Mitchell Rauma Kareem was amazing forsure but early 00s bulked up shaq would be a huge problem for anyone ever from any era... Kareem was slim ... 2000 mvp shaq was what shaq should've been every yea but his work ethic and dedication was lacking and kobe called him out on it and shaq got pissy
kenpachiclay11 people seem to forget how unstoppable shaq was .. shaq use to destroy Duncan inside... shaq got lazy and that's what cause kobe to question his work ethic... kobe and shaq only had 1 true year that kobe truly let the game flow thru the diesel and it was beautiful the 01 playoffs and finals . .. they sweept prime duncans spurs and the loaded kings and blazers... kobe and Shaq would feast in today's watered down small ball shit .. Phil would slow the game down and feed the post and shaq would destroy these small bums of today
I'm convinced that the reason they put the zone in the league the following year was because of Shaq & the Lakers dominance, this game is a prime example of that
Even an older Shaquille was a beast. One of the greatest, perhaps most underrated Centers in NBA history. He would have been something special back in Kareem's or Wilt's era. Never seen a huge guy so agile as Shaq was
44 points, 21 rebounds 7 blocks and 4 assists. Those numbers are insane. The only player I'd take over this prime Shaq is jordan. He was 3 blocks short from having a triple double that was 40+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 10 blocks. But still. 44 points, 21 rebounds, 7 blocks and 4 assist.
They were the West Coast Magic Shaq and Beans and the Lakeshow smh. Imagine if Penny joined that team in the summer of 1999 wooooooo damn man crazy they would have won 73 games instead of 67 wow
This was best Lakers team and NBA team of all time as good as Sacramento was they still got swept like the spurs that year Lakers went 15-1 record and Kobe said they beat any team in NBA history
RUMPELSTILTSKY this shaq in this video is the most.dominant force of the modern era... kobe and shaq only had 1 true year where kobe played thru the diesel and tbey sweept everyone... kobe was slightly selfish all he had to do was play thru shaq and tbey easily win from 00-06 ..
Joshua Haynes no center back in 2004 was close either you guys need to get your eyes checked and stop thinking every thing is better in the past. And in today's NBA DeMarcus cousins is more valuable to a team offensively. Cousins is a way better passer ( even tho Shaq is a good one too can shoot) a better shooter. While Shaq cant shoot two free throws to save his life he would get hack a Shaq every time and will not be able to play a full game if he throws elbows and everything. Don't get me wrong I know what Shaq can do and I know that he is better than boogie for sure.
@@lewismcrae4672 He wouldn't have the endurance to avg 50 in any era. Wilt had way more endurance than Shaq. And handchecks don't faze big men. The no handchecking thing disproportionately helps the guards, discourages the need for a big man. And w/ all the heavy-zones, wide open play and lack of conventional sets being played today, he just would not see the touches he'd need to consistently get into a heavy rhythm, even if he got to play w/ an unselfish wing like Lebron. He'd still be a very good asset, cause he'd crash the boards, get dunks, block shots, nobody would be able to move him, but he lacks the range + mobility necessary in today's game to see the ball often enough, to lead the league in scoring. Phil Jackson was expandable in New York cause no one wanted to run the triangle anymore, and then same w/ Jeff Hornacek, cause no one wanted to run the UCLA heavy 1/4 pick-&-role anymore every possession down the floor. Hakeem Olajuwon would be much more effective than Shaq in today's game, cause he actually had the mobility of a small forward to get out of traps, switch out on guards, and make plays out of nothing; could also be an affective face the basket player from 18ft & in. I think that Olajuwon would actually have enough skill to extend his range out to the 3pt line to be an okay (not prolific) 3pt shooter. Shaq can't even be an okay free throw shooter.
I'd take this version of shaq 00-01-02 over anyone ever... when Phil showed up in 99-00 he challenged shaq and shaq responded with a mvp season and he bulked up .. heck nobody could stop shaq in the 90s really .. hakeem was a veteran and shaq was young but Shaq still averaged 26-14 ... but shaqs 3 finals mvps in a row was complete dominance .. the man averaged 38-19-5 at 61 percent thats absurd .. kobe had it made ... u can replace kobe with LeBron or Jordan and shaq was still the go to guy in the earl 00s . He is the most dominate inside force of the modern era
@@joshuafult84 Perhaps. He already was a good passer out of double teams by his sophomore season, something he struggled at his rookie season, though he never was one to force the issue, contrary to his image. 94 was the last season of his basketball life that he was in his youthful frame too. By 95 (yr. they went to the Finals vs. Rockets), he already was looking closer to his Lakers overwhelming behemoth-self than to that of while super bulky, gazelle type when starting out w/ the Magic at barely 300Lbs. As his shoulders widened, he became even harder to handle inside, but no longer could do the baseline spins or run the floor almost as great David Robinson. Still better than most, but not like an elite running & nimble center.
@@arsonhakobyan that's not true. In 2000 shaq was the best version of himself because Phil challenged him to get into great shape and he had more experience.
Even though this series was a sweep the Kings gave the Lakers a much more competitive series than the Spurs did which was surprising considering how dominate the Spurs looked that year.

That was why they won 67games the yr before, but just 56games this yr. 01' was the 1st season Kobe came into training camp demanding to be a #1 option so he could avg 30 like Jordan. They were just lucky to put their differences aside and get hot towards the end, and run into a bunch of teams that were in turmoil, underperforming, and/or injured, and then a Sixers team that was arguably the worst to ever make a Finals. 01' was the season Kobe stopped letting the game flow through the Diesel.

44, 21,7, 5. And iduots come on here and talk trash. Sometimes i think if shaq aveaged 300 points and 200 rebounds a game ppl would still point out he missed a free throw.

@@joshuahaynes7128 He may have averaged 40/20 in 00' Finals w/o Phil taking him out early in 3 of the games.

am i the only one who's gonna ask the real question? why did Shaq go bald early in his career? i've seen countless footage throughout his Lakers years where he obviously has hair but its just cut extremely low and usually a lot of men do this when their hairline goes to shit so they just decide to keep the rest of the hair cut low, but Shaqs hairline still looks pretty good.

Henry Tran shaq use to own Duncan on the block . .. but i agree tho kobe was the man against the West teams .. kobe and.shaq is the most talented 1-2 punch ever
1995 dream would get bodied by this version of Shaq , in 94/95 finals Shaq stil averaged 25/14 against prime peak Hakeem , Shaq in 95 was still young and slim , he wasn’t bulked up mvp Shaq yet ..
No it wasn’t , your thinking about 02 lakes vs kings playoff series …. This was 01 lakers vs kings playoffs - 01 Lakers swept the kings and swept prime Duncan’s spurs , swept that good Portland team that has pippen,bonzi,sheed Wallace , Damon staudmire, Steve smith , blazers had a lot of good players in the early 00
pingKING94 it's easy to see ... shaq haters like to say hakeem shut shaq down in 95 but shaq still averaged 28 and 14 but hakeem was a veteran and shaq was still super young and his body wasnt close to early 00s shaq.. this shaq would own any center ever on the block period
I cant believe people compared Dwight Howard to Shaq haha ... shaqs past prime down years was like Dwights best year.. when did Howard ever averaged 25 plus a game? Shaq was a 28 and 13 guy all thru the 90s and then he's peak was 00-01-03-04
@Joshua Haynes shaq was the most dominant force of the 21st century there's no denying that. But shaq laziness, poor freethrow shooting and the clutch factor is why im taking kobe over him. And another thing is shaq needs someone to get him the ball kobe (or any elite guard really) doesn't need that.

at 1:17, I thought SHaq always shoot about 60% from the field, why is his field goal percentage so low?
Free Throw 48 pct and the FG is 60 pct
+Enjoy Pistons no dipshit 62%free throw pct. and 48% field goal ..
Anthony Lee because against west bigs like Duncan, Robertson, etc . kobe was that guy in the tough playoffs
Henry Tran shaq use to own Duncan on the block . .. but i agree tho kobe was the man against the West teams .. kobe and.shaq is the most talented 1-2 punch ever

LOOK CLOSER
Duncan was more consistent ALL AROUND WHILE SHAQ WAS UP AND DOWN.
From FG, FREE THROWS, ASSIST, STEALS, AND BLOCKS DUNCAN WAS/IS BETTER. PERIOD.
Whatever Shaq can do DUNCAN CAN DO BETTER.
The only REASON Shaq made it PAST SPURS WAS BECAUSE OF KOBE. IN 2001,2002
1999 Duncan 2nd SEASON. ELIMINATED PRIME SHAQ AND GOT A RING AND FMVP
2001 KOBE PUT ON A CLINIC
2002 KOBE STEPPED UP AND CLOSED OUT FOR SHAQ.
Duncan>>>>>Shaq
The kings needs 1995s big dream to help.
1995 dream would get bodied by this version of Shaq , in 94/95 finals Shaq stil averaged 25/14 against prime peak Hakeem , Shaq in 95 was still young and slim , he wasn’t bulked up mvp Shaq yet ..
This was the missed calls game 👀
No it wasn’t , your thinking about 02 lakes vs kings playoff series …. This was 01 lakers vs kings playoffs - 01 Lakers swept the kings and swept prime Duncan’s spurs , swept that good Portland team that has pippen,bonzi,sheed Wallace , Damon staudmire, Steve smith , blazers had a lot of good players in the early 00
@@teddyhaynes9876 My bad homie ....Good looking out 🗣️
i dont care what anyone says, best center ever...
pingKING94 it's easy to see ... shaq haters like to say hakeem shut shaq down in 95 but shaq still averaged 28 and 14 but hakeem was a veteran and shaq was still super young and his body wasnt close to early 00s shaq.. this shaq would own any center ever on the block period
@@joshuahaynes7128 100% they always bring up a baby shaq losing to Hakeem but never the fact Hakeem only won championships when Jordan retired
Somewhere, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is laughing at this statement 😂
9:48🤷🏽♂️💪🏽🙈🤝🏀😭🥇🍾🏀👏🏽
Can you dig it?
This is Wilt Chamberlain career
Chris Webber looks like hes a Wayans Brother.
the real superman...
Hulk*
I cant believe people compared Dwight Howard to Shaq haha ... shaqs past prime down years was like Dwights best year.. when did Howard ever averaged 25 plus a game? Shaq was a 28 and 13 guy all thru the 90s and then he's peak was 00-01-03-04
Imagine if he made the dunk at 4:13
Even lebron never got to this level
4:26 listen to commentator. he know whats happen
kobe fans rank him over this beast is laughable
What you talkin bout?
2000 finals:
Kobe = 15 ppg on 36%
The most dominant individual performance in NBA finals history.
Kobe w/o shaq has 2 chips and 2 fmvps. Shaq w/o kobe 1 chip 0 fmvps. Case closed
@Joshua Haynes shaq was the most dominant force of the 21st century there's no denying that. But shaq laziness, poor freethrow shooting and the clutch factor is why im taking kobe over him. And another thing is shaq needs someone to get him the ball kobe (or any elite guard really) doesn't need that.
@@dejon18 Kobe didn't win by himself. He needed Pau Gasol just as much as he needed Shaq.
LA Shaq got away with a lot of offensive fouls
1:06 Ayo 😭😭😭
Who Wins 2013 Miami vs 2018 Warriors?
Warriors . But it be a 6/7 game series , but neither of them teams would beat the 01 lakers in a 7 game series
i think zaza can defend shaq with his dirty tricks... poor shaq
