Right! Shaq wouldn't be able to hold Joker to 15 points.

Facts. He won't even take 5 min to look up adv stats that show Rudy's the greatest defender all time and not close. Shaq a legend with huge platform and he needs to be better. Shaq a casual

Funny how Shaq will not hesitate to praise AD's defense, yet Joker smoked him in the playoffs last year. Now suddenly its a problem that he did well against Gobert? Dude just replaced Dwight Howard with Gobert and is hating
This is exactly why LeBron James paired up with JJ for their podcast. It’s clear as day that a lot of the retired players don’t understand/watch the current game of basketball.
@@Coldassyeah the steroid rumors that have been going on since Miami and have been debunked multiple times before. Makes sense that in the year of our lord 2024 he chooses to argue against it now.
Right? He’s consistently listed as a top 10 player all time. He has a good argument for being the greatest big man of all time. Why’s he hating on Gobert so much? Nobody on the planet thinks Gobert is better than Shaq
Maybe because he knows that what everyone says about him is true. That as great as he was, he could have been much greater if he had been more disciplined. Perhaps he's scared that he might be surpassed by a player that he should have been greater than if he had stayed in shape. The greatest insecurity comes from knowing that you didn't do as well as you could have done. From your own 'potential'.
If you read Shaq's biography and learn about his upbringing, you'll realize Shaq has daddy issues. He internalized the whole military thing as positive but it was actually abuse...
Maybe Shaq should keep his mouth shut about an era he didn’t play in, doesn’t watch, and doesn’t understand if he doesn’t want his dumbass opinions to be exposed by modern NBA fans.
Exactly bro so why tf expect RUDY GOBERT to lock down one of the greats if he himself couldn’t do it🤦🏾♂️ old ahh hatin cuz the bags are bigger nowadays. Let’s be real when it comes to the greats there’s no true way to stop them. That’s why they’re considered GREAT
Hey now, other nba players who watch the games toss out terrible takes all the time too, he might not be a casual, he might’ve just made it as far in the league as he did off absurd natural talent and just not know the game that well.
@bryanfoster326 Nah, unapologetically Shaq is a casual. His silly takes are way too frequent. It's genuinely like he doesn't watch games at all. This, combined with the fact that he's OBVIOUSLY bitter about today's game and the fact that certain players make more money than him. I'm not saying he knows nothing about basketball, or something. Obviously he was amazing in his prime, one of the best to ever do it, but he's such a poor analyst, and yet that's what he's getting paid to do - analyse the game.
@@PeterBarkerMusic lol, we definitely agree on him clearly being bitter, but I’m saying he might just not know ball like that. So many of his takes are just absurdly bad, and he doesn’t really seem to have much in the way of analysis skills, that I’m kinda convinced he just made it so far before because he’s one of the greatest physical specimens of all time which overcame the fact that he just doesn’t have ball IQ.
tbh i hate that most fans nowadays will shit onna player and be in total agreement until an old head shits on them then fans come out the woodwork defending said player
Gobert earning DPOY multiple times in THIS era of basketball as a Center, with all of those pick and roles, screens and all of the scoring being done in todays NBA is amazing to me, and my favorite era as an NBA fan was the 90s and 2010s. I just don't get why Shaq is hating on him.
Shaq this era would've been cooked af with all the switching involved in defense and stretch bigs 😂😂😂😂 Yea he would dominate the paint but could he play the pace that this era requires?
If they don’t like you, you don’t deserve to be paid, but if they like you, they’ll be preaching that the league/team is stealing your money or that you’re undervalued, it all depends on who likes you and who doesn’t, Rudy should see this, look at his bank and laugh because at the end of the day it means nothing as long as his contact is met and he gets his money.
So ur discrediting an era of players before 2000 because a couple of old heads are delusional. This is why nba discourse will never change. I’m not gonna act like the old heads are right but ur just listening to the minority as they get the most exposure because of these takes. Most of them don’t say nothing.
Yeah Rudy has been averaging 12 & 8 but he has anchored multiple top tier defense for at least the past 6-7 years. He has 3 and will win his 4th DPOY this season
Just by that he shouldn't be tied with dikembe and Ben Wallace with the most dpoys that's insane id rather have people that have 1 or 2 dpoys over Rudy gobert
you can't be Defensive Player of the YEAR when ppl are looking for you off screens in the playoffs. Rudy Gobert can hold down the inside but that's about it, he's stolen a couple of DPOYs.
@@kesavenelayapallavan7414yes you can. DPOY is a season award not a playoff award. If Rudy Gobert has stolen a few dpoys before tell me who should've won it when he won the award instead?
I’m a proud old head and growing up Shaq was the most dominant big ever! That being said none of those gentlemen past or present are holding Joker to 15 at some point we have to draw a line between criticism and hate.
Yeah, we get that. But Shaq never will. Demar DeRozan made more annually in 16-17 than Shaq's biggest year around 05-06. And it's only gone up. Like now people are making almost double Shaq's highest payday. No wonder he's mad. It doesn't mean he's worse. And nobody goes backward saying they're worse, the olds just get all pissy. If I'm offered $50M, I'm taking $50 damn M.
I don’t understand the money logic with the OGs. Rudy makes 200m because of Shaq and others who paved the way in the league and Rudy reaps the benefits from his work just like Shaq benefited from the ones before him like Magic and Larry did for him.
1. Jokic averages 20/10/7 against Gobert career wise but since 2019-20 he averages 28/11/9.8. clearly a falloff. Yet Gobert (probably) will win DPOY this year due to this recent run without KAT. 2. Brook Lopez makes $24 Million a year and his stat line this year is *checks notes* 12/5/1. 3. Deandre Ayton is putting up the same stat line that Shaq mentioned and he's getting $30 million a year. Shaq could definitely clear Rudy Gobert money based off of name alone with that stat line. 4. Yes, Shaq hates on a lot of centers. See how multiple things can be true at once?
@BAMA-MAN256 They absolutely wouldn't, they would be useless on offense and get absolutely cooked on the perimeter. If you have no offensive game besides dribbling 39 times trying to back someone down you don't have a job in today's nba
The amount of hate Rudy got is shameful. The media killed him in Utah because he could not cover 4 of his teammates bad defense at the same damn time and was made out to be a scapegoat for Donovan Mitchell. Even with all of that is he overpaid... f*** to the yes.
What I find really weird about the "keep Jokic under 15" thing is that Jokic is the one big who can still absolutely shred your team while getting 14 points. That dude can drop 14 points but give you 18 rebounds and 17 assists while completely running the game.
Wonder why folks are saying they're done with the older generations of basketball it stems from those barbershop talks of thrashing the newer generation while not watching the newer product can't make this up 😂
He’s been the anchor of a top rated defense for the past 7 seasons. Always top of the league in opponent paint fg% and guess who people take the least paint shots against??
@@niqowyd I’m not saying he ain’t good but his defense ain’t so amazing to where it’s like Ben Wallace to where it is resulting in a championship or deep playoff runs
@@destinedforgreatness3030 I just replied to another dub who brought up Ben Wallace lmao completely different team and era. Do people just forget Ben had another good ass rim protector next to him in Sheed? Rudy got KAT next to him😂

@@destinedforgreatness3030 numbers say he has better defensive impact but if you wanna dumb it down and bring up a ring from 20 years ago sure. Ben didn’t have to play Jokic in the 1st round lmao
Hey LOW. I do my best to watch you every stream (ahock), and I just wanna let you know you’re doing an amazing job with streaming and uploading consistently. I always see a video from one of your channels when I get off work and it gets me exited. Keep up the terrific work!
I believe he is a good Defender. But not a lockdown defender. He does his job. He gets exposed on the perimeter because of his footwork. But that's the problem with all centers. The bigger you are, the less Lateral movement you have.
On one hand, Shaq is one of the biggest philanthropists, happy and loving dude. On the other hand he's a dude that ate himself out of the league and hates anybody 6'10 and up
I’m a die hard Nuggets fan and I’ve seen almost every matchup between Jok and Gobert. He’s one of 3 players I’ve seen send a Jokic floater back to half court. Shaq is INSANELY bitter and it’s a shame. You rarely see NFL legends talk about current players like this.
He clearly feels like the center play isn’t up to par as it used to be and feels like the pay doesn’t reflect the numbers. I feel like every generation of athletes has a little bit of that.
For a while I’ve been wondering who you reminded me of and finally it clicked that it was the comedian Ryan Davis, your manner of speaking and mannerisms resemble him a lot.
The issue with those podcasts that star an ex player (especially if they were superstars like Arenas and Shaq) is that they are surrounded by yes men who don't dare challenge their points and agree with what they say even if it's clearly a boneheaded take.
I remember Shaq complaining about Wilt & Kareem were too critical of him before he won his first ring. Now he being overly critical of Rudy who’s has quietly put together a hall of fame career
For those of you that didn't grow up with Shaq, he's always been like this. He thinks a center making more money than him or getting any sort of attention is somehow a critism against him. He hated on Dwight Howard, hated on Javale McGee, hates on Rudy. The only center he didn't hate on was Embiid. For a while he hated on Jokic, calling him a soft euro. Honestly, Shaq would get torched in todays game. He would get 6 offensive fouls before half-time and if he didn't he definitely wouldn't be able to guard the best players in todays league on the perimeter like Gobert or Wemby. Shaq came into the league at the perfect time, class of 92'. Before the league realized that skill at basketball was actually important.
I just wish you’d sit with Shaq and have this conversation. See how’d go. People pick at Shaq like he doesn’t know the game or something. The man is one of the greatest to ever do it. He knows basketball. His thoughts on today’s game is because guys like gobert aren’t built like him and he doesn’t score. Him getting so much money for just being a deterrent probably seems bizarre to a guy who was such a generational talent like Shaq. If the rules were changed to a more aggressive physical game I’d be interested to see Gobert’s impact on the court. If he’d be in the paint banging around.
One of the most successful players, and one of the insecure players. Yes, I love what he does for the communities, but him being a little insecure about Gobert speaks volume about his knowledge about the players.
Gobert almost never GET'S to shut down 1 player coaches prefer to use him to shut down paint to all instead with very few exceptions. In fact look up "Luka v Rudy late in 4th" it shows Luka go at Rudy 4-5 straight times to determine the game and coach didnt bring help or switch out Rudy just 2 studs on an island for the game. Rare situation when Rudy was best used to shut down 1 guy since it was Luka time.
I love Shaq most of the time but he's bitter.Appreciate that D Wade and the late Kobe got you chips.By the way,Sir Charles and tne Jet could both play in today's game.Shaq couldn't.
if u think about it, it's really easy to make shaq hate a certain player, just say that "player A is the most dominant player i've ever seen" and now sit back and enjoy because shaq about to keep hating on that player for the rest of his life 😂
I don’t even see peak Shaq keeping Jokic under 15 points, much less Rudy. Jokic isn’t gonna stay in or go straight to the paint if Shaq is on him. He’ll go the three line or stay in the mid-range
The era of dominance centers ended with Shaq retirement, until jockic came along and plays the point center and Rudy Gilbert is three time DoPY , yes that great
"he's 7"6 ofc he'll get blocks" he's listed at 7"1...same height as you..
Bro sound like flight reacts
Exactly and Shaq never lead league in rebounds or blocks even in his prime when all the greats retired

The amount of hate Rudy got is shameful. The media killed him in Utah because he could not cover 4 of his teammates bad defense at the same damn time and was made out to be a scapegoat for Donovan Mitchell.
Even with all of that is he overpaid... f*** to the yes.
Do a video on him saying Dwight shouldn’t get his jersey retired
Shaq one of the biggest haters in the history of the nba
Shaq is the same guy he was as a youngin. He invented a beef w/David Robinson, that should tell you everything you need to know.
Had one with Bill Walton that lasted years too because of some slight (and legit) criticism Walton shot his way when Walton was an NBA analyst.
We ask that of ad , dwight howard what u mean we dont ask
Y’all defend Rudy like he’s freaking Hakeem lol.
When y’all dropping a playback video man??
Ahh, yes, my favorite pastime; LOW calling out old heads for being hypocrites, you gotta love it.
They do the same thing with draymond just because you aren’t great in one specific thing doesn’t mean you aren’t a good defender
What I find really weird about the "keep Jokic under 15" thing is that Jokic is the one big who can still absolutely shred your team while getting 14 points.
That dude can drop 14 points but give you 18 rebounds and 17 assists while completely running the game.
Wonder why folks are saying they're done with the older generations of basketball it stems from those barbershop talks of thrashing the newer generation while not watching the newer product can't make this up 😂
honestly i don’t even hate shaqs take. For how much Gobert makes and how much the Wolves gave up for him he is kinda overpaid
Bam doesn’t have 3 Dpoys so bad argument for gobert. He’s not as good a defender as ben Wallace
Shaq don't do nothing but hate
3:08 pause.. put some respect on the late great name... 😂😂
I think he is overrated on defense too tbh like just a lil bc he could be more impactful on defense I prefer ad or Giannis
He’s been the anchor of a top rated defense for the past 7 seasons. Always top of the league in opponent paint fg% and guess who people take the least paint shots against??
@@niqowyd I’m not saying he ain’t good but his defense ain’t so amazing to where it’s like Ben Wallace to where it is resulting in a championship or deep playoff runs
@@destinedforgreatness3030 I just replied to another dub who brought up Ben Wallace lmao completely different team and era. Do people just forget Ben had another good ass rim protector next to him in Sheed? Rudy got KAT next to him😂
the hate around him is still so unnecessary he can't control being given a 100 million contract what they give is what you take and his given a great contract he be dumb to reject it and mfer hating him cuz of it no other center is hating on rudy other than shaq this guy still beefing with dwight when nobody cares about it anymore
@@destinedforgreatness3030 numbers say he has better defensive impact but if you wanna dumb it down and bring up a ring from 20 years ago sure. Ben didn’t have to play Jokic in the 1st round lmao
Shaq thought that we forgot about his Boston days 💀
Hey LOW. I do my best to watch you every stream (ahock), and I just wanna let you know you’re doing an amazing job with streaming and uploading consistently. I always see a video from one of your channels when I get off work and it gets me exited. Keep up the terrific work!
I believe he is a good Defender. But not a lockdown defender. He does his job. He gets exposed on the perimeter because of his footwork. But that's the problem with all centers. The bigger you are, the less Lateral movement you have.
The perception of Gobert never recovered from that time he touched all the mics
11:06 funny enough, Embiid was in that same situation in the offs last year when Tatum torched his ass in game 7
No other sport do the retired players hate on the current game and the current players than basketball
It just goes to show today that tv nowadays looks for clicks more then UA-cam
On one hand, Shaq is one of the biggest philanthropists, happy and loving dude. On the other hand he's a dude that ate himself out of the league and hates anybody 6'10 and up
Shut up Shaq!! Ain’t nobody holding Joker to 15points!! His bag is to deep!
I’m a die hard Nuggets fan and I’ve seen almost every matchup between Jok and Gobert. He’s one of 3 players I’ve seen send a Jokic floater back to half court. Shaq is INSANELY bitter and it’s a shame. You rarely see NFL legends talk about current players like this.
😂🤣😅 Wait hold on, the hell with everything else Shaq said why the hell did just add FIVE INCHES to this man height? Come on Shaq, ....... DAMN 😆😅🤣😂
He clearly feels like the center play isn’t up to par as it used to be and feels like the pay doesn’t reflect the numbers. I feel like every generation of athletes has a little bit of that.
Shaq: You gotta hold Jokic under 15 points
Also Shaq: Gets his ass whooped by Hakeem
Shaq should learn a crazy concept called inflation so he doesn’t keep acting like a salty old man
Most of your takes be on point but this I have to disagree. Rudy is not a 200 million dollar center. We look at the career.
I immediately was pondering on who the hell did Shaq shutdown to 15 points that was worth something!
A prime Shaq was like the black basketball Brock Lesnar he'll enjoy to destroy any opponent that's in his path
If Rudy Gobert was a baguette, current Shaq is a loaf of plain white bread that got sat on
For a while I’ve been wondering who you reminded me of and finally it clicked that it was the comedian Ryan Davis, your manner of speaking and mannerisms resemble him a lot.
Utah was highly ranked when gorbet was there and surprise now Minnesota is highly ranked
Props to you for giving flowers to Rudy
Gil and mccants take about LeBron in the 4th qtr in comparison to kyrie and wade could be the most insane comment of the century
What’s funny is that Joker would drop 40 on Shaq. 😂😂😂
The issue with those podcasts that star an ex player (especially if they were superstars like Arenas and Shaq) is that they are surrounded by yes men who don't dare challenge their points and agree with what they say even if it's clearly a boneheaded take.
NGL I don’t even think Shaq can hold Joker to 15
The nerve of Shaq to talk about someone’s era being weak on bigs and another persons defense when he wasn’t a good defender
Bruh I rock w/ u and the content🔥🔥... but WHY U ALWAYS UNNECESSARILY YELLING?!??...🤷🏽♂🤦🏽♂for no reason too 😆😅
Mourning Look better literally means being better. It’s not an era thing.
I remember Shaq complaining about Wilt & Kareem were too critical of him before he won his first ring. Now he being overly critical of Rudy who’s has quietly put together a hall of fame career
You're right making this video, we need to be analytical 😊
For those of you that didn't grow up with Shaq, he's always been like this. He thinks a center making more money than him or getting any sort of attention is somehow a critism against him. He hated on Dwight Howard, hated on Javale McGee, hates on Rudy. The only center he didn't hate on was Embiid. For a while he hated on Jokic, calling him a soft euro. Honestly, Shaq would get torched in todays game. He would get 6 offensive fouls before half-time and if he didn't he definitely wouldn't be able to guard the best players in todays league on the perimeter like Gobert or Wemby. Shaq came into the league at the perfect time, class of 92'. Before the league realized that skill at basketball was actually important.
If u a center n shaq hatin on u you on the right track 😂
LOW: 🤦🏾♂️
Shaq: Ain’t no woman like the one I got!
I just wish you’d sit with Shaq and have this conversation. See how’d go. People pick at Shaq like he doesn’t know the game or something. The man is one of the greatest to ever do it. He knows basketball. His thoughts on today’s game is because guys like gobert aren’t built like him and he doesn’t score. Him getting so much money for just being a deterrent probably seems bizarre to a guy who was such a generational talent like Shaq. If the rules were changed to a more aggressive physical game I’d be interested to see Gobert’s impact on the court. If he’d be in the paint banging around.
I get shaq hates centers because he wants every center to be better or close to him in numbers
One of the most successful players, and one of the insecure players. Yes, I love what he does for the communities, but him being a little insecure about Gobert speaks volume about his knowledge about the players.
Gobert almost never GET'S to shut down 1 player coaches prefer to use him to shut down paint to all instead with very few exceptions. In fact look up "Luka v Rudy late in 4th" it shows Luka go at Rudy 4-5 straight times to determine the game and coach didnt bring help or switch out Rudy just 2 studs on an island for the game. Rare situation when Rudy was best used to shut down 1 guy since it was Luka time.
I love Shaq most of the time but he's bitter.Appreciate that D Wade and the late Kobe got you chips.By the way,Sir Charles and tne Jet could both play in today's game.Shaq couldn't.
Shaq won those rings.
I guess Jrue Holiday is not quite a lockdown defender because of Jimmy Butler?!
if u think about it, it's really easy to make shaq hate a certain player, just say that "player A is the most dominant player i've ever seen" and now sit back and enjoy because shaq about to keep hating on that player for the rest of his life 😂
You have a beef with spoons and forks. Fck a salad huh 😂
I don’t even see peak Shaq keeping Jokic under 15 points, much less Rudy.
Jokic isn’t gonna stay in or go straight to the paint if Shaq is on him. He’ll go the three line or stay in the mid-range
3:12 no diddy man
The era of dominance centers ended with Shaq retirement, until jockic came along and plays the point center and Rudy Gilbert is three time DoPY , yes that great
