@@ImUseless88 Do you happen to realize that basketball is a collective sport, right? Being the best player on the team is kinda irrelevant, because without the rest of the team, you're not gonna win shit. Ask Allen Iverson how it feels.

@ Like I said if you aren’t the best player on the team I don’t give a damn about what ur talking about! All teams have co stars or role players that’s irrelevant but number 1 is the big dawg and that’s the bottom line. I celebrate the 1 and you celebrate the 2 nothing wrong with that
Shaq wasn't so bad in a Celtics jersey as much as it was wrong to see him in a Celtics jersey. That's how I would put it. Cavs, whatever. Miami Heat, sure. The Lakers' fiercest rivals? That's how you know the plot has officially been lost. Several great players have played for both over their long histories, but nowhere was it more *wrong* than here.
As a Celtics fan I was like "Why are we doing this?" and little to do with the rivalry as much as it was with how washed he looked. It was hard to watch.
@gerimayawhyte154 Exactly. Odd take: Why do I think that it would have benefited every party involved for Shaq to sign for the Magic instead? He brings his career full-circle, he gets to play for a contender, and both Dwight and Shaq get to attempt to quash their beef that would last for the majority of the Diesel's post-playing career.
@@nicholastricarico2957 Yeah, that could have been nice but Shaq has too much pride for that. For as much as Shaq likes to dish out criticism he seems pretty ticky tack about how much he takes and from who as in evidence with his beef with Bill Walton.
@@urbaindelva7869lmao right, the celtics just built a championship level team consistently since he was a rookie, and they’d expect He’d go a dumpster fire that is the lakers organization
The move Shaq did after the alley oop is called “high stepping” and it used to be popular amongst football players in the early 2000s, Deion Sanders made it popular by doing it while defenders were still trying to tackle him lol, but his (Shaq) was a unique version of it, I can’t remember who it was, but their was an elite pass rusher that used to do it slowly after sacks similar to how Shaq did . It just looks weird because Shaq was so big and out of shape when he did it 😂 usually there’s more emphasis on bringing your knees up and taking higher steps as you walk off. But you can tell that’s what he was going for by the way he was trying to swing his arms in sync with his steps.
So, back when I was in high school, I got to see Shaq in Boston against the Nets and I still have the video posted on my TH-cam channel where he hit two clutch free throws in the 4th quarter, which blew my mind in the moment because you know... Shaq shoots with Steph Curry's precision from the free throw line... 🤣 BUT it was a memory for me and on top of that, he was surprisingly the leading scorer from that game with 25 points and even added 11 rebounds for a double-double like y'all mentioned in the video! And yeah... He scored more than KG, Pierce and Ray Ray that night... Now he was definitely washed at this point in his career BUT I got to see him play really well in person one last time before he officially retired. So in my mind, his Celtics' tenure wasn't a waste just cause I got an amazing memory from it! 😂😄 ALSO! I always thought Shaq chose number 36 because his birthday is 3/6 but apparently he chose 36 for some other reason that I don’t recall. BTW! Link to the video if y'all wanna watch back when I used to record videos with potatoes instead of our amazing 4K camera smartphones we have today LOL. th-cam.com/video/m6qZHwWo82I/w-d-xo.html
I love superstars that are past their prime and joining a team that straight up makes you wince at how wrong they look wearing that jersey. Hornets Tony Parker Warriors/Spurs CP3 Cavs Dwade Cavs Drose And Melo literally every team after his time with the Knicks
It wasn't so much that Shaq was terrible (Putting up decent role player numbers at 38 is a win), just that it was kinda embarrassing that the Cavs and Celtics would try to hype the signing as though he was still MVP Shaq.
At this point in his career he was more occupying space and playing some meaningful minutes but his dominant days were far behind him. But you still had to deal with him.
He actually played well for them and when he was on the court + fully healthy they were the team to beat in the east. The problem was that ainge traded away perkins and therefore the team was gonna be relying heavily on shaq for the remainder of that year which simply wasn't practical given his age. Once he suffered the Achilles injury it was over for both him and that particular celtics team for that season.
if you watched the Celtics with Shaq that year, he was actually really good in his role and a massive upgrade over Kendrick Perkins (which says a lot since Perk was 12 years younger) but he sustained an achilles injury that ended any effective, winning basketball he had left
I'm a Celtics fan and I was watching my championship team disintegrate in front of my very eyes. Watching Shaq who was more like Shanty Shaq at that point was kinda hard to watch. I hated it ever time he hit the court.
Celtics fan since 07 Celtics didn’t bet on shaq Perkins was going to be a free agent and they offered him an extension but it wasn’t enough because of salary restraints with the big 4
I gotta say I agree with most of the video but Shaq was terrible on Inside the NBA for years before he finally settled in. He was not the missing piece at all, the show was already of the best shows in sports TV history with just Ernie, Kenny, and Chuck. The show went from great to fine with Shaq then back to great again, but it took a few years
Damn so if the Celtics didn’t bet on shaq, Perkins would’ve stayed a Celtic and not been traded to okc. Without Perkins contract on their payroll they would’ve been able to sign James harden to the max he wanted. Shaq killed a dynasty by signing a minimum
By the second year in phoenix he was done…wish he stayed in Miami in a UD/Alonzo role, but he was too big of a celebrity and had too much ego to do that.
Was shaq at his time from the celtics bad ? No debate . Yes . He was overweight and almost amassed 400 Pounds . Injury Prone and his legs are so bent up like he was wobbling from the court trying his best to stay on the floor alive . Shaq would've made more productive years if he was healthy , he could've taken kobe's advice .
Yes he was. Although he may have had a few good individual games, he only played in 37 games, 20 mins/game, averaged 4.8 rebounds/game and averaged 9.2 points/game. Pretty pathetic numbers. He should have retired before Phoenix traded him to the Cavs.
Shaq was basically ring chasing at that point because he just witnessed Kobe win his 5th ring, which is more than Shaq's 4 rings.
Shaq paved the road for David west in the future of ring chasing
Shaq was the best player on 3 championship teams and Kobe only 2 that’s game
If you weren’t the best player on the team it means nothing!! If you want to celebrate robins go take it down the road

@nicholastricarico2957 😂
As a lifelong Lakers fan, seeing Shaq injure himself while running up and down the court in a Celtics jersey was depressing.
I’ll feel the same way when Tatum leaves us for the lakers in a few years
@@TherealtreDo you know how bad things would have to get in the Celtics organization for Tatum to leave?

Shaq was ALWAYS productive…when he played. Later on in the ring chasing part of his career he was just always injured
Yup my favorite center of all time for sure. Underrated footwork too, as youngins think he only dunked on mofos back in the day
bingo. He was playing well for the celtics but he simply broke down at the end.
The best nba channel by far😮💨👌

Cavs Dwade
Cavs Drose
And Melo literally every team after his time with the Knicks
Can you guys talk about some NBA journeyman like I didn’t know that Isaih Hertensein was on so many teams
That alleyoop is the only highlight from Celtics Shaq
It wasn't so much that Shaq was terrible (Putting up decent role player numbers at 38 is a win), just that it was kinda embarrassing that the Cavs and Celtics would try to hype the signing as though he was still MVP Shaq.
I could be wrong...but I have a hunch that this was them trying to find a way to trash the Celtics
Yall know synthetic sports arnt celtics fans
That he was just 1 year removed from making an All-NBA team is definitely the most uncanny bit about celtics shaq
You guys need to make this a series. If you need a suggestion, try T-Mac on the Knicks or Ewing on the Sonics.
" if that shaq was superman then that one was clark kent" - synthetic sports
At this point in his career he was more occupying space and playing some meaningful minutes but his dominant days were far behind him. But you still had to deal with him.
Found you guys recently and you guys made me wanna tune in into the NBA again, started watching it more than ever, love your content!!!
As a Celtics fan, I never expected a video about this 😂
Thankyou for making this guys! Great work
LeShaq on Cavs was tuff asl
Dominique Wilkins on the Celtics is the best washed meme
He kept playing. His final year was the lockout year. I cant say you're wrong. Meme is meme. But why not San Antonio or the aforementioned Magic?
That was a fun Celtics team with Shaq, Nate Robinson and Jermaine O’Neill
Ive never been this early before. Feels like being at school when there are only 6 kids around in the morning

Great vid guys love your content❤
pray this channel never goes into a celtics shaq phase
5:46 Shaq is my favorite player so hearing these are his good numbers hurts my heart
1:19 someone needs to make a Celtics Shaq edit with All of the Lights🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow I didnt remember Suns won that many games when Shaq was there. Such a forgotten tidbit
if you watched the Celtics with Shaq that year, he was actually really good in his role and a massive upgrade over Kendrick Perkins (which says a lot since Perk was 12 years younger) but he sustained an achilles injury that ended any effective, winning basketball he had left
Love y’all please make a video on the Magic this season
Not going to lie, I thought today's video was going to be "NBA players we're most thankful for." I didn't expect this.
Shaq should’ve humbled himself and went back to Miami during the big 3 days. The 5 position was a major issue.
I'm a Celtics fan and I was watching my championship team disintegrate in front of my very eyes. Watching Shaq who was more like Shanty Shaq at that point was kinda hard to watch. I hated it ever time he hit the court.
Greatest notification of all time
What’s crazy is how they talk about how shaq wasn’t all bad considering his age, but lebron is the same still balling tf out
Celtics fan since 07 Celtics didn’t bet on shaq Perkins was going to be a free agent and they offered him an extension but it wasn’t enough because of salary restraints with the big 4
You mentions KG nets at the end. Can we get that next?
“Google me Chuck!”
So Everyone Got On Lebron For Joining The Miami Heat That Season Meanwhile Shaq Join The Team He Lost To In The Playoffs 🤔🤔🤔
Go Back To School Learn How To Write.
Phoenix do have something about their training staff. Shaq obviously, but also old post injury kd are playing Thibodeau minutes and being just fine.
Alright I was not expecting this vid lol
Can you guys make a video about the 2005 Seattle SuperSonics
now we need a nets paul pierce and kg video
Short answer: Yes. He was unmotivated, easy ring chasing & plagued by injuries🤣
When 15 pts 8 boards and a block a night, is you at your worst?
That says a lot
gotta talk about Magic in Sweden next
Shaq actually wasn’t bad in Boston lol. He was a decent center even at 40. It was just nasty to see him in a green jersey after being a Laker god.
Celtics Shaq was good in 8-10 minute clips that season.
4:32 I mean when you have 18 rings there´s a lot of players to give credits
Shaq embarrassed himself in the last couple years it was sad, the worst was I’ve seen him do that dance with the Phoenix Suns at the all star game
He wasn’t no Miami Shaq but he was good on the suns
@@nvm9040No he wasn't. Shaq was overweight and terrible on the Suns. Sun were dumb for letting Shawn Marion go for Shaq.
shaq going to the celtics was an abomination
He was actually decent from what i remember til the injuries crippled him for good
Now do Garnett on the nets
I gotta say I agree with most of the video but Shaq was terrible on Inside the NBA for years before he finally settled in. He was not the missing piece at all, the show was already of the best shows in sports TV history with just Ernie, Kenny, and Chuck. The show went from great to fine with Shaq then back to great again, but it took a few years
That’s the end of the video. That’s the end of the video.
Best channel on TH-cam
I like to use Celtics shaq as a benchmark for how fat chuck is getting lmao
Damn so if the Celtics didn’t bet on shaq, Perkins would’ve stayed a Celtic and not been traded to okc. Without Perkins contract on their payroll they would’ve been able to sign James harden to the max he wanted. Shaq killed a dynasty by signing a minimum
It would’ve been cool to see Kobe and Shaq one last time if Shaq returned to the Lakers in 2010
Your editing on the last cpl videos at least has had one or two repeated lines. In this one you said “that’s the video guys” twice in a row
I guess you could say that Shaq's time on the Celtics wasn't "outstanding."
By the second year in phoenix he was done…wish he stayed in Miami in a UD/Alonzo role, but he was too big of a celebrity and had too much ego to do that.
Nets kg video next?
That team was going to win it all if not for injuries to all The bigs
Was shaq at his time from the celtics bad ?
No debate .
Yes .
He was overweight and almost amassed 400 Pounds .
Injury Prone and his legs are so bent up like he was wobbling from the court trying his best to stay on the floor alive .
Shaq would've made more productive years if he was healthy , he could've taken kobe's advice .
He wasn’t that bad but you can tell he’s way past his prime.
Bad? No. Good??? Nah ..m. Mid ? Yeah
For sure
Wait, Shaq is the worst part of Inside the NBA.
Yes he was. Although he may have had a few good individual games, he only played in 37 games, 20 mins/game, averaged 4.8 rebounds/game and averaged 9.2 points/game. Pretty pathetic numbers. He should have retired before Phoenix traded him to the Cavs.
A washed up Shaq is still a huge guy with decent skills in the paint.
