People who didn’t watch him in his prime don’t know how good his baby hook was. He had a really nice touch around the hoop and didn’t just rely on dunking.
@macabree5856 idk, I think he was better before bulking up, he had a great short shot and baby hook, he was still amazing at dunking, and he was even quicker on defense and rebounds...not to say he wasn't later on, just he was more athletic in his early days obviously
@abel6298 idk, KJV has a lot of incorrect translations...I prefer a more direct translation from the original Hebrew and Latin...something like the Original Script Translation
He was great in LA and I have great memories watching that w my dad but I think lakers was a lil past his prime cuz he gained a bunch of wait and had beef w phil Jackson and Kobe for a bit
Watching him on TNT, you almost forget just how brutal Shaq was... The one thing I always loved about Shaq - if he was within dunking distance, he dunked it. "BBQ chicken style "... with extra ranch
no real talk. it got me thinking all existential like if someone so big yet nimble and athletic now looks so stiff when he walks and moves around... I needa fix my posture
One of the more dominant players of my generation. His Magic and Laker days were a tour de force. I saw #1 live as a kid and it still blows me away, I never had seen anyone do those kind of things in a game.
Any generation. Kareem or bill Russell wouldn’t know what to do to stop him…. Time Duncan couldn’t stop him. Prime Shaq was unstoppable. The only person to beat Shaq was Shaq because he didn’t look after himself the way he should’ve.
When Kobe set foot on the court, the coaches got nervous When MJ set foot on the court, the players got nervous When Shaq set foot on the court, the baskets got nervous
@@chrilpy how does a ball hog help 3peat? How does a ball hog have the most assists in nba history at his position? Make it make sense a ball hog wouldn’t have 5 titles
I was just thinking that. Shaq and Tyson were traumatizing ppl. Imagine dedicating your life to be the best boxer/baller you can be, 24/7 in the gym, only to be completely castrated on live TV by these freaks of nature. R.I.p
A young lean Shaq was as unstoppable as a fully loaded freight train going downhill with no brakes. Nothing was stopping him. I was a young man when the lakers got him from the magic, and along with all the hype surrounding Kobe, it was one of the most exciting times to be in LA. God I loved that laker team. Thank you Shaq for the 3 championships you brought us and the memories.
@@angryguy6116 whats in the pipe??? You know how much bigger and heavier is shaq than zion how did you even find the courage to say something like this lol
How Shaq is not talked about in a good portion of goat convos is beyond me. This guy averaged over 20 points a game as a center, averaged 10+ rebounds a game and 2.3 blocks a game! He’s the center I would pick if building my “dream team”
Wilt constantly scored 40 points a game based in his shots, 25 rebounds, uncountable blocks, lead in points, ppg, most points in one game, lead in ASSISTS, etc and had the league rules changed to stop him. Bill was a so dominant defender he won 11 titles even over Wilt, that's just incomparable. Kareen was the best shooter of them, the most high leveled carreer, the greatest signature move of the game that made him the greatest scorer of all times before the 3pt revolution that is just unfair comparison to those who even had a line to shoot. Hakeen had the 2# best footwork and post moves ever, just behind Kevin McHale. He is top 10 in 5 main statistics like steals, ppg, rebounds and is computed as the greatest blocker ever. Shaq just couldnt shoot the ball. He was the 2# strongest player ever and had a decent footwork but that was all he had. Never lead the league ever even in rebounds and thats humiliating to a guy "so dominant"
Shaq is one step down guys like them and Moses Malone, who was 3 times MVP and the greatest offensive rebounder ever. Shaq is holding hands guys like David Robinson and that's a lot to a guy who couldn't shoot
When Shaq left the Lakers, only then did I truly realize his greatness. Watching him dominate all those years you get used to it, then when new guys came in you see how easy he had made it look.
I think he may mean in today’s NBA. Not too many big men these days who have great footwork and can just move these dudes out the way like they’re children. Now they’d rather stand at the top of the key and shoot threes, I get they need to, but this is a guard heavy league where “small ball” is more prominent. Someone needs to punish these dudes.
Happy 50th Birthday to Big Fella, Big Shaq Diesel, Big Aristotle Best Wishes Always & Congratulations for Being Top 50 Greatest NBA Player of ALL time Shaq Superman.
The thing that I love about Shaq dunking is the way he does it. He does it with so much power and weight, you can see the rim and board bend. It also sounds different. It's appealing watching Shaq dunk lol. There's nothing quite like it, like witnessing a freak of nature do their thing.
His hands were massive too. He could palm the ball without losing control and that helps when your dunking. Many of the new players cradle the ball to dunk. And at the time, NBA centers weighed 260lbs. Shaq as a rookie was 270, by the time he grew into his body with after 5yrs in the league he was 305lbs.
I'm 1 minute in, and Shaq just abused Duncan and Robinson on the same play, then the very next clip bodies MJ ... People forget just how dominate Shaq was. Don't get confused by the smile, that man was an absolute beast!!
Shaq's greatest ability was his availability. I can't believe a guy that big who played with that much power stayed healthy all throughout his prime. A true athletic marvel. Diesel was the epitome of dominance and ferocity. CAN.YOU.DIG.ITTT!!!!
Man he was so intimidating and dominant. You knew your squad didn't stand a chance. Danny Fortson got a new contract just because he played decent defense vs Shaq in a playoff series. What a time.

Without a doubt. They literally had to change rules because of him. People compare Embiid (who I absolutely love) to him, but it's not even a comparison. Nobody was as dominate. You couldn't even enter the paint when he was in the game, and your big man was pretty much useless against him.
