This was a great pick, he has been a positive on every team he has ever played on, and he was a great ambassador of the game as well, always charming and kind instead of arrogant or conceited. Any game with Shaq O'Neil in it will be interesting.
he was never funny, in the past his annoyance was held down by the veterans of that time, but once those veterans were gone and he didn't have to respect anyone, we got the shaq of today.
Hard to say. He began to get arthritus in at least one toe. He retired about the normal time for many athletes. I wish he went back to the Magic and reitred wherehe began. Retire 32 with the Magic and 34 for the Lakers.
Held in New York at Madison Square Garden every late June. Usually lottery and certified 1st round picks are invited to be in the green room. Sometimes late pick draftees pay sit in the crowd and come up when they are drafted.
@funkyflights It's not about who "deserves" to keep a player. Sometimes a bigger market, money, and the chance at a championship may lure players away. Orlando didn't have forever dibs on Shaq just because they won a lottery pick, he was free to go and do whatever he wanted...and that's what he did.
Shaq is the type of player who's never gonna want to retire. But if he's ever gonna be good in the nba again he needs to get his weight down to about 300 this season.
if they are fitted they will vary on size depending on the player, therefore they have those hats, in case they change their mind on draft day or trade etc..
He does but he has instincts and awareness you cannot teach. This team's talent took alot of pressure off of him but put other pressure on him to perform to secure his job.
Shaq plans before the draft was to play in L.A. no matter what. He wanted the Magic to work out a trade with either the Lakers or the Clippers that never happened. This is why he negotiated a contract with an escape clause that allowed him to become a free agent after 4 years. His last season in Orlando, he told a reporter on national TV that his priority was to play in Orlando. Not too many people notice when he closed the interview that where he plays, it would be sunny.
Kobe does not need motivation. His dedication to be the best player in the world is all he needs. Stated that he felt limited by Phil. Had problems wtih Fox as well. Rumors he punched Samaki Walker. Called out the team for a anonymous comment which Phil talked about in the book
7'0" 303!?!??!!?! What the FFFFFFFFFUCK??!!!! Dwight Howard is 6'10" 265 (and I'm GIVING him 10 pounds). How in this fucking world is he being compared to this bedtime story MONSTER called Shaquille O'Neal?
Dwight came in draft night at 6'11" 240. Shaq was a lean mean 7' 303 lbs. Dwight went to 265 and still looks small against Shaq. Shaq is a legend Dwight never was close to Shaq's skill level.
@funkyflights, he became a free agent in 1996, but even before that, it was clear he didn't want to re-sign with Orlando. Shaq craved the spotlight, and he wasn't going to find it on a young franchise with a smaller market and less history.

Shaq has that Mama's boy smile

lol, i love how shaq always jokes around... "oh i'm first?"
With the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic selects Shaquille O'Neal from Louisiana State University
Wow time really flies doesnt it! Seems like yesterday!!
That dude was so slim then but so strong, a physical beast his first few years in the league NOBODY could stop!
If Shaq is 300lbs here then he's 600 now.
Keep in mind that he is 2.16
@@someonesomeone7423 he’s also jacked rn. Look at how much muscle he has rn
he is not 600 pounds and he was really good so..
@@crazycorner8996 whoosh
Lol wow Shaq was so professional here, now he's such a jokester, not that it's bad but just different to see lmao
He always was funny. Look at his interviews throughout his career. Draft day may not be the time to carry on with the media.
he was never funny, in the past his annoyance was held down by the veterans of that time, but once those veterans were gone and he didn't have to respect anyone, we got the shaq of today.
ripppking dude he just got drafted a lot of things going on, plus they all groomed him to say this day that. What you expect.
You got to look at him getting comfortable from 91 to when he retired. He has already did everything so he's just in the stage of being free spirited
@@rayleigh8 he always been funny. And u must have played with him before ?? Doubt it
Shack was said to be one talent in 20 years at that time. But even after 30 years, there are still no center players who are equal to or exceed Shack.
wish he was a gym rat....could hv had an extra 4-5 more elite yrs wit conditioning and healthy diet. still a top 3 center in his prime
Hard to say. He began to get arthritus in at least one toe. He retired about the normal time for many athletes. I wish he went back to the Magic and reitred wherehe began. Retire 32 with the Magic and 34 for the Lakers.
Imagine how many all time points he’d had. If he could shoot his free throws
slick 8301 except when he played against Rodman...
Nice call. Kobe said the same thing recently.
Nigga played 18 years lol that’s damn near twice as long as most other dominant bigs his size
Already joking around, love it.
My favourite Shaq and Kobe
Thanks for the memories, Shaq.
He is a hell of a lot better at talking here
"Weakness- Refine Offensive Game"
And he's now within the top 5 in all time scorers.
I think he did a good job working on that.
2:06 His weakness became his strength.
The real weakness comes to the free throw line hahahahaha
Thanks for the great times shaq
They should've taken Shaq on the Dream Team the it'll be all Hall of Famers
He was FINEE
he always had and still does have the best sense of humor
Shaq looks sooo nice bitd
Shaq had a tremendous career, 4 championships, NBA MVP, 3x Finals MVP etc.
*salutes*
I was 12 years of age jr high .92 was a great year for sports
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAQUILLE O'NEAL !!!!!
You can hate Shaq all you want. He lived up to his expectations and then more. Truly an unstoppable force in the League.
Thank You Shaq!!
This day, the basketball History did change forever. Shaq Forever.
Laetner over Shaq is a joke
Nah laetner earned it that year with his run at Duke
One of a kind! 4 titles and more to come.
Aww. He looks so young!!
I still love him.
shaq has never changed
A lenda!!! Shaquille para sempre na história da NBA.
He was the only big man to measure seven feet without shoes in that '92 draft.
LOL the hair
Yeah, he was only 20 years old in this vid. 17 years, 1 MVP and 4 championships later. He's evolved into one of the greatests to ever play the game.
He was so cute
Cursed baby
i am a nets fan but i always loved watched shaq play
Held in New York at Madison Square Garden every late June. Usually lottery and certified 1st round picks are invited to be in the green room. Sometimes late pick draftees pay sit in the crowd and come up when they are drafted.
young oneal with the fresh fade thumbs up
love the young shaq!
magnifique la draft 1992 une des meilleurs de l'histoire de la NBA
His stepfather was so proud
@funkyflights It's not about who "deserves" to keep a player. Sometimes a bigger market, money, and the chance at a championship may lure players away. Orlando didn't have forever dibs on Shaq just because they won a lottery pick, he was free to go and do whatever he wanted...and that's what he did.
Kobe and shaq played with the same jersey number in highscool
the nicknames started as soon as he was drafted lol back in the love shaq
Then a legend was born....
Sager and Shaq, two legends
:47 pops is like - Damn, we bout to be PAID!!!!!
2nd best Center of All Time, Next to Bill Russell
Shaq really was a force to mess with during the 90s and early 2000s
holy shit he looked so much different
O mais dominante que já passou pelo garrafão da NBA!
No he's a 3 time NBA Finals MVP. He's a 1 time League MVP in 2000 thats what i was talkin' about.
Shaq is the type of player who's never gonna want to retire. But if he's ever gonna be good in the nba again he needs to get his weight down to about 300 this season.
This should most definitely influence somebody that's younger than him to get into the Basketball Game more and just play like it's a Video Game.
haha he looked so funny when his name was announced. a born entertainer. most dominant center ever!
if they are fitted they will vary on size depending on the player, therefore they have those hats, in case they change their mind on draft day or trade etc..
very humble from his beginning
He does but he has instincts and awareness you cannot teach. This team's talent took alot of pressure off of him but put other pressure on him to perform to secure his job.
One of the genetic freaks of my generation. I saw barkley but not in his prime. Shaq is physically an unstoppable force.
Shaq plans before the draft was to play in L.A. no matter what. He wanted the Magic to work out a trade with either the Lakers or the Clippers that never happened.

One Of The Few 1st Draft Picks, That Wasnt A Bust!!!
Awwh, look at Baby Shaq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats because he has been the nba commisioner for now 25 years
LOL @ 0:10 he's like "No shit, who else did you expect them to pic?"
WOW when SHAQ was skinnier and had hair.
Shaq Didn't Have Tattoos Until 1996
Can You DIG IT!!!!!!
Look at Sager! Man he looks so different..17 yrs can really change a person..
Yeah no shit.
well, one thing's for sure. he hasn't lost his enthusiasm. :)
back when nba was so much fun!
Shaqtastic! (29 points)
Top 5 center of all-time.
does anyone know where to get those hats? like the one they handed shaq. they're so tight. who makes them? is it starter?
Absolute savage
No .1 Pick Shaq
Kobe does not need motivation. His dedication to be the best player in the world is all he needs. Stated that he felt limited by Phil. Had problems wtih Fox as well. Rumors he punched Samaki Walker. Called out the team for a anonymous comment which Phil talked about in the book
SHAQBOY NEVER BROKE AGAIN
time is ruthless...
1:22 lol his portrait has me dyin
DAMN I WAS 7YRS OLD... IM 25 NOW AND THIS NIGGA IS STILL PLAYING!!!
1:25 love his draft picture haha

This kid is gonna be a superstar and i think he wil win a 3 peat with the lakers
time passes so quick man...
0:08 he was just like,,,who me?? hahha
he didn't look so surprised and happy when his name got called
best Center in the history of the game..
Top 3 Center of All-Time.
The real goat
lol they were playing Chariots of Fire in the background while Shaq was shaking Stern's hand
I see, mad respect from Shaq =]
what a good man
@chabowker where do you think he got it from?
7'0" 303!?!??!!?!
What the FFFFFFFFFUCK??!!!!
Dwight Howard is 6'10" 265 (and I'm GIVING him 10 pounds). How in this fucking world is he being compared to this bedtime story MONSTER called Shaquille O'Neal?

Shaq is a legend Dwight never was close to Shaq's skill level.
he has been on the most teams
Shaquille is in the Time 5 Centers of All Time... (4th All Time) i would say
@funkyflights, he became a free agent in 1996, but even before that, it was clear he didn't want to re-sign with Orlando. Shaq craved the spotlight, and he wasn't going to find it on a young franchise with a smaller market and less history.
he always good different from other 7 footers. he was just big.
man those draft hats back then were fire
i hate those new draft day hats, they aint fitted
shaq was a beast back then
