D wade was the ultimate superstar/ team player. He was able to work with SHAQ and get LBJ in their prime .... And win rings.
+MrMahazestar Shaq was past his prime when he was with the heat..
+T.S.P no he wasnt he was the most payed player in the nba at that moment ,he was past his prime with Lebron in Cleveland
***** so what? Lebron lost 4 times ,also the injuries destroyed Miami in 2007
Shaq was crap in the 06 playoffs
No, actually shaq decided he didn't want to be as selfish and be the man like he was in l.a.
Wade is truly, truly, underrated. One of the only players I've seen hat can switch from alpha to beta almost seamlessly
Yup and Shaq disrespects him by saying Penny Hardaway is better than Wade
I think ESPN had him lower than Curry and Durant on their all time list, he's had a way better career than both of them
Marco nastevski nah. He couldn't win without Shaq and never bested Kobe or tmac
Allen Iverson actually penny was better than him, before the injuries.
Penny was at no point better than wade was
I wonder if shaq taking a step back for wade influenced wade taking a step back for LeBron
Fadhil Hussain kobe had to take a step back to play the offense and get it inside to shaq
Lol it did. Shaq set a great example. Hes a dominant force that accepted his poisition for the greater good of the team. And it resulted in a ring. Wade did the same after, and guess what he got out of it.
Fadhil Hussain No it didn't. Wade only took a step back from LeBron because he had lingering injuries and was 3 years older than LeBron was so it makes perfect sense.
@@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx and why do you think shaq stepped back for wade? same reason, look at what you say, think before you speak fool
SSA INVINCIBLEx Shaq was 32/33 taking a step back from an up n coming D-Wade
Wade was 28/29 with injuries of a 32/33 year old taking a step back for Lebron
This series with Shaq is great
+Harry D. thank you!
+Graham Bensinger Good job, it is nice to hear in depth information like this, because you won't get it anywhere else. Keep up the good work!!
+Graham Bensinger were you in nba 2k my career before?
I honestly would have shaken his hand at the end out of reflex lol it would have been so awkward
+Onlyrealmusic4life me too!!! lol
+Onlyrealmusic4life trust me Shaq would make fun of that. He is a cool dude!
oldnbaschool He wouldn't let that g0unnoticed lol I wouldn't either though. I'd point it out before he did
+Onlyrealmusic4life
IKR.
Especially with how for Shaq extended himself.
GB lost points, pimp.
+phillyslasher lmaoooo you just described in detail what i think would've happened to me
i think. we're soul brothers
"It was my team and I still got traded." So real and honest about the situation.
By 2003, it was not shaqs team. He was declining and he knew it. Had he took a backseat for kobe like he did with dwade, they would have make it work like magic and kareem did.
@@realitybites629 He was there before Kobe so he was always gonna think it was his team regardless of decline I suppose
@@DublinDapper miami was d wades team but he gave way to lebron after the loss to dallas.
LA was kareem's team but he gave way to magic.
Shaq is just too egotistical.
Phil jackson asked kobe to slowdown when he scored consecutive 40point games because phil was concerned thst they would lose Shaq if kobe kept scoring that much.
@@realitybites629 Kareem and Lebron probably top 3 to ever play the game so those decisions shouldn't of been hard to make...Doubt Shaq was putting Kobe in that bracket back then. but I accept your point of course ego got in the way.
@@DublinDapper did you know that during game 7 of the 2000 WCF against portland, kobe has more points, rebounds, assists and blocks than shaq? Kobe was 21 and he took over the lakers when it mattered mosr. Shaq only won those finals mvp because he had no competition in the east teams.
Best I ever heard from Shaq
+kudabeen thanks!
I have mad respect for The Diesel, on the court and off the court he is a class act!
This channel should for sure have more views. Great interviews man
+Will Putz Thanks, Will! We're just starting to put a lot of content on it... Really appreciate you checking it out!
Burner account comment 😂
I would've liked to hear how that ended if Shaq and Riley reached each other lolol
hey dom
Dom2k on the mic!
Riley would have gotten turned into a pancake if shaq wanted to do anything to him
Lmao it's dom
you ever see the video of the Walmart employee who punched his boss for calling him a liar?
wade is a nice guy and a great player, now and then
ALex Wu can you see my comment?
I wish wades athleticism never declined
He knee fucked him over
It was his body not his athleticism
Oh fucking please the amount of excuses u ppl make for him is hilarious. In 2011 when they lost to the Mavs after being up 2-1 he was perfectly fine and in his prime. He was also fine in the series against the Spurs in 2014. Ppl love to make excuses for the guy they like. FUCK OUTTA HERE!
Mystic Mac he was hurt 2014 too he wasn’t supposed to play the series 🤨
@@mysticmac5555 he averaged the most points in that series so wheres the problem
If the injury didn't fucked him up, maybe 2013 or 2014 is his last season. Just saying. Shaq & Wade is my fave duo but Kobe and Shaq is the best 1-2 punch
2012*
anyone with shaq is the best 1 2 punch
shaq had the ability to make his team good
He probably never worked hard in rehabilitation/PT in order to get back to original form. After the 2004 Finals, everyone could really see that Shaq had lost a noticeable amount of dominance he had a few years prior.
I wouldve loved to see Wade play with a prime shaq, he was a more willing playmaker than kobe
Great way to have Shaq open up! Great interview and content.)
+K1DFR3SH77 Thanks!
He was past his prime, so he was forced to be the Robin. If he was in his prime, he would have feuded with Wade like he did with Penny and Kobe
Nah he wouldn’t have, cause Wade was very young at the time & probally would’ve been the Robin to Shaq’s Batman
Nah Wade is supercool. He can gel with anyone.
@@andrewgoldin6905 kobe did gel with PRIME shaq. Their relationship fell apart after Shaq started going downhill and Kobe started to peak in 2002
Instead of taking a backseat, shaq tried to sabotage Kobe.
@@realitybites629 And people keep forgetting that Shaq was getting fat and lazy prior to that breakup. Kobe maybe harsh at that point but it was reasonable especially the fact that they lost in 2004 finals which I do blame Kobe too but if Shaq wasn't that unmotivated he could have helped kobe
@@fatezero8662 no way LA would pay an aging sloth like shaq. Kobe had been heavy lifting the lakers in the playoffs since 2001.
Shaq himself admitted that it was purely business decision that brake them up.
Shaq was not fully supporting Peak kobe so that he can have Max Contract
got mad respect 4 Shaq.....i still think if he went Miami instead of LA from the start he would have more titles
1:37 his eyes tells it all...that trade cut him deep.....
hell nall kobe was turning into a HOF around 98
Elijah barber yea but no chemistry till later..and even then....it wasn't working....3 peat yes....but remember the last time Shaq played...they had both malone and the Glove in addition to Kobe and Shaq....
Shaq clicked with Wade...as Wade has no Ego...
and Kobe was no HOF in 98 he was avg less than 20...then 23 ish 99...he came alive 2000/01.....You can check is numbers at basketballreference.com
+Harri v'Jah no correction wade does have an ego he wouldn't be wade without it the thing is wade keeps it in check unlike kobe
***** I wrote it wrong...I meant if he had of gone to Miami a year earlier instead of staying in LA 03-04 season....Miami was in the East Semi-finals....without Shaq....
No matter what...if him and Kobe had of found common ground....then there is no question he would have won more titles in LA
No way, despite the fact that Miami acquired Eddie Jones Shaq was still better off with Phil Jackson and Kobe. He would've gotten to the finals but I doubt he would've got 3 in a row. Phil was a better fit than Pat Riley and Kobe a better partner despite their issues amongst each other.
Can they do a series with me
You might end up in shaqtin a fool again even with a simple interview
lmao dead
JaVale McGee k
JaVale McGee i hope not
They did. It was called Shaqtin A Fool.
Damn, Shaq is so fuckin‘ honest in this series (doesn‘t give a shit about himself)... You have to give credit to him. Kudos...
Always love Shaq’s take on....LIFE
Top 3 shooting guards nba history Jordan Kobe dwade
David Richmond YES !
David Richmond Drexler. Iverson.
Forgem Nos none of which are better than dwade
And Shaq played with 2 of them.
You Bet!!!
Shaq was with Penny, Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Nash and Boston Big 3... and he had beef with everyone of them..
+ensayofr Not with Pau or Nash or Fisher and guess what they all have in common?
+Ankhbayar Bat-Erdene Because Shaq stepped up to the challenge when he entered the league bro. He was surrounded by talent in Orlando, but they were immature. When he went to the Lakers, he routinely states he was told: "Anything less than 3 championships will be viewed as a failure." So he stepped up and led that team. Kobe just came along for the ride. If you had put players like Ray Allen or Vince Carter in Kobe's position back then, I can assure you the Lakers would still have won championships.
When he went to teams like Miami and Cleveland, the players (Wade & LeBron) no doubt expected him to carry the team. "Nahhhhh, young fellas, you gotta earn your stripes! I'm just here to help." That was Shaq's motto at that point in his career.
Why do you think Miami barely won 2 championships in 4 tries? All those dudes wanted someone else to carry the load!
+SFO14 Kobe was putting up LEAD player numbers as a 2 option ....stop it
Elijah barber Oh you can read stat sheets. Did you watch the games? Shaq still averaged more ppg in each of the 3 seasons they 3-peated, and the offense went through him......stop it.
Ankhbayar Bat-Erdene fucking facts.
I cheered for Miami since 2004 when I watched D Wade playing ... it wasn't his skills only that caught my eye ... it's his humble and great team work ... He should be regarded as one of the best may be 20-25 to have ever played the game ...
He was never humble lmfaoooo
Wade & Shaq was like Peanut Butter and Jelly! Love them both.
“Throw me out,” Shaq would have crushed Pat Riley
Shaq's way more self aware than most people think
Shaq always keeps it real man.
“... maybe I’m the asshole.” Very humble for Shaq to say. Respect.
MY All Time Favorite NBA Player
I wish shaq would have thought that way with kobe
when Shaq mimes his angry self here , at maybe 10% volume, it's like the earth is shaking. the guy is just colossal. seeing him actually tee off and yell at someone or wind up for a punch would make most grown men shit their pants
No, the mics are just that great. Lavalieres that talk show host use give great sound receivers. Those microphones are expensive as hell and can pick up even the softest talkers sound.
Got a lot of respect for Shaq after this series
Wade's performance in that finals was legendary. He was so great that year, top 3 or 4 sg of all time.
Nope, do you know how many FTs he had in that series? Wade is overrated as fuck not a top 5 SG
For me it is hard to keep Shaq out of my top 5 all time. In his prime he was destroying the league. I don't hear many people say top 10 with Shaq. I feel differently. I didn't see Wilt or Doc J or Russel or West or Bailor. Shaq was damn good for a long time
I absolutely agree with that Shaq diesel was dominant.
Always thought D Wade is one of the all time greats and I loved watching him with the Heat. Good to hear Shaq saying what he said
One of my favourite interviewers already!
The thing about a PLAYER and it being his team, it's all just having a leader that the players can go to and respect.
Like Shaq said it was his team and they traded him,
And actually without the EGO it's the OWNERS team and the cities
It's just good for the the mind for players to say it's my team
Trade Small THINK BIG you're taking to literally it was Shaqs team. How many finals MVPS Jerry buss got?
nobody:
shaq: bada bing bada boom
Just goes to show you Pat Riley's true colors.
John ETA he is a winning no nonsense GM and coach thats what jas given him rings
Has
pat riley is like lionel luthor from the early smallville seasons
@@wnerko7484 I understood that reference
Crazy such an amazing player went to so many different teams
Badda Bing, baddie bam 🏀
Wade > Everyone.
+MrBrenman21 Don't hate on Anime
+iraqsmansor DWADE=#GOAT
Not even close, not even top 5 shooting guard. And I'm a Heat fan.
+LilPrince Killa ur stupid
Sasuke Uchiha Or, I just know more about basketball than 1999 and forward. Stick to learning about anime and get lost.
good interviews thanks
Graham has to be top 5 best interviewers
i'm sure you've heard this enough but you do awesome, well-rounded interviews. keep them coming
+r j Thanks, RJ!
+Graham Bensinger you know what I didn't like you before but you got diesel to talk about some real shit so I'll sub u but u better get some real people in here lebron, wade, Jordan, Westbrook etc.
Shaq is a great talker man lmao
“What you hear, what you see and what you read” .... lmao
Watched this after the kobe interview. Very insightful. Great interview.
+Tareq Uddin Thanks!
Shaq “Let’s be civil about it, Tell me to my face that I’m being traded.”
Lol yeah because that would go so well 😂
I love Shaq, greatest Big Man ever..He was Blessed with size and a gifted athlete, he was so powerful on his dunks, would hype me up everytime, amazing.. And he brought the Championship to Miami that he promised. Pat Riley should have treated him better towards the end. It would DWade is a better teammate, and More efficient than Kobe I think. And in his prime, other than shoot 3's he was better than Kobe in every aspect.
whatever you may think about him, Pat Riley is a fuckin DON, the "CAPO". Guy has balls!
For someone who seems to have no athletic ability and I assume doesn't even like sports you do great interviews with the best athletes
Shaqactus
The big Aristotle
The diesel
Big shamrock
It goes on..
But big respect
So dope!
I was waiting for you to shake up with shaq. Lol.
Grown man Talk. I like it👍
'bada bam bada boom'
bing bing bing bing
"I realized my days were *outnumbered* " -Shaq 😂😂😂
Lol
And Pat Riley had the audacity to be mad at LeBron James for not telling him he wasn't coming back to Miami.
In his defense seeing how Shaq was a giant among giants and how strong he was, I'd be terrified too.
Shaq is like " hey man, bing bing bing, you know man, bang bing boom, they we said to each to other badabing badum bing bang, an in the end bing bing bing". very eloquent fella
Wow Shaq really grew in this video as a person
He could play for me any day he's a good Man U just have to understand how to talk to him the right way
Shaq was to real for the nba
Shaq Has Played With The Most Elite (individual) Talents Ever, in The N.B.A Hands down... Penny, Kobe, Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Kobe, Nash, Stoudimier, LeBron, Ray Allen, Pierce, K.G etc...
Stephen King everyone Shaq has played with that were really good
Penny
Kobe
LeBron
Wade
Van Exel
Nash
Amar'e
Pierce
KG
Rondo
Nick Anderson
Zo
Horry
Gary Payton
Jason Williams
Shaq seemed so cool
You had a sixth man on the floor in those final Shaq. The ref
In business no one tells the truth shaq business 101
He hella left shaq hanging at the end. Great camera work to try and make it not seem so.
I got arguement that dwade was the base of that 2006 miami finals, i said nope dwade was free to shoot coz shaq was tripple teamed that time. It was shaq who game him that greatness including kobe
Wow this is gold
Pat Riley is a killa .. no regard for human life .. gets the job done .. doesn’t need to get personal if you don’t have to
The one coach who DID, like a professional, let Shaq know he was being traded, was Steve Kerr.
Pat riley would’ve crumpled like an old test if shaq got his hands on him lmao😂
Shaq “ badda-bang, badda-bing, badda-boom” O’neal!!!!!
If he became like this kobe they wont have any beef
When he said "maybe I am the asshole" I now feel content that he admitted lol haha
I wish he was in Miami longer
People always make fun of his voice. I find it really soothing. Am i nuts?😅
hes the reason im a heat fan, everyone called me a bandwagon in 2012 lmao
Shaq makes wade look so small in that thumbnail lmaoo
Remember, Alonzo and Shaq was a great tag team.
NBA GMs have a very nasty habit of not letting players know they've been traded. Jerry West AND Pat Riley both did this to Shaq.
Shaq is that dude. D. Wade is th' truth
No, Wade is the Flash, Paul Pierce is the Truth.
Yea.. the biggest flaw of Shaq was his ego ..Or he would have had more rings..Doesn't matter who the main man is as long you contribute and do your part well. Getting that W is where it's at
this vid made me think my screen was broken
Shaq knew he fucked up with Penny and Kobe. The 3rd time of it happened everyone blames Shaq for all 3.
Every body knows that Shaq. Dwade carried shaq that play off.
badaboom badabing ladeda hippityhopity
Damn pat I had no idea
Pat Riley is a legendary coach but im not big on how he handles players. Very sneaky. Only reason he brought Wade back was because people were on him about it.
Pat Riley was scared cause he knew Shaq would Snap his shit up and send him to Snap City
Shaq was the luckiest guy in NBA history besides Robert Horry! He played with Penny, Kobe, D Wade
Lol
difference is that he was 33 wen he got to miami
And still dominating. He was robbed of his 2005 MVP. He turned that Heat franchise around. And don't say that was Wade because Wade wasn't winning games for Miami like that before Shaq came.
***** Oh yeah, I'm sure he didn't need the aid of Shaq, Haslem, Posey, J. Williams, and company. You're right, Wade did it by himself.
P.S. This was 2005, not mid 2006 where Wade became the official man of the team.
what during the one season before shaq came aka his rookie season?
He still put up 20ppg at age 32-33 for a big man
Imagine thinking LA was your team when Kobe played there.
Kobe hadn't developed into the star he was in his prime, he still had some flaws and Shaq had much more experience so it was Shaq's team
It was his team everyone knows that. This is coming from a Kobe fan who wishes Shaq stayed for Kobe's prime and stayed in shape. We lost 5 good years damn.
you never watched basketball in your life? Shaq was the leader of that team when Kobe was just a rookie and he stayed the leader of that team till he left.
Pat quit from NY for Miami via a fax. Shaq shouldn’t have been surprised that Pat quit him via shipping him out to a doctor appointment.
Why Wade look 5'11 in the thumbnail 😂
Not completely true on Shaq's part.... He got to Miami and still wanted to be the MAN and wanted the offense to go through him which is why they were a mediocre tream at the beginning of that season. Eventually it was GP that told him and made him understand that " the young boy/D-Wade " was #1 option ........
If shaq would have had this attitude playing with Kobe
He would have won another three championships
At least he had time to reconcile with kobe.
rip mamba
Penny and I had beef, Kobe and I had beef... maybe I’m the asshole.
Wow, maybe he truly is the big Aristotle.
That is smart for a 4 year old, every grown up should understand it.
Who was he talking about that couldn’t guard Wade ?? “Graham” ?
