@@sencillo96 Shaq gave a speech during Yao's hall of fame ceremony in which he said Yao had tricked him about his language ability. Some people think Shaq's story was a joke.

Shaq: "Hey, you speak English." Yao: "Shaq, you never talk to me. Of course I speak English."
Yao kept his English speaking abilities private. It was his get out of BS interview move. Pretend you don't understand, and speak then they leave you alone

this incredible vocalist. these lyrics, the melody, and the new jack swing beat all over the place. music will never be the same again. not in a 100 years, never. they made masterpieces in the last century.
You can tell they enjoy each others presence. They share the big guy energy and they probably seldom hangout with anyone near their height. They probably feel normal around each other!
Olajuwon, Sabonis, and Karl Malone did alright defending him. Strange but true, Rodman defended him well even though there's like 5 inches and 100 lbs difference between them. I think if Shaq played in the 80's, Moses and Mark Eaton could get in his way. Mark Eaton was huge, like 7'4 and over 300 lb mountain. In the 70's, I say Artis Gilmore. Shaq's is unguardable in any era but I think these guys can do reasonably well.
@jcpenny3606 Shaq is not unguardable in any era at all. Walt Chamberlain and Bill Russell could also guard Shaq. You could wear him out get him tired. Don't forget about Kareem in 1970-71 . Those guy's in the 60s 70s and 80s would have gave him problems down low.
I think that a stretch big would really give Shaq problems. With every step away from the rim, his weaknesses become greater. Aarvydas Sabonis used to give Shaq trouble whenever he was hitting his shots. He was much bigger than his son Domantas.
😂Yao Ming out here with that I'm the taller man stance. Man, watching people grow old is crazy. I pray I make it there in good health one day. It's nice watching past players reunite.
