Finals. He'd be 5-1 and people would be talking about him differently. The NBA Finals weren't even televised live until Magic made the league prime time.
Shaq pretty much got ran outta town by Kobe Bryant bruh thts why shaq only won 3 at the lakers honestly I think If shaq and Kobe was better teammates for each other they would have won and easy 5-7 rings together easy
This the type of stuff I bring up when people use players opinions to back up why one player is better than another. Lol it doesn't matter if they used to play basketball or not if they don't watch the games today, former players barely know what they're talking about with current ones 😭
Nice. And that idiot, who never played nothing, talking about how the NBA forget about the Bulls lost to the Penny and Shaq's Magic on the ECF semis. Smh.
james jordan plus the game was tied so even if kerr missed they would just go to overtime, more importantly, it was game 6 with the bulls up 3-2 in the series. If it was game 7 with the bulls down by 1 there is no way Jordan passes up the shot.
Moss was different but not better. CC was $$ everywhere on the field, moss wont go over the middle. Moss was a td waiting to happen, cc was just a gtd catch. I watched the entire careers of both. Calvin Johnson would be my pick, better than both of them.
@@andrewilson2292 I watched the same careers you did unless there's an alternate earth. Chris was good but his hands were nowhere near as good as Randy's. No coach in the NFL would have taken Chris over Randy who was trying to win. Moss the boss catch almost every toss.

Kasra Mahabadi Boy the Lakers don't even have a team lol Everybody know Lebron is wounded prey and AD has a 80% chance of getting hurt. The league is about to gangbang the Lakers lol!
This segment is why i always loved Shaq is honesty & insight of the game. People forget Shaq supported a young Kobe but Kobe always wanted to be his own man. Joining an already playoff team than a superstar one of the top 6-8 players in the nba by 1996. They won & he always gave everyone credit. Every superstar or legend does like or doesn't do that
@@kalix975 and he wasnt? Tell me who made the key basket in those runs when shaq fouled out who would carry the team in fourth? Who would guard the best player on the other team hence Jason Kidd, Reggie Miller and AI it was Kobe the dude basically average nearly 30 a game in those playoffs runs give him his props and stop hating like Nick Wrong
Shaq is a national treasure. He keeps it real and bases his opinions on logic. Love his stories about the old days...that story about his interaction with Jerry West was gold!
Nick the commentator thinks LBJ is the GOAT. While Shaq, who competed against MJ and against and with LBJ thinks MJ is the GOAT. Who are we going to believe, the former great or the commentator? All the basketball greats say that MJ is without a doubt the best ever but commentators think they know better. lol
Cesar I am sure that majority of the players that played against Kareem and Mj would say Kareem is better . Era and the time people gre up dictate someone’s opinion on who the best is. At the end of the day , unless we figure out time travel and puts all these teams and players against each other the convos are subjective.
What holds LBJ back is that he is nice guy. He certainly has the skill of Jordan but he does not have the mentality and that is why LBJ does not have 7 or 10 rings. If you notice most NBA superstars today do not have that MJ or even Kobe mentality. All the superstars are all nice to each other. You see superstars from different teams going on vacation with each other. In the Jordan Era you would never see that because players really hated each other.
@@karkha2894 ur right about the mentality . But unified/friendly players are better for their bank accounts in the end as franchise loyalties and on court hatred of the past only served the ownership groups by keeping players assotiations power down
Shaq was in shape while at lakers, maybe 04 he got a little chunky but being like 7 feet tall lol, it must be difficult to not be massive lol... he’s not built like javale Mcgee
Matteo Wise Shaq was out of shape the beginning of every season from 2000-2004 lol. That was one of the biggest issues the Lakers always had with him, yet he still did his thing but he wasn’t discipline back then.
Facts him & tmac was the same, they only relied on their size & talent. And did enough to by the workouts, makes me think about what if they woulda have the same drive as Kobe
Jakob Tenwalde excuse? Shaq and Kobe has only three titles in doh Le the time together and had a HOFer coach, LeBron has a average coach to win 3/3-2/3
Henry Josue Sanchez Zelaya they won 3 rings in 8 years together. And 3 peated.... both have 5 total. Lebron has 3.... in 16 years... but yeah go off😂2 of those being with Wade(already won a ring and FMVP) and Bosh who averaged 20-10. Stop hating on Shaq and Kobe man😂
Frames Bond 2010-11 he played 76 games shot 50% from the field and averaged 25/5/6 year before that was 09-10 was 26/6/5 and averaged 33/7/6 in the playoffs. The 11-12 season ill give to lebron in the reg season but in the playoffs Wade averaged 23/4/5 on 46% year after that 16/5/5 on 46%. So while yes he was “declining” he by no means was “carried”😂
The year the Magics knocked out Bulls is the same year MJ returned to basketball from baseball(first retirement). Dude returned in March, don't forget to mention that Nick!
Played no more than 17 regular season games and as few as 12. Nick trying to act like it was a full season and he wasn't rusty. Like they didn't come back the next season and sweep Shaq's team.
Don't forget that nobody at the time said he was rusty and that they complained because he had the advantage of fresh legs. Don't forget that the only reason they won the next year is because they added Rodman to guard Shaq.
The Wayist and bc.. Jordan was better.. he shot 41 percent in those 17 games he came back for? Nowhere near his 50 percent average for his career. You look at his playoff numbers and he didn’t shot that great and had lots of turnovers. You ask any legend to come and play 15-17 games in the regular season and go to the playoffs right after, they’re not going to play as well as they would if they had a full 65-82 games. So no, the only reason wasn’t bc they only added Rodman, but it was a big reason
I mean u just never know what's gonna happen . Klay won't be out the whole year and gs will be making moves as well because they know what's at stake so I mean you just really don't wanna count them out just yet! But the rockets being a threat to the Lakers? I don't think so. Its either gonna be GS or the Lakers in the finals imo
I understand why he said that. The only one who will surely miss next season will be KD. Klay will be back by February/March so he should be in shape come Playoffs. Also, they still have Dray (who should be motivated after his sloppy turnover fest) and Boogie (who should be waaaayyyyyy better than he was in the Finals due to being fully healthy and back in shape by the time the season starts.). That'll give GS time to adapt to being without KD and learn how to maximize Boogie. They won't be as good as with KD, but they'll still be a favorite to contend by the end of next season. Save this comment.
Shaq kills every interview. Mostly I remember the funny ones. But when it’s time to go deep he go deep! What a cool guy. Interesting to hear an experienced guy talk about this madness!!! Wonder how next season plays out.

Agree2Disagree Yeah a fight for the pelicans to get the 10 seed
Kasra Mahabadi
Boy the Lakers don't even have a team lol
Everybody know Lebron is wounded prey and AD has a 80% chance of getting hurt. The league is about to gangbang the Lakers lol!
@@cntfoolmebuddy , Correct.
Fr, I could honestly see Zion out-muscling AD.
Dont overhype it!
"It's only money" - Shaq 2019
This segment is why i always loved Shaq is honesty & insight of the game. People forget Shaq supported a young Kobe but Kobe always wanted to be his own man. Joining an already playoff team than a superstar one of the top 6-8 players in the nba by 1996. They won & he always gave everyone credit. Every superstar or legend does like or doesn't do that
Shaq already know Kemba coming to LA
Arcell Mcgowan I hope not
Arcell Mcgowan kemba already said he wants to resign with the hornets
Love it! Welcome kemba😆
I like how Shaq said to Nick that he and Kobe where both dominant during that threepeat
Moonwalker King2423 what’s he supposed to say
@@kalix975 he called out Nick on his bs narrative that Kobe wasnt dominant on that run
Moonwalker King2423 LOL so you actin like kobe was dominant
@@kalix975 and he wasnt? Tell me who made the key basket in those runs when shaq fouled out who would carry the team in fourth? Who would guard the best player on the other team hence Jason Kidd, Reggie Miller and AI it was Kobe the dude basically average nearly 30 a game in those playoffs runs give him his props and stop hating like Nick Wrong

love your show guys, wish it had a better time slot so more of us could catch live.
“You’re getting 40 and 20” “yeah that’s true” 😂😂😂 Shaq is a goof
that ending lol!
Love how Shaq paid respect to the “others”. The stars get the credit while the “others” live in silence.
3:09 Going to watch that immediately. Shaq is the most dominant center in NBA history.
Shaq is a national treasure. He keeps it real and bases his opinions on logic. Love his stories about the old days...that story about his interaction with Jerry West was gold!
Nick the commentator thinks LBJ is the GOAT. While Shaq, who competed against MJ and against and with LBJ thinks MJ is the GOAT. Who are we going to believe, the former great or the commentator? All the basketball greats say that MJ is without a doubt the best ever but commentators think they know better. lol
Cesar I am sure that majority of the players that played against Kareem and Mj would say Kareem is better . Era and the time people gre up dictate someone’s opinion on who the best is. At the end of the day , unless we figure out time travel and puts all these teams and players against each other the convos are subjective.
What holds LBJ back is that he is nice guy. He certainly has the skill of Jordan but he does not have the mentality and that is why LBJ does not have 7 or 10 rings. If you notice most NBA superstars today do not have that MJ or even Kobe mentality. All the superstars are all nice to each other. You see superstars from different teams going on vacation with each other. In the Jordan Era you would never see that because players really hated each other.
@@karkha2894 ur right about the mentality . But unified/friendly players are better for their bank accounts in the end as franchise loyalties and on court hatred of the past only served the ownership groups by keeping players assotiations power down
@@joelav91True dat
mcgusjustice really?but magic said mj is the goat.
Nick wrong what happened to shaq in 1996? He got swept by Jordan. . .
Nick Wrong with his usual omission of fact 🤦🏾♂️
Anybody else think it was ironic Shaq was tahmbout “everybody get in perfect shape, kuz we runnin” 👀😂
Shaq was in shape while at lakers, maybe 04 he got a little chunky but being like 7 feet tall lol, it must be difficult to not be massive lol... he’s not built like javale Mcgee
Magic and kareem🤔
Matteo Wise Shaq was out of shape the beginning of every season from 2000-2004 lol. That was one of the biggest issues the Lakers always had with him, yet he still did his thing but he wasn’t discipline back then.
@@johnwinning5724 he said hack a shaq took its toll so during the offseason was burgers and pina coladas
Facts him & tmac was the same, they only relied on their size & talent. And did enough to by the workouts, makes me think about what if they woulda have the same drive as Kobe
Totally agree with Shaq, "GSW Stephen-Klay" best duo now, proven, ....King-AD is pending.
Nick Wright is such a Lakers fan boy. Unbiased journalism 👍🏼
Nope. He's a LeBron fanboy. Don't confuse the two.
Molly makes me sick to my guts I can't believe ESPN really tried to Me Too Lavar smh
Shaq knows who's the 🐐 to save the world! Nick was happy for half second, then NAAAAA!🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO nick got son'd by shaq at the end.
😂😂😂💀
Matt Kandi I like how Shaq checked him for trying to disrespect Kobe.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 shaqs a fool 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shaq was on first things first wtf
Always enjoy a Shaquille O'Neal interview.
You know he’s getting 40 and 20
...
That’s true.
What a badass lol
Timestamp ?
Nick Wright asking the importance about having a great coach so he can use it as an excuse for lebron. Just wait lol
Jakob Tenwalde excuse? Shaq and Kobe has only three titles in doh Le the time together and had a HOFer coach, LeBron has a average coach to win 3/3-2/3
Name a championship coach that won w/o lebron and name a hof coach
LeBron can be the coach, the coach just has to let go of the ego food.
Henry Josue Sanchez Zelaya they won 3 rings in 8 years together. And 3 peated.... both have 5 total. Lebron has 3.... in 16 years... but yeah go off😂2 of those being with Wade(already won a ring and FMVP) and Bosh who averaged 20-10. Stop hating on Shaq and Kobe man😂
Frames Bond 2010-11 he played 76 games shot 50% from the field and averaged 25/5/6 year before that was 09-10 was 26/6/5 and averaged 33/7/6 in the playoffs. The 11-12 season ill give to lebron in the reg season but in the playoffs Wade averaged 23/4/5 on 46% year after that 16/5/5 on 46%. So while yes he was “declining” he by no means was “carried”😂
Respect to shaq for staying real
“Let Kobe get it the whole fourth quarter” 😂😂
this is the very very best first thing first segment that I have seen since the show been out big shout out to Shaq diesel
Shaq.
Stephen A.
Uncle Shannon.
Can I get them on 1 show. Things would be booming
Throw Sir Charles in too🤣
The year the Magics knocked out Bulls is the same year MJ returned to basketball from baseball(first retirement). Dude returned in March, don't forget to mention that Nick!
So what? He dropped 55 in the garden after he came back. They lost, stop making excuses...
Played no more than 17 regular season games and as few as 12. Nick trying to act like it was a full season and he wasn't rusty. Like they didn't come back the next season and sweep Shaq's team.
@@veksone77 no excuses. MJ was still better than most NBA players but not the best. He was still too rusty. The following season he returned to form.
Don't forget that nobody at the time said he was rusty and that they complained because he had the advantage of fresh legs. Don't forget that the only reason they won the next year is because they added Rodman to guard Shaq.
The Wayist and bc.. Jordan was better.. he shot 41 percent in those 17 games he came back for? Nowhere near his 50 percent average for his career. You look at his playoff numbers and he didn’t shot that great and had lots of turnovers. You ask any legend to come and play 15-17 games in the regular season and go to the playoffs right after, they’re not going to play as well as they would if they had a full 65-82 games. So no, the only reason wasn’t bc they only added Rodman, but it was a big reason
Shaq and Scottie Pippen should have a show together. Closed Captions required.
Love Shaq! Great person! Even better personality! So funny!
Great questions made! Congrats first things first
that handshake at the end tho 😂
Did Shaq not watch the Finals? KD is out for the year and Klay is most likely out for the season. He said "...GSW is still the favorite. " 🤔😭
I mean u just never know what's gonna happen . Klay won't be out the whole year and gs will be making moves as well because they know what's at stake so I mean you just really don't wanna count them out just yet! But the rockets being a threat to the Lakers? I don't think so. Its either gonna be GS or the Lakers in the finals imo
drey, steph, boogie
Are they not coming bck
I understand why he said that. The only one who will surely miss next season will be KD.
Klay will be back by February/March so he should be in shape come Playoffs.
Also, they still have Dray (who should be motivated after his sloppy turnover fest) and Boogie (who should be waaaayyyyyy better than he was in the Finals due to being fully healthy and back in shape by the time the season starts.). That'll give GS time to adapt to being without KD and learn how to maximize Boogie. They won't be as good as with KD, but they'll still be a favorite to contend by the end of next season. Save this comment.
Because a champ recognizes another champ. They know Raptors would not have won if the Warriors were 100% healthy. That's facts, no excuses.
Anyone:
CC: I impregnated Lebrons mother; been knowing him since he was a fetus.
Matt Man who’s CC
@@isaiahwalsh4587 cris Carter
SportsLegends who tf is that
Isaiah Walsh The mans on shaq’s right. He was an NFL wide receiver for the Vikings and is in the Hall of Fame.
Isaiah Walsh Bro who tf are you?
Did Shaq teleported from First Things First to First Take?
Both in NY and 1st things 1st airs at 6 am and 1st take airs at 10 I believe
The fake out handshake at the end is classic!
Shaq kills every interview. Mostly I remember the funny ones. But when it’s time to go deep he go deep! What a cool guy. Interesting to hear an experienced guy talk about this madness!!! Wonder how next season plays out.
Woah let the guys get on the court first before mentioning champions lol.
Props to Shaq for shutting down LeNick Wright about Kobe being the second tier player in their first championship.
I mean thats obviously true and holds true through the entire three peat but Shaq was not there for the disrespect....
Shaq leading the front office would be 🔥... and then give Snoop an office too 🤣
Gotta love Shaq...great sense of humour, great storyteller!
Lmfaoooo!!! Chris roasted Shaq and Shaq got em back good!!! Lol! Hilarious!
