Mutombo is 34 at this time and might even be older since his actual birthday isn't documented. In games where Shaq and Dikembe matched up Shaq averaged 21.5 points per game on .523 shooting and 8.6 free throw attempts. In comparison, Shaq averaged 24.7 points on .582 shooting and 9.8 free throw attempts against the rest of the league. In other words, Dikembe before aging holds Shaq to less volume, less efficiency, and allows Shaq to go to the line less; Shaq can't be stopped but he do can be contained.
@@Ricardo-tf3no First of all, DPOY is a regular season award, and not every DPOYs are created equally. Second is that peak Mutombo might be the best rim defender but 76ers Mutombo is past his peak.
Sadly Allen Iverson and Mutombo didn't get to win a championship that year because they ran into Prime Shaq when he was at his best from 1999-2002 that's just my opinion
He was unbelievably dominant. In Mutombos defence, he was past his prime in 2001, but still an excellent defender. EDIT: he was DPOY in 2001, damn… 😂 Shaq would destroy the big men of today
Shaq made a barbecue chicken dinner on the Sixers Centers(Mutumbo, Matt Geiger & Todd MacCoullogh).. Rudy Gobert would be BBQ Chicken in the first 5 seconds!
I don’t think Kareem would fare well matching up against Shaq, especially trying to guard him. Mutombo was a much stronger defensive player with a similar build. I’d much rather live with Kareem taking sky hooks over Shaq than Shaq pounding away at Kareem in the post.
@@100spurs 99 wasn't Shaqs prime,2003 that laker team was garbage except for Kobe and Shaq,Also that was the time when SHAQ had that toe injury that was basically the start of his declined..from 2000 to 2002 the Spurs were basically mollywopped by the lakers like it wasn't a competition.
People give Shaq too much credit for this performance. From what I remember, zone defense wasn’t introduced yet which made iso players destroy everyone, Shaq being one of them. There are many players in todays nba who are unguardable 1v1. Difference is zone neutralizes that.
About 4 plays in I'm laughing at how much of cheat code this dude is. Straight ABUSE!!!!!!!! I've always said no matter who your top 5 is, whoever has Shaq is winning. There's simply nothing you can do.
3rd and even 4th string centers became relevant cause of Shaq. He was just unstoppable from 1999-2002. Bill Russell wouldn't do shit on that version of Shaq. Only Wilt would stand a chance.
Bro I think bill could stand more than a chance, he had to guard willis Reed and wilt chamberlain, not exactly guys you could stop. I dont truly know though since their is essentially no footage of russel.
@@morpher728 Bill Russel was 3 inches shorter and 90 pounds lighter than shaq. Mutumbo was at least an inch taller and only 50 pounds lighter. My money is on Shaq. I honestly don't even know how much wilt could slow him down.
Who do you turn to fir help with Shaq … and what do you do with the Mamba? … and Big Game scoring at will from inside the paint to the threes? Rudy … you should look at this before you open your mouth. He literally destroyed … emasculated Mutombo … eviscerated him. Total domination …
Shaq dominated some of the most dominant big men in the 2000-2003 seasons. What dominant wing defender did Kobe dominate throughout his career in the playoffs?
This was by far the greatest playoffs I've ever watched. Lakers swept every team but one and the Sixers only won the first game of the series. They should have swept them too in my opinion.
All these Jazz fans who say Rudy Gorbert is DPOY, you are not defending anybody even close to this guy in the current NBA. When he occasionally tries to defend Embiid and Jokic, Rudy gets murdered. Ben as opposed to Rudy defends the most dominant guards and wings in a guards dominated NBA. No comparison.
If he just had that work ethic like Kobe he would’ve been dangerous, Godzilla of the NBA. Sorry but Jokic would’ve been finished in that Era including today
I'm here just to see a glimpse of what Shaq would do to Rudy Gobert!
I came just to see what that match up would look like 😂
ME TO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me 3 😂
ME 4!! 😂😂
Worddddd
Shaq was pure power and violence in the court haha never get tired of it
Shaq made guys like Mutombo and Admiral look like they were out of their weight class
His dominance is unlike anything else we ever seen in sports
And wilt made him weight class when wilt hand shake him he almost rip Shaq arm off

@@max-jm7hy Wilt was on steroids. Everyone knew it just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger.
robinson was washed with a bad back shaq's big ass wouldn't have his way as much against a prime robinson
Boy, there's no way Rudy Gobert would be able to lock down this beast.
Dunk after dunk 😭 if I seen this in todays game I would literally wild out
And Gobert says he can lock Shaq up. 😂😂😂 Gobert ain’t even a better defender than Mutombo and yet Shaq was dominating that man. Barbeque Chicken.

But still Mutombo was way better than Rudy Gobert is now

Man I’m lost for words, look at 1:25 he was triple teamed and just dominated everyone
I just said the same thing to my self that was crazy !!!!!
It was almost comical seeing how dominant he was 😂
He still doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He dominated the nba for years.
@@AKking530 i dont think so, he has the name of the most dominant ever, and like hes one if not the greatest center of all time
Thanks for bringing back all these memories
ur welcome
Og used to dunk damn near everything 😭😭😭💪🏿
this is how zion plays if he's 7 feet tall
And Rudy Gobert says he will locked his ass up.🤣🤣🤣
Sadly Allen Iverson and Mutombo didn't get to win a championship that year because they ran into Prime Shaq when he was at his best from 1999-2002 that's just my opinion
Correct
and a dominant Kobe who was coming into his own and hitting unrealistic shots
Facts
They ran into the LAL lmfao, shaq was a part of that not the whole reason
@@morpher728 Shaq was batman and Kobe was robin.
*WOW, Dawkins on a roll! 🐐*
Lmfao so I see I'm not the only one here comparing shaw to Golbert
This is straight up unfair jesus christ, drop step after drop step, dunking everytime
R.I.P. Black Mamba but Shaq was clearly the Alpha on the 1st 3 peat teams
There was only one three peat.
Nobody better or really unstoppable than Shaq in his prime. I’m glad I was able to watch him play nightly for 10 years.
@@TylerDurden252 ye thats what he said
He was being guarded by scrubs
Thanks but nobody asked
Someone share this link for Gobert or any member of his family 😂
Came here after Gobert tweet. Honestly forgot how much dominant Shaq was.
Shaq is α cyclops ... Never will be another one and never was
Lol and to think he never went hard in practice waited to dominate in the real game….different breed for sure
Wonder what it was like to watch this guy at the peak of his powers in the moment
Trust me it was something special. To this day never seen nothin like him.
shoutout to everyone else that compared Rudy to dikembe in their heads here hahaha some avid fans
He literally destroyed Mutombo and Rudy thinks he can guard Shaq lol
He was unbelievably dominant. In Mutombos defence, he was past his prime in 2001, but still an excellent defender. EDIT: he was DPOY in 2001, damn… 😂

I love these videos keep it up

You knew that after that fluke W in game 1 by Philly, there was no stopping Kobe , Shaq, and company from that point on.
Well its clear that the 76rs were outmatched but i wouldn't call 48 points a fluke.
The Lakers had 7 days off before the Finals even Phil Jackson said Lakers were rusty in game 1
Take Shaq out of that series and LA easily gets swept ... dude said fluke 🤡
*Shaq and Kobe

This is what shaq will do to gobert 😂
It would be even worse 😅😂
That puts Zion in THE RIGHT context. Shaq was nasty.
That fatboy would never fill shaq's shoes
Here after Shaq told Charles what he did to the DPOY Dikembe Mutombo
Iverson's face is like "I wannabe like Shaq"
1:22 that's why shaq's the most powerful and dominant player to ever play basketball
Such a good passer too at his size. I can't imagine if he would have had the work ethic. Shaq would be the GOAT.
Shaq's baby hook was insane
No wonder why he has all 3 FMVP's
Who else is here from Shaq & Chuck arguing over jimmy butler 😂
here after gobert said he would lock shaq up 😂😂😂😂
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Facts 😂
Imagine if Shaq stayed fit throughout his career. Wtf Gobert is thinking locking this guy up?
Comically overpowered. Im laughing out my ass watching this :d
The Spurs were the only team that could get past them during that stretch crazy
The Lakers swept the spurs in this playoff run but the other seasons yeah
@@leannegoodburn1483 lol shaq n kobe should have won 2 more but shaq work ethic was lacking and he didn't want to give up top dwag status ..
The spurs were no match for the lakers during Shaqs prime (2000-02)
Spurs did it 2 times. In 99 and 03

I literally paused at 1:10 after the tip dunk and started laughing how dominant he was lol then started scrolling down to see the comments lol
Shaq is definitely top 4 for me
Gobert supposed to stop this!? 🤣 french bbq chicken
1 year after upload this video it’ll now get 1M views after Rudy Gobert talking trashes 😂 #powerofcelebrities 😂

Came because of rudy gobert
wow what domination this was
Rudy Gobert needs to watch this….
❤Shaq ❤Shaq ❤Shaq ❤
🎉 I love Shaquille O'Neal ❤❤❤
Holy f### he's so unstoppable!!!
Most dominant player ever witnessed. Wow . What did Mutombo do to him? Lol
"poulet barbecue"
- Shaq to Gobert
Gobert couldn't shine Mutumbo's shoes and Shaq owned Mutumbo.
That's because every time Shaq backed into Motumbo he gave him whiplash which was never called. What rubbish.
Someone send Rudy Gobert this clip
***Rudy Gobert has left the chat***
Shaq dominated some of the most dominant big men in the 2000-2003 seasons. What dominant wing defender did Kobe dominate throughout his career in the playoffs?
Barkley crazy. SHAQ DOMINATED DIKEMBE 😭😭
RIP Dikembe
jesus christ, what are you saying RUDY GOBERT? , ya better watch this
Best center ever
I'm Only here from what Shaq said on Inside the NBA to Chuck
Somebody tag Rudy Gobert.
Too heavy, too strong , too smart . He would actually eat Jokic and embiid and dwight in their primes
he really play like the average person playing on a short goal
Did this get deleted and brought back?
Wow those are angry dunks 😮
Mutombo had the most painful job...
Lottery for the owner of this channel one year after thanks Gobert talking trash 😂 Never know when lucky knocks ur door 😂
they shouldve played geiger and macculloch on shaq more and use mutombo as help defender contesting shots.
This was by far the greatest playoffs I've ever watched. Lakers swept every team but one and the Sixers only won the first game of the series. They should have swept them too in my opinion.
And Rudy Gobert thinks he can live with this?
Shaq and Chuck lol
I came here cuz Rudy thought he could stop this 🍗🍗🍗 bbq
Did you see how in iso post shaq literally takes mutombo off his feet.
What kind of fckn beast is this?

Shaq more important than kobe
*Can you please upload Curry?*
8:20 💪
😂
Shaq Daddy!!!!!
Pure diesel powered !
If he only he could hsve gotten his ft to around 65% 40 points, easily
Damn!! There's no way rudy can lock him up🤔
I didn't realize that Shaq had a nice passing game, but the three starting from 6:50 are just unfair
If he just had that work ethic like Kobe he would’ve been dangerous, Godzilla of the NBA. Sorry but Jokic would’ve been finished in that Era including today
The only one Shaq couldn't beat was Olajuwon
"Shaq with yet another facial"... no way
Holy shit 1:25
