Shaq is 100% correct. Everyone trying to play the same way and just shooting a million 3s has made the game boring and predictable. That's a big reason why the viewers have stopped watching.
Naw the players peaked fans aren't amazed anymore obi toppin touch the top of the backboard nobody said anything people were saying that's easy if you are 6 foot 7 So I feel the fans aren't impressed it's gone take a phenomenon to get peoples attention again
Exactly why I only watch a few live games, mostly lakers and good matches but basketball is the modern Roman games so I mainly tune in for the playoffs, UA-cam highlights are good enough for me at this point in my nba life.
1999 - Malone easily. Alonzo Mourning is #2. 7 teams had more W than Lakers. Spurs win title. 2000 - Shaq easily. Lakers led league with 67W. Should have been unanimous. Lakers win title. 2001 - Iverson. Duncan 2/Shaq 3. In 99 Sixers had 28W, now #1 East. Spurs led league with 58W. Iverson is the little guy and most popular. Shaq miss 15G. Lakers win title. 2002 - Duncan. Kidd 2/Shaq 3. Duncan and Kidd play 82G, Shaq 67G. Sacramento led league with 61W. Lakers 3rd in West. Shaq miss 15G. Lakers win title 2003 - Duncan easily. KG is #2. Spurs led league with 60W. Shaq only plays 67G. Kobe outscores him. Lakers 5th in West. Shaq is 5th in vote. Shaq miss 15G. Spurs win title. 2004 - KG easily. Duncan 2/JO 3. Minny is #1 West with 58W. Pacers led league with 61W. Lakers #3 west. Shaq miss 15G, only has 21 PPG, 6th in vote. (decline has fully started) 2005 - Nash. Shaq is #2. Shaq traded to Miami, Miami and Spurs have 59W. Suns led league with 61. Shaq only has 22 PPG, 2nd yr teammate outscores him. 2006 - Nash. Shaq isn't even top 10. He only plays 59G, only has 20 PPG. Not even best player on his own team. He enver had a chance from 2004 onward, so the only ones he can maybe debate are: 2001 - The NBA chose the feel good come out of nowhere story in Iverson and the Sixers. NBA also announced Philly hosting the next All Star game in 2002. Iverson won the narrative, and using old thinking, Iverson also "matched" Shaqs output. (Spurs had more W, Sixers tied Lakers W total.) 2002 - Lakers #3 in West. Depending on your view, Duncan matched or outperformed Shaq. Lakers only #3 West, and Shaq missed 15 games. This in an era where people are playing 82.
Shaq wanted more MVP's he shoulda' gotten of his fat a*s and worked out in the off season EVERY year, not just the 1999 off season. The real travesty though is Laettner being on the Dream Team over O'Neal.
Kobe should be the role model for players mad at media criticism. He became so excellent that people stopped holding shaq and his court case against him.
The 3 point shooting is an issue. Point taken. But I think the real reason views are down is because cable is dead. Most people aren’t trying to pay a bunch of dough for regular cable when they can pick out the apps they like the most and pay a third of that amount. I mean- what app even shows nba games? Does the casual fan even know? Just sayin.
Hold on now!!!!! I gotta hear your top 5 and you don’t even gotta add an order I just need to see what’s your top 5 with Baron and who didn’t make it!!!
Stephen A is with ESPN and ESPN is way closer to TMZ than it is Sports Illustrated. They love him cuz he has no shame. He’ll say anything, credibility doesn’t mean much to him.
Dame and Gary Trent’s TERRIBLE defensive effort plays a huge role in the bucks lack of success. You need an elite, quick defender in the backcourt if Dame’s gonna be on the floor
How could Shaq say Celtics had an easy title run, Porzingis was injured for most of the playoffs, the bench consisted of only 3 players, and they still beat everybody. Nobody was injured on Dallas in the finals. Porzingis missed finals games too. Smh
Viewership is down because most teams are ass and there’s no offensive versatility. Turn on a Nugs game or a Grizzlies game if you want to watch basketball.
The league needs another Mike Woodson. Dude was with the shits! Did he smoke cigarettes? He gives me heavy smoker vibes. I bet he keep a snub under the car seat
Should only be fifteen made three's allowed a game, After that everything's a two, These new generations got that swiss cheese game holes all up in it, No post no hook Lack of fundamentals it's all about shooting threes One trick ponies
It is not Doc’s fault. Jrue was traded because Giannis wanted Dame who is a completely overrated player. It is so interesting that the ‘community’ always disrespects a blk coach..but never speak on the coaches of other ethnic backgrounds that fail..EVERY SINGLE YEAR ..and keep getting jobs.
I LOVED basketball growing up! I played every, single day. Snow, rain, hail, ice. All over NJ. Cromwell Gym in Staten Island Friday nights. Went to elementary school with Daryl Devero, Troy Stradford and Calvin Duncan. My high school coach coached Brian Taylor who played with Dr. J. The NBA is TERRIBLE!!! I stopped watching 5 years ago after Kyrie hit shot over G.S. to win championship. Tickets cost too damn much! Stupid salaries. Too many threes! No defense. Basket is too low. NBA is a joke. I only go to h.s. games(450 and counting). Better play. $10/$20. No overpaid coaches or players. I'm DDDDOOONNNNEEE.
The NBA is a big man’s concept. They roamed the paint. The ball worked inside and out. The product on the floor today is unbearable to watch. They shoot 3’s and they don’t make it a high clip. And don’t get me started with the defense or the lack thereof
So we not gone talk about him stealing the rap intro from pat bev and roane they corny as hell for tht 😂😂😂 I won’t watch another episode get ya own style
Baron and Kobe battles. Legends in the making. Great show!👏🤗👍

The game bigger then it’s evert been 3 ball away!! Love the game
Nah I blame load management
Naw the players peaked fans aren't amazed anymore obi toppin touch the top of the backboard nobody said anything people were saying that's easy if you are 6 foot 7
So I feel the fans aren't impressed it's gone take a phenomenon to get peoples attention again

Wrong it's not the game it's how the games are produced on streaming
Baron's Warriors days were crazy
Baron was the shit for a minute
No bullshit frfr
I still can't believe shaq only has one mvp...there should be a documentary on that atrocity
WHAT?!?!

@@a_s_g_z Shaq had a better case in 95 then a lot of the years you mention.

Even in death they still are
Keep the legends coming
Dude has the Steven A Twists going. I didn't even think that was legal let alone possible
🤣🤣🤣
Shaq went from supporting Ant to going at his neck!! 😂
BD my guy fr his game was must-see.. Shaq been my guy since “Blue Chips” 😂. Love this! Baron gotta swap out that spades/dominoes 🪑 though .

Great podcast, Baron one of the greatest PGs Top 5!💪🏿
Hold on now!!!!! I gotta hear your top 5 and you don’t even gotta add an order I just need to see what’s your top 5 with Baron and who didn’t make it!!!
@1tmac34 Was wondering who was gon say something 🤣 Kyrie Rose Penny Baron Rondo.
Buggin 😂
Fish filet is hilarious
BD was best PG in his prime of his time
Stop smoking bro. Steve Nash won 2 MVPs during that time.
AI as a combo guard, Nash, Kidd were all better lead guards
Baron davis was just a russell westbrook witho no triple doubles😂
Stephen A is with ESPN and ESPN is way closer to TMZ than it is Sports Illustrated. They love him cuz he has no shame. He’ll say anything, credibility doesn’t mean much to him.

Baron made the warriors cool before steph
Tim Hardaway, Chris Webber and Latrell Sprewell made the warriors cool before Baron did.
How could Shaq say Celtics had an easy title run, Porzingis was injured for most of the playoffs, the bench consisted of only 3 players, and they still beat everybody. Nobody was injured on Dallas in the finals. Porzingis missed finals games too. Smh
Shaq you gotta come with something to compete with the Wyld One gummy my guy. Nobody got it like Wyld.
my favorite people to watch on yt is Shaq, bd. and white chocolate #jasonwilliams
Viewership is down because most teams are ass and there’s no offensive versatility. Turn on a Nugs game or a Grizzlies game if you want to watch basketball.
Shaq could have Dana White set up a power slap with KD and SAS
Sneaky good athleticism similar to Stevie Franchise!
The league needs another Mike Woodson. Dude was with the shits! Did he smoke cigarettes? He gives me heavy smoker vibes. I bet he keep a snub under the car seat
BD was a MONSTER
These 3 heavy teams are never gonna win 2 chips. The floor is too low, ceiling be damned. You gotta beat 4 teams 4 times.
A friend told me to relate this message that Caramel ❤️ is in love with u 😢
Why baron high ass clap for himself
Should only be fifteen made three's allowed a game, After that everything's a two, These new generations got that swiss cheese game holes all up in it, No post no hook Lack of fundamentals it's all about shooting threes One trick ponies
Everything this generation gets involved in is trash on all levels.
Bring back the dominant bigs unfortunately there’s only 1 Greek freak
Push the 3 back lol

Hola SHAQ
The NBA is a big man’s concept. They roamed the paint. The ball worked inside and out. The product on the floor today is unbearable to watch. They shoot 3’s and they don’t make it a high clip. And don’t get me started with the defense or the lack thereof
The game is BORING..just watching long range shots...BORING!!!
👍🏾👍🏿👍🏻❤️
So we not gone talk about him stealing the rap intro from pat bev and roane they corny as hell for tht 😂😂😂 I won’t watch another episode get ya own style
☄️🏀☄️🏀☄️🏀
Shaq old ah
🤧
LeBron has made the NBA ratings terrible with his organization killing spree and shenanigans
Shaq you don’t own a team In The NBA and just because you played, won Championships, guess what? I feel like Ant-Man
bozo. ant man is a clown and shouldnt be speaking on one of the greats to ever touch a court. go back under your rock Doctor
He could if he wanted to😊
@@davidthompson9779 but he dont
I bet Shaq is mad
