![Michael Jordan Career Highlights (Hall of Fame 2009) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-bDKq4O8bhc/mqdefault.jpg)
The funniest nickname he gave himself was “ The big deporter” after he beat 3 foreign centers in a row in the playoffs ..
I think it was 4, in 2000 (Vlade, Luc Longley, Sabonis and Smits)
Lol
Lmfaoo

i remember shaq was dunking on divac 10000 times a game against kings and divac wasnt happy...
When you look at Shaqs mom you can really see the pride she feels. An American success story indeed.

This dude is so funny but whenever he speaks what he says is so rich with wisdom and comes from the soul.
Yeah he also used to like to go to the bathroom for a week in a bucket and poor it on rookies, when he was 34 years old.
Not my words. They're Gary Payton's words

This might be the best HOF speech ever
EVER! And I've watched a few!
It was Truthful from eating bologna sandwiches and big sons of bitches 😎
FACTS!!!!
Chris Bosh have a really good one recently too
It really says a lot about Bill Russell’s character that at his age he still shows up to so many NBA events and Hall of Fame inductions.
He has the most rings In history of course hes gonna show up 11 rings
He’s was a pioneer. He was the first real black star in the nba. He will always show up. To him he knows what he means to black players. And he wants to see his hard work and troubling times paid off.
He wears rings on all fingers, and an extra on that middle.
@@Lordmordon Phil Jackson has the most but I get what U R saying
A basketball God
Shaq is the man. “If you hate me, then there’s something wrong with you. Everybody loves me!”-SHAQ
She
Yes!!!!
Shaq is the man!!! I love him!!
Kashif Shabbir Messi and Ronaldhino are the only true goats
@@AndresGarcia-ts3cf come on
The most beautiful speech ever. He gave props to EVERYONE in his life, including fans; he left an empty seat for his father. The speech was warm, accepting, gracious, and funny. I can listen to this speech again.
Shag has a great big heart ❤ as big as he is 🏀
I love how he took pride in his children and gave props to their mothers... Real classy
Agree!
100% PURE CLASS!
lady of saints キげんき
lady of saints かか
um.. just one mother for them all you red hat lady nbafamily.fandom.com/wiki/O%27Neal_Family
He told his life story by nothing but thanking people around him. And with humor too!
That's why this is my second time watching it.
jpogi gtxcr1 Shaq is the man
Me too, second time watching it. Very inspirational, Congratulations Shaq!!!
I became a huge fan of Shaq after he retired.
I also liked him between collage and NBA when I collected all his rookie cards. Just never liked his Florida/LA teams.
I have watched it about 3 times. He is good guy in my book
Out here balling my eyes out to shaq diesel
I think that Shaq gave one of the best Hall of Fame speeches of all time, gracious and humble and most importantly humorous. I love watching him and Charles Barkely go at it on TNT..
The best combo on tv
Long speech
Certainly the best I have ever listened to
The most outstanding thing from this speech is how grateful and apprecuative Shaq is to all the people who influenced him through out his life. Only a person who has humble heart never forgets!
This is the greatest speech i ever watched in any sport hall of fame history. I love you shaq.
My nigga Shaq I'll be there soon i love you
-Kobe Bryant
+MR SMOOTH you're*
+OJ Clarkson L
SElfish ballhog nba player
Kobe Bryant kobe watch youtube
😥😥
Bill Russel just sitting there looking in the crowd like "yall aint shit, im the mvp"
Nathan_ lol he was ass
OliverN18 bro are you dumb ?
Wilt Chamberlain bitch.. Watch your fucking mouth
Lol.😂😂😂😂😂
Nathan_ HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... SHIT MAN THAT WAS TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!....LMFAOFF!!!!!
I love how he honored the mothers of his children, for being great mothers!!!
the mother of his children you mean
Luis Gonzalez he’s got 2 baby’s mamas
@@luisgonzalez5780 mothers is correct. Shaunie and Arnetta.
Such a powerful and well delivered speech. I'm feeling very proud of this man Shaquille O'Neal. I pray that he continues on the path of "blessings".
Amen he such a great person
He was kind to mention and thank all the coaches and players at all his teams from HS to retirement.
The only Hall of fame speech I watched to the end
Crawfishblacc That made no sense...
djlarrylive him and iverson.
And Jordan's
Same and I can't believe this lasts more than 30 mins lol
I watched michael jordans to the end too.
Loved hearing Shaq talk about his family and childhood. It was special seeing his proud mom smiling when he was talking about their charitable work. I also didn’t know about his post graduate degrees. Shaq is awesome and a great role model for all men.
What a man. He's always helping kids, giving direction and showing class
First time watching this, and I must say I have no regrets... I get bored real easily, but this was one of the best speech ever... don't know Shaq, but feel like I do... love how he just loved everyone... God bless you Shaq... keep up the good works.
Took me a moment to realise Yao Ming isn't standing up.
Lmao
Hahaha
🤣🤣
he cant he is crippled
😂😂😂
Shaq is so genuine and he has kinder spirit . This man is a gift to society
Like or dislike his basketball playing, what Shaq has really done is become a decent human being. Now THAT is to be honored!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
From watching videos, Shaquille O'Neal has become one of my favorite personalities! He's fun, funny and brilliant!
Yes, he is, and I love that these athletes blast away the myth that they can't be witty, smart, thoughtful, kind, etc.
Nobody has a attraction
Shaq is the epitome of what any and all basketball players should aspire to be. An amazing player, but an even more amazing human being first.
Jus the whole cheating on his wife thing gets me.. in this society there is too much worship of celebrities. Even shaq admitted to it. Truth is we make mistakes, were human.
But being good at sports shouldnt be the idea of a great human.. idolize the people in ur life who are truly great humans. Not someone you see on tv or who gave a 45 min speech about their own success in sports. There is role models and heroes all around us.
That speech came from the heart.Well done.
Such a remarkable human being.
Can see how much love his mom have for him just by looking at her face
Yeah he also used to like to go to the bathroom for a week in a bucket and poor it on rookies, when he was 34 years old.
Not my words. They're Gary Payton's words
ruclips.net/video/jzdEUqyGB8I/видео.html
Great speech Shaq, sincere, comical and eloquent. Your wit, and laughable personality are surpass only by your dominance on the court. Stay humble Shaq and keep growing. Much love BIG MAN.
Facts
Well said Gaz
Hear hear
This isn't a speech, this is stand up comedy
It was that good!
It's one. It's a humorous one !
Watch MJ is as dope as crazy as he is yet funny
Thank God😁
His Story about the coach giving him the scholarship was touching. You could tell how proud coach was. It's stories like that where you realize there is still some hope left for humanity.
I can’t get enough of listening to a man like Shaq. He’s a man. A grown man that ACTS JUST LIKE GOD HAD INTENDED. Honest. Giving. Loving. Understanding. Decent. And can SLAM THE SHIT OUTTA THE GLASS!!!!!!
Such a big man with an even bigger heart. Shaq is a blessing...im proud & happy for him.
Yeah he also used to like to go to the bathroom for a week in a bucket and poor it on rookies, when he was 34 years old.
Not my words. They're Gary Payton's words
ruclips.net/video/jzdEUqyGB8I/видео.html
probably one the most beloved humans.
True. He could probably roll in some of the most racist towns in America and still get love. He's just that kinda guy
Lootroq they wouldn’t try no 7’3 human that’s why.
@@ericjones2988 7'1" actually
i remember his dominance back in the day, those were the days... so beautiful years, the 90s and 00s
Shaq is flipping hilarious 🤣 with his brother as VP of leaves and his sister as CEO of washing dishes or whatever he was saying.
These athletes are brains and brawn and I love it.
Wow! Shaq... represents man! His grammar & intelligence is off the chain. Proud of you bro!
Greg Stewart ? Stop projecting
Champ Champ may I ask what grammatical words he used that’s impressive ?
"extremities" 😄
He fought back tears soooo long
First when he mentioned the military guy.
Yeah, I noticed that.
the one thing which kills all enjoyment of a show is censorship.
theres an unedited version on youtube as well
I just fill fun fucks in the blanks and it's all good.
I respect this man so much. He is kindness is not for show off purpose but is genuine!!!
I knew he was a great big man. After watching this entire speech I can also say he's simply a great man! Bless you, Shaq, for all the excitement, joviality and love you have brought to this world. I look forward to watching your kids progress and follow in your huge footsteps!
Your probably a racist I've never met a white man who tryed to do me some harm or humiliate me. I'm 40 yrs old from the south to be exact. I wanna ask you a question have you Ever went to a urban area and help a black kid out who thinks there's no hope in life try it
Wow! One of the best speeches ever. Shaq has amazing stage presence
The absolute best role model to ever walk on the court.
Agreed
Unlike his idiot partner and prankster Sir Charles.
I love that he made sure to acknowledge and thank every single person who was there for him at the very beginning...such grace and gratefulness makes him even more awesome! The one and only Hall of fame speech I've fully watched lol. I respect and admire Shaq so much!
wow, to be able to confidently talk to a room of people like that and never ever lose their interest. what a talent.
I was blessed to be able to watch Shaq's entire college and pro career. Although he is a hall of fame player, he may be an even better man. God bless you, Shaq, and thanks for all of the great memories.
Daniel S 👍👍👍
I'm not a big basketball fan but I'm a huge Shaq fan. He's so modest and generous. His sense of humor is above all other athletes in my oponion. Definitely a true " What you see is what you get" person. There's nothing phony about him.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Shaq is a national treasure. Hell, he is a treasure to humanity. It's impossible not to live that man.
I'm so happy for Shaq... I started seeing basketball when he was already a Laker and could never take my eyes off of hin or Kobe.
Edmundo J. Cid that sounds so gay!
haa... gay
Edmundo J. Cid Go Check the play when he broke the rim playing for the Orlando Magic. Simply Amazing!
By far, one of the best speeches I have heard from a sports personal, Shaw, you rocks.
Shaw 👍🏻😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂
One of the most entertaining HOF speeches I ever heard. Thanks for being on my favorite team Shaq,
and helping win us 3 more rings. Btw, RIP Bill Russell!
The best speech I will never hear it again from any athlete. I love you as always big Shaqe
He had humerus personality, he was approachable to anyone, a genuine humanitarian. O'Neil will always be my favorite top 5 players of all time.
Kirt Sessoms what you wrote was so true
#ShaqForce
and yet u spell his last name wrong
He had the personality of a bone in his arm?
Best speech ever along side with Jordan's and Kobe's they gave me such a motivation and inspiration to pursue my dreams!!
did you
Where did you find Kobes HOF speech? I would love to hear him accept the award.
One of my favorite speeches. I have listened to this great man's speech more then ten times and he always makes me laugh 😃 😀! Thank you sir Shaq for the best memories at the Lakers.
No one can do it on their own. Phenomenal speech… I love that he acknowledges his Father and the Men in his life that taught , instilled tough love with life lesson a d values that molded him into the Man we all love. So often we only hear the Mother’s or the Women. This is proof that Men are still needed.
💯
... verry much needed 💜
Bill Russell doesn't look like he knows where he is.
He's home
His like a Statue
Sad man, time really dont give a fuck about no one.
He's probably bored of all the Hall of Fame inductions he's been to lol
he's blind
Who does not love this guy. He is just a great guy and one heck of a basketball player. Well deserved Big Man!
Man, I get all choked up when he recognized his mom, wife and kids. I just love that!
Coming in my recommended list a couple of days after Kobe has passed.
Extremely heartbroken we won't be seeing him giving his HOF speech 💔😢
RIP Kobe and all the others in that crash ❤️
Such an awesome dude...so personable, chill and self-aware
Best Hall of Fame speech and rant. I love this guy, hes hilarious and smart. Surprisingly humble.
Humble?
When he said, “give it up!” I started clapping so hard and even gave a standing ovation out of fear.
What a speech!!! 3rd time watching it and still enjoying everytime he delivers those humors..he remains was one of my fav big man...
Probably one of the guys speeches that I'll listen to for that long
SHAQ, the greatest speech ever such class, humbleness, and gratitude. thanx SHAQ for all the great memories.
34:15 Shaq on Yao Ming: People like to say he's 7'7, but he is really like my favourite convenience store 7-11. LMAO!
😂😂😂😭😭😭🗿🗿🗿💀💀💀
You can only admire this man, with determination, passion, compassion, and admiration to family and people who made an impact on his journey, is indeed worth learning. Thank you Shaq...
"Big ol' sumbitch" for those wondering what was being blanked out by the censors.
I went straight to the comments to look for this, because I knew someone would have it here, thank ya!
@@Ottocide same thing :) i knew it was something of that kinf but thanks for the precison Junkman ! :) Big up to big shaq daddy from France !
Fenomenal showman. Congrats Shaq very articulated and a natural speaker. Hope one day to shake your hand.
Shaquille O'Neil....a thunderous epitome of a man...God Bless you sir.
The way this man vividly describes everyone in his life and the impact they had is amazing.. protect this man at all costs!!
What a great humble human package, Big, Talented and smart.
Damn man, if Shaq and Kobe could've stayed together, I think they could've matched or passed mj in rings
the nba is rigged dumbass...shaq wouldnt sacrifice his dad like MJ
Fulcanelli right
Fulcanelli, that was gambling related, wtf are you talking about? No connection to basketball
@@Lootroq point being mj is a donkey off the court has done nothing for basketball or other people off the court
Fulcanelli MJ sacrificed his dad by gambling not anything to do with basketball
Could watch this 50 times . Shaq is so funny , what a nice big man . He recognizes family, friends and this’s who helped him through his journey 👍👍
I've never seen an award show where the honoree spent so much time honoring others. Not only is Shaq one of the best big men to every play the game and to bring it to new heights, but he's also one of the kindest people. Gotta love Chocolate Chambernizzie!
I do believe this is one of the best speeches ever! Shaq is a great human being an inspiration who lived above and beyond his expectation and still does to this day love you Shaq I appreciate your presence on this your planet you are a true gift from God a National Treasure
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
True legend. The most dominant center in his era. In top 5 centers of all time for sure.

2. Russel
3. Kareem
4. Hakeem
5. Shaq
Greatest:
1. Kareem
2. Russell
3. Wilt

5. Hakeem
Best:
1. Hakeem
2. Kareem
3. Wilt
4. Shaq
5. Russell
Wilt is never above bill russel.
Bill was destroying wilt his team
@@anilkaraca1767 .....Wilt who payed only 14 seasons was way long better than Karem who played 24 season................Can you imagine if Wilt would had played those 10 season to match Karem..... He would have been the top score and rebounds
@@TONYLAZ1960 can u read bro?
Bill was killing wilt
@@anilkaraca1767 not taking anything away from bill russell but he had a better team than wilt
One of the best HOF speeches of all time. Deserves another award just for the speech
He is so Deep when he is serious
...
And he knows how to Thank people ...
Unbelievable speech deserves everything he gets this guy is awesome!!
No dull moment for the audience. What a speech! What a speaker! What a hall of famer! What a legend! Shaq, you are the man! A ton of respect and admiration for the Big Diesel, probably the most dominant big man to ever play the game in NBA history.
I love you Shaq and Forever love since I was 14 yrs old 1994 in Haiti u have always been my favorite player and still I'm 5'8 a short guy still my friends call me Shaquille and I'm honored
Wow, this was a great speech. He took his time and he took me on his life's journey.
best speech ever
Got to love Shaquille O'Neal very humbled and grateful
Such a character, a great man, humble, gracious and good hearted. A true gentleman, a great teammate, friend, father and son. Much respect..
I am watching this Jan, 31 2020 and all i think of is Kobe Bryant that he's not going to have his Hall Of Fame's speech.. Heartbreaking..
🥺🥺🥺😥😥😥😭😭😭
i was disappointed, he never mentioned barbeque chicken
Racist much?
@@andrewdyke5561 you haven't played 2k19 have u?
andrew dyke it’s not that what he always says
@@andrewdyke5561 are you kidding?? You must not know anything about shaq-- He refers to people as barbq chicken when they get schooled in basketball. Youre a tool!
andrew dyke lmao you’re the racist for associating bbq chicken and Shaq like it’s a stereotype hahaha
Great speech,Shaq is a class act.
Using a bad word and crowd still laugh that's awesome
Okay................ I’m so proud of this man. That I got teared up at the end and when he said all the charities he and his wonderful mother provide for people less fortunate. I can proudly say I Love Shaquille O’Neil.
That may be the best HOF speech I have ever seen. To remember and recognize so many people growing up that touched his life.... what an amazing individual.
Definitely 1 of the best big man ever no question! But he's also good people! Nothing but love to The Big Fella!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Should've been in the hall of fame in his rookie year
Should've been on the Dream Team instead of Laettner
I know right?
LongieR8er Couldn’t allow him to be on the Dream Team. The UN said that America would have to recognize them as a military force instead of a basketball team.
@@LongieR8er I prefer Rodman there
Great job with speech. Humble and grateful to all that impacted him since childhood.
His Mom is so beautiful!
Shaq is an incredible human being, always up most respect and love for him.
Eh guys Shaq is the best thing that happened to NBA. He is a joy to listen to. His comedy unmatched.
LEGEND!
You have to love Shaq that sense of humour gets me every time. He was the only one who made people smile at Kobe’s memorial. Love you Shaq 💖
I can relate to eating bologna sandwiches and watching TV!!! He's a likable down to earth man. I loved every thing he said! Success has not gone to his head. Congratulations!!
This one tops them all! I bet every single person is the room had a moment of laughter. Big man with a bigger heart. It's funny, jovial, loving, caring, sweet, thankful and above all honest. What else can you ask for?
