Orlando Magic was stupid for not giving Shaq what he wanted.
Overconfidence (that they'd be fine w/o him); one of man's greatest flaws
@@zerocal76he’s not wrong, Orlando could’ve afforded a max but they got cheap and thought Shaq was loyal enough too stay. They picked up grant hill just a few years after and tried to get Duncan
@EliCarlos-mv2iv well I never said he was wrong, just gave another reason besides stupidity on why they made that big mistake. But thinking of it again, Shaq had such a huge ego. It was bigger than Shaq himself Maybe they didn't want him there bc of that
Amazing yall can't see the truth behind entertainment. If Shaq doesn't go to LA, we wouldn't have the Kobe worship that we have today. Why do you think Jordan & Lebron mostly had great teams? You fans just refuse to connect dots.
@@benyah3390 we aren't dumb. We know things are manipulated. But w that reasoning you're saying nothing that's very entertaining happens without being decided beforehand and thats impossible. Shaq was in Orlando for 4 seasons already and he was impatient and egotistical. The Magic made it clear before the contract negotiations they weren't dying to keep him there
As a Magic fan, I was hurt by this. I understand business as an adult now & Shaq knew his worth
Shaq didn’t even know his worth at first. He was ready to accept 80 million until Alonzo ended up with an over 100 million dollar contract. Then Shaq said oh ok I want 150. It was the first time contracts went that high. The league and Orlando were caught way off guard
The Magic only were willing to pay once it looked like the Lakers would get him.
When he asked for $120 million the Magic put a survey in the local paper to ask if fans thought he was worth it.
They said no and that made him sign with LA.
Once ownership knew he was about to sign then they were willing to pay him.
They dragged their feet and they low-balled him. Had they simply come out and told Shaq they were committed to him and were going to make him the highest-paid center, he definitely stays.
You might say it’s from “Disney world to Disney land “😂
The moment the Magic beat Chicago in 1995, it waa the beginning of the end for Shaquille O'Neal.
@MrAce-lm8es so is Horace Grant lol
lol, why do you say that?
@@SeanUCFHUH, you mean the beginning of the end of the Magic. Shaq 3peated as champion with the Lakers alongside Kobe 2000-2002. Y’all idiots would say ANYTHING without thinking.
@@Theterminato2013I think you responded to the wrong person
@@Theterminato2013you tagged the wrong person bro
Hated when he left penny
Nick Anderson.........one of the highest jumpers i ever seen in person......ask his teammates.....incredible hops 🏀🏀
Not really
Yall Lakers fans should be wearing that Jerry West nba logo proudly cuz if it wasnt for him then the dynasty would have never been.
Pride comes before the fall. The magic has been falling ever since.
Magic were in the Finals and contenders with Dwight.
@@hitek9too255 With the master of panic as head coach. Contenders that lost.
at least they made finals. Coming from t wolves fan bro
@@mankivigs1 it’s crazy how the 09 magic team got a W in the finals but not the 95 team💀
I like how you added the hip-hop east vs west coast beef that was occurring at the time.
Lol
Makaveli da Don 👑🐐 For Life
Horrible example, because the opposite happened in real life. Pac was cool with bad boy before he went to Deathrow.
This hurt so bad
GM shoulda got the pink slip not giving Shaq the bag.
What in the "Pimp" World is that Shirt Penny got oN??!! That was those Late 90's-Mid 2000's Steve Harvey Look!! 🤣
I remember watching Shaq do an interview with Schick Hern during halftime of a lakers game while he was still in college. He spoke about how he always wanted to play for the lakers when he was a kid. When he got traded to the lakers it made sense to me, Shaq was always a laker. I’ll admit that I’m biased but I STILL don’t consider Lebron a laker, he’s as much of a laker as Gary Peyton and Karl Malone are in my mind. I know that isn’t actually related in any way to this video but as an ex lakers fan it saddens me to think of what he’s turned that franchise into.
He signed as a Free agent
Yes
Yo ngl comparing LeBron to Lakers gp and Karl Malone is disrespectful as he'll when he is a all time laker
@@YNEForpres when I think of GP I think the Seattle SuperSonics, when I think of Malone I think of the Jazz. When I think of Lebron it certainly isn’t the lakers that I think of.
@@andyward8430 Bron got the same amount of final maps as Jerry west and Jerry didn't win
Orlando would've easily made back that money!!!!
Fire video bro. First time on here old school ball is the best
Management wants high production for little money, then act shocked at the "selfishness" of the employee. Don't matter if it's the NBA, schools or Dunkin' Donuts.
Great comment
Wow you could tell Penny was hurt seeing Big Shaq in purple and gold😳
chuuch!!!!! Speak on it my guy!
iDont think heard ya. thats a double side dagger for someone who had heralded as the new Magic......on a team with the same name.
Now do y'all see why Shaq needed Kobe 🤷🏾♂️
if Shaq had stayed & Penny stayed healthy, with a few more pieces Orlando could've been a dynasty
That Poll was FULL of Jealousy or Lies!!! How'd it Work without Shaq???
The Orlando Newspaper did a survey asking the public should the Magic pay Shaq..the Majority said no..Shaq was pissed...
It’s hard for the magic to say they made Shaq just cause they drafted him ….any team would’ve drafted him regardless….magic are lucky he stayed that long
I think rookie contracts were 4 years so he wasn't a free agent till then.
Shaq spoke openly about growing up wanting to be a laker.
LOL, Lucky he stayed that long? He was under a contract. There was no luck involved.
Bro a rookie contract is 4 years he was bound to dip out a some point unless he got an extension
@@yoitsSmitty2004
Sure he could have left at some point in the future if hadn't left when he did, but saying he's lucky for staying on a team while he's under contract is just stupid since he literally isn't allowed to leave if he wants to play in the NBA.
As a laker fan i was thinking the magic wasn't going to let the big fellow walk but long and behold it happened and the rest is history.
Shaq was never staying In Orlando. He wanted to be Hollywood. They had their time with him and almost won it all.
Jordan was dominating the east, it was smart of Shaq to go out west
The Magics squeeze the health and future out of Penny Hardaway by leaving him by himself.
penny was KILLIN em wit that black and white stripe button up!!
Looking at NBA contracts right now, $120 mil for 7 years of Shaq is dirt cheap 😂
It was a lot of money back then
Yeah and a small bag of chips used to cost twenty-five cents. Now it's a dollar twenty-five. Times change along with things.
@@damienkirksey7026 So true.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e The 90s were fun
@@younglove3362And can sodas were .25.
If teams do not give NBA superstars what they ask for or close to it, this is what happens.
Damn Kenny Smith caught a stray! 😂😂😂😂
Just like LeBron James, they want to play with a big market team. Same for Kareem Abdul Jabbar
It’s funny how the big market teams give the player what they want u would think it would be the other way around
@@bandzyoloHow can you even ask that question? A team like the NY Yankees makes in 1 month of TV revenue, sponsorships what would take the Kansas City Royals YEARS. This is a water is wet type of argument...Of course the bigger markets have infinitely more resources.
Just remember that it took Shaq 4 years before he won a championship with the Lakers.
When Phil Jackson arrived, everything changed😊
Shaq cold
You ever left a job for more money?
I didnt know that Shaq was a Q Dog (Omega Psi Phi)0:42
He used to do the hand gesture after he scored a lot, at least early in his career. I was in middle school when Shaq came into the league and I vividly remember kids doing the same celebration after scoring with no understanding of what it was or that it was a fraternity thing. They just knew they saw Shaq do it. Damn being a kid is the best.
I was a magic fan in la nick penny 3D and Shaq wat a team good ol days I remember nick anderson stealing the ball from Jordan 😢
Hot Take🔥: Even had Penny not battled injuries during his prime, I don't think he ever would've became a number 1, on a championship team. He had the talent, but he wasn't an alpha.
Shaq never looked as good a laker than he did with magic, the shoes shaq attaq/shaqnosis looked more athletic and yellow didn't suit
Those 3 rings suited him just well.
What happened with those Orlando Magic? MJ just destroyed them 🫡
Hakeem & MJ
Yea but they broke up because of mj...shaq wanted to get out of the east.@DeTAYL.
@@jonoak that's cap
@@jonoakHe left because Orlando wouldn't give him a respectable contract
@mireiyokoyama1983 he sa8d out his on mouth he had to get away from mj...
Um...you made this without watching Magic Moment on espn+???
I LOVE SHAQ!!!!!!
You’ve gotta pay Shaq. Magic messed up 😂
facts! and they kept fcking up. look what penny had to deal with/ and the roster constructed around him.
not to mention, remember he got shot?
@@LarrySwishamane who got shot ?
No mentioned of Kobe at All.. just chilling on the bench 😂
Pretty sure 8 year old me in Orlando’s cry at the time lol.
Man, I do miss those lil Penny commercials:”it’s Tyra Banks fool!”
My man called Kenny Smith washed up😂😂😂😂
Orlando would’ve won a a couple of titles with that roster smh
MJ helped a whole lot to move Shaq to L.A.
I feel like this is another Big Franchise stealing rings from a Small Franchise moment 😐
But also, when you have Jerry West, etc LA makes a lot of sense
Must have the culture around the franchise to capitalise on generational talent like Shaq
It reminds me a lot of LeBron
Cleveland wasn't doing right by him
I have Jordan over LeBron, but the gap would be smaller if Cleveland had a Jerry Krause making moves and a Phil Jackson coaching LeBron
I don't like that Shaq left, but I do understand it
I also felt like Shaq wasn't wanting to contend against MJ once MJ returned
But it took until 2000 for Shaq to win a ring anyway, so he could have stayed in Orlando in that regard
Thank you for the video
In the case of Cleveland, being a small market is onky half of the story. They are also the 2nd worst run organization by a landslide. Yt has several documentaries and its really hard to believe how incompetent the Cavs have been for 90% of their time.
@@J.A.Z-TheMortal do you have the name of any of these YT videos on Cleveland?
Then they should’ve paid him.
😂😂 was this the game where shaq slapped Ronnie Sykley upside the head on a fast break.
Yup… the whole Orlando magic org should of been fired for not giving shaq wat he wanted.. ain’t been right since
Aside from a 09 finals appearance and a few playoff appearances I agree
1996-97 Magic were far from futile. An exaggeration made to emphasize the loss of SHAQ. 97-98 Magic were 41-41 with Penny out for all but 15 or so games played. They were still a strong team thru 1999 of the Penny era. The Magic were robbed of a dynasty bcuz we recognize that Orlando even without SHAQ were still a strong sum of parts around him.
Matt Harpring and Dominique Wilkins were Orlando Magic too
Bo Outlaw. They had and added nice pieces around Penny just like they did Penny and SHAQ. Darrell Armstrong.
Percentage normally go behind the numbers.
Shaq wasn’t gonna stay in Orlando lmao….he really the one that started the unfaithful leave while you’re in you’re prime 💩
Orlando wouldn't had won the championship anyways, because Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls ruled the eastern conference.
Thanks to David Stern
No team was winning the championship as long as Jordan was playing, Chicago beating Indiana and Utah proved that. Jordan had the will power and determination
@@user-ll2nd5mp7x
Orlando DID beat Jordan and the Bulls and they could have done it again. No one in the east had an answer for Shaq. Nick Anderson was a good guard on Jordan and Olrando was loaded with shooters. I will admit that no one was going to beat the 72-10 Bulls, but other years it was possible.
@@SeanUCFYou fuking delusional if you thought the Magic would beat the Bulls in 1997 or 1998. They got their asses whooped and swepted in 1996 ECF. The Heat and Pacers put up much better fight against the Bulls during the 1997 and 1998 ECF than the Magic did so they would of lost to one of those 2 teams both years.
The analogy in the beginning was off. Should’ve said it was like Biggie leaving Bad Boy to join Death Row. Since Shaq left the East to go to the West.
7 years 120 million back then was a rich deal
Now in 2024 7 years 120 million is ordinary. Time changes everything
🚫 enough from the SQUAD or Team.. Thank*You..
That’s 105 % smh
Nick Anderson = Andre 3000
I've always said that!
Shaq was jealous of Penny Hardaway...The fact that Penny was just as Great of a player as Shaq back then (1995-1996) He couldn't accept it because Penny was getting respect from MJ and Magic Johnson so Shaq didn't like the fact that it was looked at as Penny Hardaway team even while he played... It's similar thing with Kobe! It was a pattern if you noticed...Kobe was the most talked about Star player out of highschool by 1998 when he made it to the All-Star game and started...Shaq didn't like the fact that both Penny and Kobe got more love while he was considered to be the Leader of the team who averaged the most points... It's like he didn't grow up and would be childish in a sense because the young Stars were getting just as much attention or even more than him
the fact that penny and kobe was his robin..
YEP, 🚫 talkn* bout nothing*
Shaq probably would have had eight rings if stayed in Orlando. That team was championship ready and it's quite possible they could have beat Jordan and the Bulls in the playoffs again like they did in 95. It took the Lakers 4-5 years to build a team around Shaq and even then, their competition from the east wasn't that great great until they lost to the Pistons in one of those finals.
That being said, it amazes me how stupid the Orlando fan base was to not realize Shaq's worth. I remember having friends that said "all he does is dunk". Even if that were true, a dunk is a score which is the goal of the game, so I don't see how saying "all a guy does is score" was ever supposed to be a criticism. Orlando should have given Shaq the deed to Disney World if that was what he wanted. Alas, it's all history now.
Come on bruh, no one was beating MJ and the Bulls in the 90s during their 2 3peats and got embarrassingly swept in 1996.
Orlando Shaq could dribble coast to coast.
@@RobertBallz so could lakers shaq
@@Theterminato2013
I do agree the sweep in '96 was embarrassing and they wouldn't have beaten the 72-10 Bulls in the playoffs, but I do think the Magic would have only gotten better and would have continued to be contenders and could have beaten anyone in the years that followed.
Mj came back who didn't scatter got injuries that's a fact Jordan had the whole league shooked up ,i have more respect for guys like Reggie Miller Patrick Ewing and guys like that who stayed with teams tim hardaway latrell sprewell guys like those came from the west to play in the east that was the thougher conference back then .
This guy say Orlando fla is the east coast tf it’s down south
Florida is on the East Coast bruh it's considered Southeast
@3;50 WHY ANOTHER PLAYER GOT SHAQ NUMBER 33 ORLANDO WAS SENDINGBAD VIBES
Shaq was really arrogant and disrespectful to any and everybody back then, i know he looks back at his old self and cry, i saw him totally disrespect Craig Sager on Live TV during the All Star Weekend, but I'm glad he's grown to be a older, wiser person.
Naw it wasnt that bad 😂 i get the tupac leaving bad boy but joining diddy? Naw its like pac leaving and joining master p label.
Yeah if Shaq would have stayed with the magic,it would have been no championships because magic team would have had to endure two more years of losing to the bulls before they broke up or getting beat by an up and coming pacers team, plus Penny got hurt somewhere in 98 or so and that team would have fell apart,and if he went to LA after the ealy 2000s Kobe wouldn't of had none of it but we'll never know
how many points would shaq average in this era.......yall cant answer that.
Imagine Chet or Wemby trying to defend Shaq.
@@RobertBallz what about embid or Ad u picked two kids 😂.
@@Sosakdash he saying that because they skinny as shit but they been adding muscle but the metabolism is a killer problem, Embiid and AD are both injury prone but I think embiid could maybe give shaq a little bit of a problem, AD can’t play center he’s much more of a PF but then yet again half the time he plays like a guard, embiid does too but he’ll bully his way to the point if Nick said “Embiid get in the post” now he’s injured, shaq would average 35
@@yoitsSmitty2004 y’all don’t put the defense in effect…. Shot clocks are faster and ShAq would spend lots of energy guarding perimeter. He would not be as effective both sides
Why these players back than had bald heads everyone had bald heads
East Coast vs. West Coast? Tupac leaving Deathrow for Bad boy? Orlando is not people's definition of the East coast!
so didn't Kobe sign when Shaq came it wasn't no mention of him
Kobe was drafted before Shaq got there
Shaq came after Kobe got drafted
Never forget...MJ swept shaq to the west coast
From what I seen look like Magic could offer shaq half the world 🌎 he wasn't coming back I believe shaq was jealous of penny about who team it was and got in his feelings then bounce it no amount of money that the magic could offer shaq that he would of stay and if so, he would used another excuse like oh this player or organization could of did this to make me feel better etc etc he was leaving regardless especially when certain people that getting into his head.
Orlando Would hv 3-5 Championships had they Pa$d Shaq!! if Penny Stays Healthy they'd hv between 4-6 Championships!!
No one was stopping the bulls during that second 3peat, early 2000s is up in the air
@@yoitsSmitty2004 Maybe Maybe Not. Maybe the Bulls Only get 2 Rings but they were done by 98' So again Prime Shaq & Penny would've just been getting Started. 99' Would've been Shaqs 7th yr in. Penny's 5th or 6th. The Lakers Definitely Not 3 Peating without Shaq there.
Pieces = Kobe Bryant
Let this sink in......Orlando had shaq, Dwight howard, and Tracy mcgrady. What a dumb franchise!
Tracy couldn’t perform in the playoffs and had injuries but dude was still a bucket, never knew why they made Dwight walk
Wow! SHAQ was underpaid based off today’s figures 🤦🏾♂️ (I know this was back then) I just feel like they could’ve paid him a bit more

Shaq would not have won a nba title
But he did, 4 of em
traitor.
You ever leave a job for a better paying one?
I can answer that...yes. Great point. I taught in Detroit schools for over 14 years...many while being classified as a long-term sub. The district started offering teachers with outside teaching experience up to 12 years credit on the salary scale. I asked and they said "NO" because they did not count my service years as a long-term sub. I left and immediately took a $13,000/yr raise. That new district helped me move to a district closer to home with the same pay. They were sad to see me to, but totally understood my situation. Now in a year and a half, my salary will nearly double from what I was making in Detroit when I left. Like Shaq's move from Orlando to LA, it was a business decision. On addition, it is the factor of respect, and LA gave it to Shaq where Orlando matched it only after a reactionary move...
listen I get ya, the teams will not match your loyalty to them but only in extraordinary circumstances like some kinda Magic Johnson/kobe/larry bird type career situation. and don't be loyal to your college either if you lose billions or millions in the nba bc you got career ending injury they won't be there to help your family! Carson Wendtz was the only guy in north dakota we got that was on the upper level of QB position in football and helped his team to the super bowl , got injured and was off his original level of play after that...luckily for him everyone was sure he was destined for greatness and he got a 200 million dollar contract....thank goodness for his family they kicked his ass to the curb!!! @@lousanto1054
4 championships
@@NebraskaPoliceDepartment
Shaq would have 8 championships if he stayed in Orlando. He barely won 3 as it was in LA. The teams that LA beat in the Finals were weak.
And then the Lakers all of a sudden wanted to give Shaq a pay cut so therefore.. he went to Miami Heat.
