07:00 "People did not grow that tall back then."
He's talking as if basketball was played in prehistoric times.
terrible reaction how old are these dudes?
lul
There were guys bigger than Shaq but he was quicker and stronger. Bradley, Muresan, Arvydas, Yao, ...
As if human evolution underwent some dramatic change in the last 50 years. 😁😁😁
Go look at the avg height of an NBA player in the 60s vs 80's vs 00 vs 20'
Theres a diffetence, Yall need to vo to school
there was a time when a 6'7 Dennis Rodman held the 7'1 shaq to 0 points in a half😂
Rodman was a different beast!
Rodman is the man
Rodman one of the best defensive players of all time pound for pound.
Woulda never happened to Kareem
There was also several times when shaq gave Rodman 30+
The Irony of homies argument that “Kareem never did that” is back when Shaq was doing this people argued he had no true skill and was simply just bigger and stronger than everyone else and played bully ball 😂😂😂.
And FYI Kareem didn’t “play in the 60’s” his rookie year was 69-70 and dude was getting buckets until 1989 lol. He literally missed shaqs era by 3 years!!! 😂🤦🏽♂️
It's tragic that the young fella doesn't know how unreal Abdul Jabbar was. It seems he overvalues athleticism, I mean are we going to forget how a shorter, smaller Olajuwon absolutely dismantled Shaquille with skill, to win his second championship? But hey, what do we know right....
@@mikehammer1777 i think they listen to JJ Redick and think it was all plumbers and mailmen
@@adamframpton2573: It’s such a dumb comparison. Like nowadays 3rd graders know more about the world than Plato and Socrates ever did. But that doesn’t mean Plato and Socrates were dumb 😂 Just a different era. They’re still GOATs
But I think it feels extra dumb for this situation bc Kareem is actually LEGENDARY.
That’s the thing, hard to compare players from different eras by simply inserting shaq from the 90s into the 70s. Imagine if Kareem had the same training and nutrition that shaq had? Kareem was dominant in his era and shaq in his.
@@mikehammer1777 "Dismantled" is a huge stretch. 5 more points, 3 less turnovers, and 2 more steals per game is not a "dismantling". Olajuwon took 10 more shots per game and had a worse fg%, and Shaq made more FT's a game than Olajuwon even took. That wasn't individual difference, it was a team difference. Sam Cassell randomly having 30 pts off the bench in game 2. Robert Horry avg'd 18/10, Clyde Drexler 21/10/7. 3rd year Shaq and 2nd yr Hardaway did what they could; but that was like Howard vs the Lakers.
Guy in left is so confident in everything he says that generations of tall men are having doubts about how tall they are.
His annoying asf
Every video he’s in he says something so wrong
@@bodyserviceshop5627 its the confidence he says it with that gets to me
I actually try and find vids he’s not in. Dude is so annoying with his overly confident but wrong bs he says.
What's funny is the average height in the NBA was taller back then, than now 💀
Dudes talking about the 60s like they're the medieval times. "People didn't grow that tall"
*There were no athletes"
C'mon bro...
Ralph Sampson 7'4"
Artist Gilmore 7'2"
Robert Parish 7'1"
Wilt Chamberlain 7'1"
Hakeem Olajuwan 7'
Bill Walton 6'11"
Patrick Ewing 7'
Moses Malone 6'10
All dudes Kareem balled against.
Exactly….. acting like there are no 7 footers back then
Kareem and wilt in THEIR PRIME played against Sampson Gilmore each other that was it. Ewing olajuwon etc weren't in their prime yet wilt retired and Kareem was past his prime but had a unblockable shot and magic to rely on, Shaq era was called the land of the giants
As a Matter of fact… They need To Do Hakeem Highlights and see what’s up… Damn the dunks… That man footwork made people look like fools… He gave Shaq the blues
@@Worthlesspieceofsh Kareem played untill what? 88-89 right? Ewing was drafted in 85, Hakeem in 84. Both as #1 picks, and they both started off the rip as different. Not only that there's ...
Joe Barry Carroll 7'1"
Bill Cartwright 7'1"
Tree Rollins 7'1"
Marvin Webster 7'1"
Elmore Smith 7'
Kevin Kunnert 7'
Jack Sikma, Darrell Dawkins, Jim Chone, Sven Nater & Bob Lanier all at 6'11". And these guys were all drafted in 1981 or sooner. Right in the mix of Kareem's career.
@@johnneymason1721 That's all I'm saying too bro. No one can take Shaq's dominance away from him. He might be one of the, if not THE most unstoppable players in history when he gets in his spots. But players like Kareem, Hakeem, even David Robinson...their games were just so much more complete. I mean teams had a strategy to get Shaq on the FT line because he shot like.... what....50% from the line?
Shaq, Kobe and Vince carter are why I fell in love with the game. Watching Shaq and Kobe play together are some great memories
When people say, "Don't be that guy" they are talking about the dude in glasses.
Exactly hes a know it all and don't know nothing
You guys have to watch a Wilt highlight, the guys were absolutely just as tall back then. We have all the recorded heights, just as many 7 footers in that era and there were way less teams.
Facts 7ft is 7ft and there actually really aren't that many TRULY GREAT 7ft players: Shaq, Wilt, David, Dirk, Kareem... idk if we can name more than 10 but regardless in any era of course thr 7ft dude is the biggest guy LOL he's just young he doesn't realize how different it actually was. Nowadays the centers can be 6'9 hell how tall was Ben Wallace? Was he 6'8? Rodman was like 6'8. Russell was only 6'9 and would hold Wilt while still jumping over other equally tall opponents.
The average player in wilts era were unathletic compared to mjs era or today's Era, every era has greats but the average player back then was a plumber
@@putitinreverseterry False narrative. I like how you added MJs era but we can say the same about the 90s. Less athletic compared to todays game and was also when the league expanded. We can paint the narrative that the 90s were full of "plumbers" as well
@@greg2797 Every decade they gonna say is a plumber… SMDH. Catch young people 50 years from now saying Bron and Shaq was playing against plumbers.
@@letitswissarmy sad, but at the same time when I hear someone start talking about another era was full of plumbers it’s an easy sign that they don’t watch games or tape. They are getting their opinions from others who don’t watch games lol shows their ignorance
“You ain’t stopping prime Shaq!!!”
*Free Throw enters chat*
Hack a Shaq, they called it.
Nope. He made them when they really counted. Go back and watch the tape.
@@grantdowling8550 then explain the 2010-2011 playoffs. Or why his clutch FT% was 50% (20/40)
@@bravetitangrizzly 2011? You're cherry picking his last season when he was way over the hill anyway? lol aight man
@@grantdowling8550 teams actually drew up a strategy of intentionally fouling him in clutch moments. That's a sign of horrible free throw shooting. That strategy can backfire once or twice, but it doesn't change the fact.
People always mention Rodman's rebounding ability, and rightfully so, but what they don't know is he was also the best defender in the league for awhile. From 1988-92 he was 1st team defense. '93 he was second team. Then 1994-96 he was first team again. Completely dominant down low for a decade.
Shaq was a power center who could also move and score with finesse, sometimes...Kareem was a finesse center who could go inside and dunk with the best of them, when he had to........different games....but we (Lakers fans) had them both....two of the best ever!
Right, moral of the story? They both brought chips to the purple and gold!!!!
Shaq is my starting center.. but the skyhook was the most ungardable shot in the history of basketball
Yep!
gotta say thharden step back and mj fade away too but sky hook number one
Did you really say hardens step back. If your move isn’t dominate in the playoffs it doesn’t count.
@@thatsright9473 I know you aren’t talking about big beards illegal step-back
Uh, fella named Wilt....
Breaking the rim was what Shaq was most famous for in his early days, he did it often. The NBA designed stronger rims because of him, now it's nearly impossible.
didn't zion break one? if they are nearly impossible zion is a scary dude.
Darrell Dawkins.......
Nah, Darrell Dawkins bro, not Shaq.
It was Darryl Dawkins who destroyed rims not shaq
That last dunk could have caused serious injury to Shaq or one of the other players.
Shaq the reason I started watching basketball as a kid lol. Dude was breaking basketball goals left and right
There's like three guys who guarded Shaq well in his prime. Guy in his prime, was damn near unstoppable. Shaq from Orlando through Miami was different breed.
Shaq got schooled by Hakeem Olajuwon in the 1995 NBA Finals (The Rockets swept Orlando 4-0) but by 2000-2001 Shaq was basically unstoppable.
Team game. Rockets had the much better team. Robert Horry is a winner.
Facts he schooled shaq
Absolutely
The Dream was Unstoppable !!
🤣🤣 ignore this comment
Shaq was 22, the best player on his team & averaged 28 13 6 & 2.5 Blks on 60%
Hakeem averaged 32.8 12 6 & 2 Blks
On 48%
Na bra they both balled
Y’all gotta react to Hakeem Olajuwon next
Shaq had the deadly combination of speed and size
Kareem was more graceful and finesse, and Shaq was just raw power. Kareem dominated for 20 years with the most unstoppable move in NBA history. Shaq doesn't fair well against big men that use finesse.
Yep: see Shaq Vs Hakeem in the 1995 finals. Pure and utter dominance by Hakeem. Hakeem showed Shaq he wasn’t quite ready yet.
@@ATrainInfinite Wtf type of nonsense are you spitting? Shaq put up identical numbers to Hakeem at 22 years old while being doubled constantly, Shaq was the best player in that series and that’s just a fact. Houston had the better TEAM.
Word, cause Tim Duncan gave him that work on many occasions.
@@enlightenmenttv2287 Wrong. Look at the film and numbers.
@@vinnypaolini9116 I did. 2003 1999, 2005. Looks lien domination to new. Hell if fisher doesnt bail then out in 02, Duncan would’ve outplayed shaq yet again with that game winner.
Bro always wanna argue 😂
Kind of ruins some videos
Shaq was such a unit that rules were added to the game BECAUSE OF SHAQ! Nobody old or new can stop him in his prime, nobody.
Watch the video of Wilt shaking Shaq's hand ;).
I was about to go to bed then this was on my feed!
Thanks gents. I enjoy watching your presentations.
One thing to consider is career free throw percentage. Kareem; 72.1% Shaquille; 52.7%
I agree there is no comparing players from different eras. But free throws can be used as an equal measure.
One player you might want to check out is "Mr. Basketball", George Mikan of the Minneapolis Lakers. Yeah, Minneapolis.
Wilt couldn't shoot free throws. Tim Duncan couldn't shoot free throws. It happens.
Wilt Chamberlain was basically a modern day Goliath he had speed size talent ,all of it.
I remember when Wilt met Shaq he bent down to shake Shaq's hand , he had to bend down to shake Shaq's hand. Think about that.
Wiltwas a monster man.
He towered over Shaq and he was like 60.
People often forget that Shaq in his Orlando days was pretty freakin athletic.
I was finishing highschool when Shaq was in his prime with the Lakers, as a Spur fan I remember the feeling of dispair each time Shaq was on the court, he was unguardable.
My dude, we felt the same way about the Spurs. I remember the battle..some won, some lost but always an epic battle
HAKEEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Dennis Rodman (6'9") and Ben Wallace (6'9") both locked Shaq in the playoffs. As for the domination Wilt was a whole different animal and played played against the ultimate stopper Bill Russell. (RIP)
Look at the record books and Wilt has his own set of records and Kareem is top three in points, rebounds and blocks
I'm glad the comment section knows whats up lol Kareem played against plenty of other 7ft players. The height thing is a misconception. Shaq himself knows and has said Kareem was better. Also you can't talk about Kareem's competition and act as if Shaq played against nothing but great Centers. Shaq peaked in a weaker era of big men. When he was in Orlando he played against some greats and had back and forth battles with them like Ewing, Robinson and Hakeem (who schooled him) But when he peaked in LA most the bigs were retiring out and all the talent moved to the PFs like Timmy, KG, Dirk ect.. Shaq was playing against some trash ass bigs. I don't want to disrespect Shaq because he is top 5 big man no doubt along with Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt and Bill Russel but if we going to try and say Kareem played against bad competition than Shaq played against worse. And you only saying that argument because you can't believe someone put up more dominant numbers than Shaq lol
Was on board until you said Hakeem schooled Shaq, that’s just complete BS lol. 22 year old Shaq put up identical numbers to Hakeem while being doubled constantly, Shaq was the best player on the floor but Hakeem had a better team.
Exactly. I've researched it plenty because I hate that argument and the avg height for those PF/C was actually slightly taller in Bill/Wilt days. Of course Wilt was the biggest because there just aren't many 7ft people period it doesn't matter what era we're talking about but they were consistently at 6'10 at those positions that's nowhere near the case today.
Look at Rodman and Ben Wallace like they weren't much taller than Magic Johnson(granted yes he was a hybrid because not many pg were that tall LOL)
But y'all get my point Ben was 6'9 and became 1 of the greatest defenders of all time and rebounders and he did it in Shaq era dude avg 15rbs at SIX FOOT NINE and Shaq never did at 7ft 1 and we've seen Ben play good D on Shaq.
But besides the Rudy Goberts aren't many 7ft let alone really good one's now dudes are playing C/PF at 6'7-6'8 every night. Draymond is the dedicated 4/5 at 6'6.... Kobe and MJ height 😳 that was not the case in Kareem, Oscar, Wilt, Russell days. There weren't 5'10 players either the pg's were taller than a lot nowadays, I won't argue that it doesn't necessarily mean 1 is automatically better than another because of size but the whole argument casual fans have about that is so misconstrued.
@@vinnypaolini9116 So you can disagree with me saying schooled (although Shaq says so all the time) but saying "22 year old Shaq" means nothing. He was in his 3rd year avg 29/11 on 58% shooting. That's not your average 22 year old. Shaq was also runner up for MVP that year. Shaq was not the only one doubled. Shaq was never known for great defense, they absolutely were doubling Hakeem as well. But they defended each other most of the time and Hakeem came out on top with a sweep avg 33ppg. That's getting schooled to me. Shaq was not the best player on the floor. That much was shown. Shaq says he couldn't figure out Hakeem and was the only big he faced he couldn't get the best of. Lastly, Orlando was a #1 seed in the East and went 57-25, Rockets were a #6 seed and went 47-35. Orlando were favorites to winning not the Rockets so no Hakeem did not have the better team. Penny Hardaway made all nba 1st team and Shaq made all nba 2nd team. Orlando had the better team and were favorites to win with the better seed, MVP runner up on their team. Penny btw avg. 25/8 on 50% shooting. Now of course Orlando ended up getting swept and Rockets obviously ended up playing better as a team in the finals but we not going to act like they were favorited and had the most talent
@@alexanderthegreat5649 yea dude in the glasses clearly don't watch ball that much or at least didn't back then. They even said they don't remember watching LA Shaq. Dude on the right said that he only remember Suns Shaq lol So they were going based on who's highlights looked more exciting because of dunks which is as casual as it gets. Yea that height argument is weak and so is the talent argument. I bet they couldn't even name most the people Shaq was booming on in this vid.
@@vinnypaolini9116 damn you’re a fanboy lol
In 01 Shaq was so big athletic and strong with a decent touch. He was unstoppable!! 7'1" 370 lbs of angry muscle...
Dude really watching a tape of Shaq dunking on Keith Closs and Ronny Turiaf while saying Shaq played in a tougher era lol. Kareem's highlight video showed him torching Wilt and Bill Walton
Shaq played against plenty of great centers too. Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, Mourning, Duncan (technically not a center but he and Shaq definitely went head to head), Mutumbo, Yao
@@Saul.2910 At his peak most of those guys were washed or not in the league/too young (Yao, Dwight) though
Seeing Shaq’s Orlando highlights makes me wonder how much better he could’ve been if he worked out, and worked on getting better in the off-season.
Kareem's game was all around better than Shaqs! For one Shaq would have a hard time stopping Kareem Abdul Jabar's skyhook! Plus you can't beat his longevity 23 years
@@dillivered he seemed pretty fine rebounding against wilt, Thurmond, and artis Gilmore who were all comparable in strength to shaq.
Don't forget Wilt Chamberlain - Several publications have argued that Chamberlain is the greatest NBA player of all time. He holds numerous NBA regular season records in scoring, rebounding, and durability categories; most notably he is the only player to score 100 points in a single NBA game, and average more than 40 and 50 points in a season.
Kareem was better than Shaq. It's not really disputed. Shaq would tell you Kareem was better. Kareem was the best high school, college, and arguably best NBA player ever.
Bill Russell
Kareem was the best player on only 3 championship teams. In 2 of those rings he was the 3rd best player. Career wise Kareem had a way better career because he actually only focused on basketball and stayed in shape. At their absolute highest level of basketball I'm taking shaq any day. The 3peat shaq was insane.
Don't listen to Adam. Many people say Prime Shaq was as good as anyone. Nobody argues Kareem is the Goat over Jordan & Lebron
Shaq says it himself
@@865style Kareem was finals MVP when he was 38.
Shaq was a complete MONSTER! No question the undisputed most dominant player of his era. I'm a huge Shaq fan. But understand, in Kareem's era he was THE G.O.A.T. in high school, college, and the pros. ALL THREE! NOBODY WAS CLOSE. For the young brother who looks at Kareem as just being taller than the players of his era, understand he was a superior athlete and was the one of the most fundamentally sound basketball players in history. By the way, when Shaq had a full head of steam going to the hoop, the 'smart' man would never contest for fear of amputation.
Penny Hardaway is another great one to check out. My personal favorite player of all time.
Shaq highlights should only be Magic and Lakers. Man was completely different. And low key, he had handles. I’ve seen him run the break coast to coast and drop dimes. Way more skilled than highlights show. And even though he was notoriously bad at free throws, he always said “I make them when they count” and he did.
My man with the glasses… There is def matchups for Shaq… He has gotten held in check by Rodman and Hakeem before…. Shaq can’t guard Kareem either….
I’ve been so fortunate to have watched Larry Legend, Magic, Barkley, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Iverson, King James, Giannis and so on….basketball been a huge part of my life forever & will be til I die!
Shaq could definitely be stopped. You're not gonna see it in a highlight video though! Hack a Shaq! Look it up because it was before your time. Shaq got shutdown MANY times when teams just put him on the line. He might have been the worst free throw shooter in NBA history!
Rodman shut him down
Shut down is a stretch. He has been SLOWED DOWN. And he has been momentarily stumped by guys like Rodman. But completely stopped? Never happened.
Hack a Shaq caused the league to change the rules about fouling players off the ball.
You’ve never, never, seen Shaq shut down
Wilt was, is and will always be the most unstoppable force in basketball. And he didn't just play 35 minutes a game like Shaq. He averaged for his entire career 45 minutes per game at a time the game was played at a faster pace. He was every bit as big as Shaq but stronger. Shaq averaged 11 rebounds a game. Wilt averaged 23. Shaq averaged 2 blocks a game. Officially they didn't start keeping stats for blocked shots until a year after he retired but unofficially there is data for 112 games in the final years of Wilt's career and they have him at 8.8 blocks per game. Every single year for the first 8 years of Wilt's career he averaged more points per game than Shaq's highest yearly average. Kareem played the longest and put up the most points, Bill Russell was the consummate team player and has the most championships of anyone and will always hold that record. Shaq is at least 4th in that line of greatest center ever.
Key phrase “final years”. Way past his prime and he was still a force defensively. His Lakers years were past his prime and he led the league in rebounds most of those years. Shaq would not stand a chance against a prime Wilt.
Dude was hating a bit hard on Kareem. He was proving himself wrong with his own points. It was a different era, there was no one that could guard Kareem him, and they didn’t have to shoot the three. All reasons he was great. In the style of play at the time, he was unmatched. He scored more point than anyone WITHOUT the three by being a dominant force under the basket. Yes Shaq would have pounded him. When he played it was in a different, physical era. They weren’t even dunking in Kareem’s time but that don’t make him as low to Shaq as he made it out. It makes Kareem the most dominant center of his time. He got rings and the most points.
Kareem had to bend down to shake Shaq's hand. Shaq looked up like , daaamn.
Why do y’all talk like Kareem played in the 40s? They definitely were dunking in the 70. Lmfao
Kareem had 6 rings and the hook shot is the most unstoppable shot in history
2:56 - "Nobody is stopping that"
Except Dennis Rodman, in 1996 (Prime Shaq).
The Bulls were down by over 20 points, led by Shaq with 23 points in the first half. Then...the Bulls put Dennis the Menace on Shaq.
Shaq only got 4 points for the entire second half, and the Bulls rallied to win.
prime shaq was the most dominate player i've ever seen at center. incredible hulk type shit!
With all due respect it's not hard comparing MJ and Kobe. Yes, Kobe has a similar play style but MJ did absolutely everything more efficiently and just flat out better. Kobe is not close to MJ.
Kobe is very close to Mike quit playing lebron isn't close to either!
@@toddbriones5679 Explain yourself
Idc what anyone says, the 1990’s was the best era of the nba.
The STARTING centers during Wilt's career averaged 6"11 in height. He was just better than everyone. One of the first plays in this video is Shaq dunking on 6'8", 340 pound starting center for the Suns, Oliver Miller. Wilt was the greatest athlete and player basketball has ever experienced. Bar none. Kobe even said he was number 1. NBA players don't even bother mentioning him because it is supposed to be left unsaid that it is Wilt, then everyone else fighting for number 1 under him.
*YOU'RE ARGUMENT IS STILL BAD!!*
🤣Y'all got me Dyin!😹
Shaq would dominate Kareem if they played against each other in their prime!!
Wilt Chamberlin and Bill Russell were absolute beast. Kareem had the unstoppable sky hook
Shaq played in the best era of Centers of all-times
No He started his career in the golden era of bigs but his prime was after all of those guys were gone. Kareem played against a wider selection of bigmen talent from the later 60s through the late 80s.

In any game!!!! Best of the best big men. I'm goin shaq all day. No fouls tho
Shaq was so dominant he was crazy
Wilt is stopping Shaq and every other player when it comes to force or physicality.

Thank you. If you watch, The bank shot that Duncan is known for, that was Wilt, Hakeem’s fadeaway that was Wilt, Ewing’s turnaround jumper, that was Wilt, Dirk’s one legged fadeaway, that was Wilt, and as you say the sky hook that was Wilt. George Gervin’s finger roll, that was Wilt, and then of course he was called the Big Dipper because he would often dip the ball into the basket versus dunk it. These guys don’t know what they’re talking about. Not to mention his incredible conditioning and strength. Shaq would be lucky to average 20 points on Wilt.
Let’s go with the Vince Carter highlights!!! IMO the best in-game dunker ever
🔥🔥reaction
never ever thought he was good or great at all...he was jumping 6" inches to dunk, he had 6" over most players and 100 lbs over most players...that would be like you playing against a 6th graders....yes you would dominate. anyone that was that tall and weighed that much and a little athleticism could do what he did.
That’s dumb logic. Don’t disrespect the diesels game like that. For one, u can’t say someone with his size and athleticism can do what he did because there ISNT ANYONE with that combo of traits. He’s one of one. That’s why he is who he is. Secondly, shaq was extremely skilled. A lot more than given credit for. His ability to gain position, his footwork at that size, his agility, his post game, jump hooks, back spins into lobs, black tornado spin, drop steps, pivot game , passing, etc. he had game. It wasn’t just his size that made shin great. U need to go watch shaqs thinking basketball episode and get that ignorance out of your head.
@@TheIcemanthomas facts...terrible free throw shooter,...one of the worst in the league...its like playing on 8 ft goal for him...easy. It would be like you playing on 8 ft goal against 6 grader and if say you would not dominate you are dumb. gain position bc he used his 100 lbs difference over his opponents.
Do Wilt Chamberlain and be amazed Shaq was the 2nd version of this man his achievements are a thing of dreams. His strength was unbelievable
Prime Shaq is GOAT. Too much power. An actual tank.
This sounds like the breakroom in every factory I have ever worked in lol
There were a hundreds of centers 6'10" or taller that Kareem played against. Some that come to mind include Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, Bob Lanier, Jack Sikma, Bill Walton, Caldwell Jones, Ralph Sampson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Mark Eaton, Tom Burleson, Swen Nater, Willis Reed, Wilt Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond, Walt Bellamy, Darryl Dawkins, Willis Reed, Sam Lacey, Patrick Ewing, James Donaldson, Otis Thorpe, Benoit Benjamin, James Edwards, Tree Rollins, Kevin Willis, Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer
You can actually use Kareem for the last shot of the game. Best unstoppable shot, and he can step to the free throw line and clutch.
I think I was like 9 running through the living room while my uncle was watching a game and I just happened to run by and saw Shaq shatter the whole backboard, it just rained glass it was crazy
Wilt was so dominant they made it a rule you wasn't allowed to dunk... Shaq couldn't stop wilt end in handcuffs...
Just the power of Shaq's dunks where incredible. Scary man in the paint.
anyone else noticed the awkward tension silence between leftmost dude n rightmost dude after they started throwin insults over a trivial topic lol
Love it if you guys would do a Clyde Drexler video. Jordan was so gigantic in that era that Clyde just got forgotten.
Shaq versus Wilt That'd be an epic matchup
Im almost 50 years old and Shaq is the most dominant big man Ive ever seen...period
Kareem and Shaq couldn't stop each other, that simple.
NCAA banned dunking for 10 years because of Kareem. So, what did Kareem do? Developed one of the most unguardable shots in history and went on to lead the NBA in ALLTIME scoring.... Funny thing about the comparison video, Shaq's mostly dunking, while Kareem's is mostly shooting and blocking :) Shaq is a beast, I'm taking Kareem...
Difference between Shaq and Kareem is power vs finesse and Kareem is one of 3 wit an actual goat argument
Watching SHAQ is like watching JONAH LOMU.. both players uniquely talented with size.. absolute freaks who made their sport look easy 👍👍
Shaq would break the backboards all the time they had to redesign them because of him!! He was a beast!
An epic video clip if ya'all could find it , when Shaq was at LSU , they were playing at Illinois , cant remember what year , but a 5"11" point guard Rennie Clemens took it down the lane and lay ups over the Shaq , its epic !!! You guys do a great job , keep it up !!
Y’all are young as hell lol. I watched this man in Orlando and LA
The crazy thing is, had Shaq trained as seriously as kobe, we would be talking about a probable/possible goat.
Next big man you have to do a reaction to is Hakeem "the dream" Olajuwon. Differently gave Shaq troubles whenever they played against one another.
Shaq was the most unguardable player in history next to wilt and mj. If u hold him to 25 u played great defense! Plus the refs let players assault him without calling anything! He was a different beast. Plus he was quick af in his orlando days!
Wilt was 7'2, K.A.J was 7'1, Shaq was 7'1. Bruh the disrespect you showing to the older players are ridiculous.
He said this man is using a video game to reference 😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️💯💯💯
The skyhook is the only unguardable signature move in the history of the NBA. Quit hating on Kareem like he ran your dog over when you were 9.
If I remember correctly Dennis Rodman did a ok job of guarding Shaq but thats one guy lol! Your boy is right, for all intended purposes he was unguardable. All you could do was hackashaq and hopefully tire him out after awhile. He was just too wide and strong. Best of all he is such a good person and thats what matters most.
My guy rocking the death race for love T 🙌 999 forever💜 rip juice
Shaq was one of the most powerful basketball players of all time, bute when it came down to free throws it showed his ultimate weakness...mental strength.
When Shaq played for the suns, he called himself The Big Cactus. :D
See case in point. This supposed to be Shaq's 50 best plays, and most of the offensive ones were dunks. Kareem's vid you got dunks, finger rolls, mid range, mid range off glass, jump hooks, sky hooks, whatever you want. If...IF Shaq had half Kareem's skill set he'd probably be the undisputed goat...but he didn't. He did have a decent jump hook though and he definitely would've punched one on Kareem at some point or another if they had faced off lol. Fun vid as always guys, keep it up.
You got to do Hakeem next
Kobe n Shaq..the best 1-2 punch in basketball history. I watched the MFing thing unfold. Those were the days 😎
Best arguments against older centers like Kareem is the ABA had some of the best athletes and the rules being different didn't allow for a lot of contact
Y’all need to do Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls ultimate mix tape
The goat
Shaq is the greatest “bully ball” player of all time. Look it up if you don’t know the phrase
"Hack-a-Shaq" was the strategy employed by most teams because he sucked at free throws.
Didn't change the fact that he still made so many shots with so many arms in his face and hands on his arms.
Prime wilt chamberlain would stop any center. Watch his highlights? Great videos always gents.
Early in Shaq's career, when he played for the Orlando Magic, I saw something I've seen just that one time. The Magic had the ball on offense, 4-on-5, because Shaq was late coming up the court. He built up a head-of-steam, running right at the basket. A teammate passed to him for a dunk, and it seemed to me that the opposing players just got out of the way of Shaq, instead of playing defense. Maybe that's not what happened, but it looked like it.
They didn't want to take a charge and be on the DL for a month, haha!
That's every player on defence now
Number 6 was my all time favorite sports moment!
