@@wintertruncheon7876 did you have a top 2 highest scoring game of all time and 5 chips? When a team knows your the mf that’s gonna shoot every shot, and they make every single shot difficult asf for you your not gonna be a 50%+ shooter, the fact he shot 44% is impressive in and of itself.
@@TheFatherof2 We are talking about SIGNATURE moves! Not chips, etc. You fools make arguments complicated. MJ's fadeaways are more efficient than Kobe. Even Durant's pull up jumper is better than Kobe's fade in terms of efficiency. If I were to rank signature moves (particularly fadeaways), I would put MJ at 1, Dirk's fadeaway at 2, and Kobe at 3.
I love that Dirk is so humble, genuinely honest. Shaq was a beast. But there is one interesting fact: Dirk scored more points in his career than Shaq did. Both those guys, great players...from back in the days of great basketball!!
@@dominikali9419 Laughing at someone’s dumb comment is “sensitive” to you?…..or is it just that you couldn’t find a way to disagree with what said and couldn’t find something better to say.🤣
But this is why Dirk has so much love by the who’s who - cause he wasn’t scared or shy with goin out and trynna win by playing hard on both ends of the floor. And he was a walking bucket !! I honestly think he would have been a better fit with Kobe than Pau was ☝️
Pau had better defense but not by much. It was the offensive side of the ball where Dirk was far better. Kobe even mentioned that he respected Dirk a lot for his work ethic. The both of them most likely would have gotten along pretty well
@@Ace-Ace1 Dirk was great off ball as well and did not need tha ball much in his hand. He would have had crazy efficency as second option on a team with Kobe.
Maaan people are saying that they wanna see: M.J. vs LeBron all the time. I know there are different eras but there is nothing I would rather see then: WILT vs SHAQ. people would be running out of the building for sure
yeah man, I was saying that just the other day. That'd be awesome. And it'd have to be during Shaq's era though so that Wilt is allowed to throw some strength around and bully back
This is why it blows my mind when I see PJ Tucker or Draymond Green playing center. I know its not too many if any centers nowadays similar to Shaq size, but a lot of teams don't seem to exploit the size advantage when they have it.
Dec 5 2001 Dirk finishes with 33 and 14 Shaq gets 46 and 15 Bradley would go scoreless in only 11 minutes played. Lakers win 98-94 after a comeback. Mavs were up 79-75 going into the 4th (and 55-48 at the half) when Shaq carried the Lakers with 13 points. Kobe, Fox, and Fisher were the only other scorers and would combine for 10. The Lakers would go from halfway through the 2nd until 4 minutes in the 4th without the lead. In the last 6 minutes, Dallas would make 1 shot and 2 free throws with the Lakers going on a 13-4 run. Dirk would go 0-2 fg and 1-2 FTs in the final 6 minutes while Shaq would go 3-4 fgs and 2-7 from the line. Hack a Shack worked. But maybe Dirk wouldnt be rundown trying to guard Shaq and would have hit his shots at the end of the game.

Shaq was the goat. I've never seen the league so terrified of one player like shaq was. For about 5 or 6 years shaq owned the nba.

Kareem skyhook, Dirk fadeaway, and Shaq's elbows are the most unstoppable moves of all time

Fr. Dirk did it the old fashioned way he was killing everybody that year in the playoffs
I love how accurate these guys memories are to the plays. Video goes to show it
Probably etched in there lol with other great memories of playing hoops
Dirk had 14 rebounds to Shaq's 15
Don’t be negative lol 😂
They remember who cooked them
DIrk showing the humility that endeared us all to him. A terrific player, but an even better human being, if you can imagine that!
It takes a special kind of person to have all the money and fame Dirk has and still be down to Earth. This is why Dirk's legacy will never fade.
I love the honesty and gratitude
Shawn Bradley was a walking punching bag😂😂😂 I swear he ruined my childhood as a Dallas native😂😂😂

Dirk is a humble guy
Yao was prob the only one that stood a chance against Shaq.
Muresan had his moments against Shaq as well
Yao stood way more than a chance and u forgot another 1 THE DREAM

Dirk is being humble again.
Dirk seems like the perfect human😅😅
The most I've ever heard Dirk speak honestly lol😂
Everyone talks about the GOAT arguments, but peak Shaq was unstoppable.
Dirk a real one for sharing that story. They couldn't deal with Big Shaq.
Proud that you tried 😂❤

Shaq is a different breed
Shaq easily could have been the GOAT if he had Kobe's work ethic.
And Kobe cuda been the undeniable GOAT if he had Lebron’s rest and recovery routines
Straight facts
@@rashardjones97 kobe played hard every night...wasnt in his dna to load manage but i get your point
Kobe himself had his work ethics but is not in the GOAT conversation.
Half of kobe work ethic would have got him 1 possibly 2 more chips😢

Dirk guarding Shaq is like Shaq having Bratwurst and Schnitzel for dinner
They canceled each other out because Shaq never had a chance in hell guarding Dirk

The humble great Super Star
I love how many videos there are of NBA players just showing respect for former adversaries
Shaq we’re playing Dallas.
Shaq: Cool BBQ Chicken Wings please
That just reminds me of I think the water boy when the coach is like "its gonna work" then turns an says "oh god please let it work" 😂
Such a nice guy
He had the height. He didnt have the size. But he did a damn good job.
Can we take a second to appreciate that guards in the early 2000s we’re great at entry passes? Kind of a lost art in the modern game
Shaq was so good at getting space in the post.
Shaq was a beast -- just so big and strong.
Dirk has almost no accent. Sounds like a native speaker

He basically caused two offensive fouls and the refs never called it on him…..
Every other team fan understands.
I think I actually remember those games and yeah Shaq played like he took that personal lol
The definition of "No Plan Survives Contact with the Enemy."
love nowitzki
Never been a force in the modern era like Shaq. Hakeem was still a more complete center but Shaq was unstoppable.
Shaq being Shaq.
Dirk humble. This dope!
I can only imagine what Dirk was feeling when Coach Nelson said, ""Ok, you're guarding Shaq."
UNGUARDABLE
Dirk would have been amazing in this era
They let him get away with throwing elbows and pushing off though thats what made it harder to guard him
Everybody had there favorite players the mikes the brons the Kobe’s 👀👀this man here was mines🎉🎉🎉🎉 the lean beck flamingo floater 😂😂😂
Denis Rodman "hold my bear"
Shaq Prime sounds like a transformers character who changes from basketball player to car insurance salesman lmao
"Ok, do a spinning off balance jump shot fadeaway with your leg kicking out forwards."
Don Nelson, between sips of coffee
If it wasn’t for Shaq in Miami, Dirk has two 🏆
I hate how they don't mention Shaq as one of the GOATS!!
because his reign of dominance was too short.
If that elbow hits your ribs then you'll be out for a season 😂
Most Dominant Player
You guard Shaq…. Wait I sprained my ankle…
Shaquille O'Neal was the greatest offensive Fouler of all time.
Bro your talking about prime shaq. No one could stop him back then.
Legend d
Shaq is the only player consistently who gets 'tripled team' on the post and still puts up great numbers. He's very underrated in assists too. 😂
The coaches were literally telling centres if shaq gets the ball in the paint dont do too much, you get out of the way to avoid injury
Shaq casually cooked two 7ft players (one of them is 7’6)
its insane how colossal shaq is. imagine if he could shoot
*Dr. Evil finger quotes* "Guard Shaq"
People keep saying Shaq was a force never seen before. Is Wilt a joke to them?
Hahah well that plan... Didn't work.. 😂😂😂😂
That's Don Nelson for you.
He only had 100 pounds on him, and Bradley, combined
one elbow big boi backed off out of bound 😂
Big Strong Bradley 😮 😅
This was the day Dirk found out he doesnt like BBQ chicken. 😂
