That smile and celebration after the dunk shows they loved playing with each other. If they kept that same energy they could've gotten more than 6 rings.
Easily top 10 alltime . And whats scary is shaq only truly peaked 1 year cause he was lazy .. 2000 mvp shaq is what he should've been everyyear but he got lazy cause his size and strengh was enough to win
Man Kobe's pass to Shaq for his career high despite the fact that he had a wide open lane to the basket... That's a solid teammate right there. And then Shaq returning the favor by hitting Kobe with the lob. Beautiful
+HeyItsUltra! Wilt's only competition was Bill Russell(who was 6'9 and still managed to beat him) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Shaq played many other great centers during his time. Fuck outta here!
People always say Shaq played good because of his dominant body size and length. But he was really fast and skilled as well. His post spin move and fastbreak mobility were deadly.
Shaq is powerful but without those amazing assists from his teammates he wouldn't have reached such heights of power. Shaq losing the Lakers is proof of that.
+Gamerdude1246 No, it was him being lazy and even he agrees to it. He knows he would have been greater and won more rings if he had a work ethic like Kobe, and he has said so himself.
I think it speaks to his incredibly overwhelming talent that he didn't always play 100% or work as hard as he could and is still Top 10 all time and has 4 rings. Sooo dominant.
That last play was just the icing on the cake! What a dominant performance, Shaq just made it look so easy, damn! I wish the game was more like this nowadays and there were more big men like him!
anyone else remember Shaq on the Cavs in 2010, now just imagine is mo,LeBron, and shaq were in their primes with anthony parker and antwaun jamison untouchable
you could say the same to wilt....what about all the possible 3s west made+ teh additional ft he would have been able to shoot if it was a foul or and one...
Whenever people talk about Shaq, you almost always only hear about the brute force and the monster dunks BUT his footwork and soft touch is just as great and often overlooked.
+HeyItsUltra! Next Youre gonna say Kareem was the most dominant center of all time lmfao not even close to Shaq just lay ups and hook shots for Kareem was Kareem was great so was chamberlain, and Olajuwon
3:18 the chemistry between Shaq and Shaw was evident since their Orlando days. Once Fox passed the ball to Shaw in the corner, Shaq started the spin move.
2000 Shaq was the definition of the perfect center. dominant and physically empowering player i have ever seen. He was the perfect Center. Tall, big, strong, fast, skilled and physical.
He will Never be forgotten - LEGEND status. He is one of my FAV. players. He had real POWER & used his skills to the MAX. NBA UA-cam = keep uploading such classics. One kid will notice (watch) this and maybe in the near future we will see the next big "BIG MAN"
Shaq in his prime especially 2000 was arguably the goat . Can u only imagine if he had the mentality like Kobe ? There be no question he would’ve been the greatest
Shaq-Most Dominant Player Wilt-Greatest Athlete Ever(Guy could bench over 400 pounds, have a 4.4 40 yard dash, touch the top of the backboard.) Russell-Greatest Winner Ever(I don't care that he was in an era that only had 13 or less teams, he has 11 rings, you don't) Magic-Greatest All-Around Player Ever(Could play all positions and still be great on offense and defense, there's a reason he won Finals MVP as a rookie while being a center.) Kobe-Greatest Scorer Ever(81 points, outscores a top seed Mavs team 62 to 61, only player/shooting guard to score four or more consecutive 50 point games since Wilt.) Jordan-Greatest Ever ( You know why.) Stockton-Greatest point guard of all-time Bird-Greatest Small Forward of all-time(You will respect this decision, he doesn't even look like an athlete and has accomplished so much, did so much. Magic and him saved the NBA in the 70s, James could never do that) Pippen-Greatest Defender Ever (Do some research on Scottie, there's a reason why he's in the Hall of Fame, Jordan did not carry him, Jordan needed him and he needed Jordan. ) Curry- Greatest Shooter Ever(Never have I seen anything like him, don't hate on him, he's incredible to watch just like the rest of these greats, has shot more threes per game than anyone ever has and still has a top 3 all-time three-point percentage and his third all-time in free throw percentage.) Carter-Greatest Dunker Ever Rodman-Greatest Rebounder Ever Duncan-Greatest Power forward Ever(Duncan could do everything, Malone was primarily just a scorer, that's why he's 2nd all-time on the NBA all-time scoring list.) Iverson-Best Ball Handler and King of the Crossover, pretty much the most skilled. Hakeem "The Dream"- Greatest Center Ever (10th in all-time points, 13th in all-time rebounds, all-time leader in blocks, 7th all-time in steals, and more than 3,000 assists. Numbers don't lie.) Jerry West-Greatest Clutch Player Ever (Mr.Clutch is his nick name, he's the Logo.) Greatest Coach is hard to pick out since there is Red Auerbach, Pat Riley, Chuck Daley, Phil Jackson, Greg Poppavich, and many more. Let me know if I missed anything.
i personally think kyrie could give ai a run for his money. you cant deny kyrie doesnt have some of the best handles the nba has ever seen but i do respect your opinion of ai being the best mainly because ai has a bigger sample of preformance(like we know of all ais career and kyrie has yet to finsh his career)then kyrie at the moment and kyrie i think should be on here as the best under the rim finisher just cuz he can score in the most ridiculous ways but im only saying that if he continues to preform layups like he does for the rest of hos career.
and numbers dont lie but they dont prove anything. remember they never counted wilts blocks or steals back in that time, so no one knows what those numbers were
and i feel jordan was the most clutch player ever due the significance of alot of his clutch shots being in the playoffs and leading to championship wins. but jerry west was a great clutch player just honestly dont know of his clutch shots cuz i havent seen them(im sure theres plenty of them) i just feel like mjs shots were more important aka clutch because he is flawless in the nba finals partly die to those clutch shots
The Clippers got Shaq's career high of 61, they got David Robinson's of 71. As a franchise, they've just been posterized a lot. Also keep this in mind with seemingly the entire stadium of Lakers fans on their feet, cheering -- that was a Clippers HOME game. Just a punchline of a franchise.
Well yeah this was mvp peak shaq .. this version of shaq i would take over anyone ever .. phil Jackson said 00 mvp shaq is the most dominant player hes coached
You're a fucking idiot. First, Kobe STRIVED Shaq, I'm jot gonna be saying he carried him anymore. Second, LeBron is the only player in NBA Finals history to lead the series in ppg, apg, rbg, stlpg, and blkpg no matter how long the series. I agree that Kyrie helped them win when it MATTERED MOST, but LeBron's Finals stats were a once in a lifetime performance that no one will probably ever achieve besides maybe LeBron. Now hold your L.
I agree with your point but it wasnt all shaq.... after there 3 peat and shaq's 3 straight finals mvps kobe was in his shadow and started trying to do to much instead of playing thru the diesel ... kobe is why they lost 04 finals period .... the 1 year kobe truly played thru shaq was 01 and they sweept everyone including prime duncans spurs
I remember watching this game before every game my junior and sr year..shaq being my all time favorite.my junior year..i was averaging 18 and 12..after this game and watchin these highlights..i was averaging 28 and 16 at the 4 and 5 spot..baby shaq is what they called me..i love how it ended with the assist to kobe!then the high 5!
The two most dominate centers in NBA history Kareem and Shaq both developed a godly hookshot that made them unstoppable scorers. Shaq relied more on physicality though while kareem had length.
That pass to Kobe my gosh!
4:39 good ‘ole assist
He may R.I.P
Shit hit different now
That smile and celebration after the dunk shows they loved playing with each other. If they kept that same energy they could've gotten more than 6 rings.
NBA should definitely keep uploading videos like this.
#Facts take this W my friend ☺
Most dominant Center in history
Shaq Diesel #34 L.A. Laker Golden legend
Shaq in his prime is scary af, top 10 all time
top 5
Top 1
top 0
Top 5 of all time in prime
Easily top 10 alltime . And whats scary is shaq only truly peaked 1 year cause he was lazy .. 2000 mvp shaq is what he should've been everyyear but he got lazy cause his size and strengh was enough to win
Man Kobe's pass to Shaq for his career high despite the fact that he had a wide open lane to the basket... That's a solid teammate right there. And then Shaq returning the favor by hitting Kobe with the lob. Beautiful
Most dominant player in NBA history
+HeyItsUltra! Wilt's only competition was Bill Russell(who was 6'9 and still managed to beat him) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Shaq played many other great centers during his time. Fuck outta here!
+Solomon Kessington ya people who say wilt don't know what they're talking about. Shaq has atleast 75 pounds on him and he's still fast af.
+Solomon Kessington Bill russell was at the celtics with 8 hall of fame players (russel was one of the greatest centers of all time)
+HeyItsUltra! He played like 17 years but ok
+Julian Lang because bill made his teammates better
"I'll score 20 more." - Kobe
On more shots...
Shaq has 28 rebounds tho... and was mvp and finals mvp the same year beat that lol
people typically remember points not rebounds or assists. so kobe 81 does beat shaq 61
Jason Nguyen How many shots and FT's did Kobe take in his 81 point game compared to Shaq's 61 performance.
Shaq>Kobe
People always say Shaq played good because of his dominant body size and length. But he was really fast and skilled as well. His post spin move and fastbreak mobility were deadly.
Kobe and Shaq moment at the end. Kobe assisted for the 61 and that Shaq’s assist for that dunk. So Beautiful.
Most dominant force in Basketball history. Yes, ALL of basketball
agree
Shaq is powerful but without those amazing assists from his teammates he wouldn't have reached such heights of power. Shaq losing the Lakers is proof of that.
+Gamerdude1246 No, it was him being lazy and even he agrees to it. He knows he would have been greater and won more rings if he had a work ethic like Kobe, and he has said so himself.
I think it speaks to his incredibly overwhelming talent that he didn't always play 100% or work as hard as he could and is still Top 10 all time and has 4 rings. Sooo dominant.
no second most doninant player in nba history. wilt is number one.
Now Imagine if Shaq could shoot freethrows. This could have been a 70 point game if he could lmao
Every player has their kryptonite, mj retirements, Lebron cramps, Kobe himself. Curry them ankles
lol cramps that affected him for only 1 match so far lebron has beem perfect on the floor but still he has missed 4 finals..
+The ManDragon D Russell = Cameras
+Bill Nanos Now if he only had more honor as a team player instead of just wanting to be Champ and MVP.
+Khiean Paquete L
That last play was just the icing on the cake! What a dominant performance, Shaq just made it look so easy, damn! I wish the game was more like this nowadays and there were more big men like him!
Shout out to those 5 real clippers fans that made it to the game 😂
lmao ikr, was any one actually a clippers fan back then?
+Gareth 101 facts
+Gareth 101 la fans then...
la lakers is thr best team in nba history
now....
lets ho clippers
too much bandwagon
SHAQ WAS THE LAST GREATEST CENTER OF THE NBA.
yao
Yao Ming was 2nd during that time, then Dwight Howard was coming up.
Karl Anthony Towns is the next if hehas no major injuries
anyone else remember Shaq on the Cavs in 2010, now just imagine is mo,LeBron, and shaq were in their primes with anthony parker and antwaun jamison untouchable
+Collectorman101 i meant Antawn jamison
Shaq was so dominant and athletic in his prime. Just look at the size difference too when odom was guarding him Jesus!!!
FJO 9 not athletic
Fish_Stix69 very athletic
The most dominant player to ever live. This man was truly unstoppable, in his prime there was no one who could contain him.
***** love wilt, but his numbers are inflated a bit. There's a video on youtube about it.
+HeyItsUltra! He's still right. I think wilt is a little overrated and I don't think he'd be able to contain prime Shaq
+HeyItsUltra! Wilt is dominant but shaq is a little more cause of his weight
I could...
J. Cruz yao Ming/ David Robinson
The real question here is how the fuck he made 12/21 freethrows in that game
the mystery is still out there
the world may never know
Who knows? 😂
Some say that if Shaq made all his freethrows, he'd have more points than Kareem.
you could say the same to wilt....what about all the possible 3s west made+ teh additional ft he would have been able to shoot if it was a foul or and one...
2:00 kanye??? 😂😂😂
Wordddd
Glenn rice does look like kanye
I was literally about to comment that hahahaha
+Marcus Barlow It's the chubby cheeks.
What idiot does not know that Kanye once played for the Lakers.
Look how much more beautiful the game was back then.
Whenever people talk about Shaq, you almost always only hear about the brute force and the monster dunks BUT his footwork and soft touch is just as great and often overlooked.
Shaq really saw Kareem on the Clips bench and DECIDED to go off. What a dominant player
These are Wilt Chamberlain numbers holy shit.
Shaq is better then wilt man
+HeyItsUltra! Yeah cause chamberlain Played in a weak era with Russell being the only great center besides chamberlain
+HeyItsUltra! Shaq in his prime would fucking kill chamberlain and make chamberlain his bitch
+HeyItsUltra! wilt wasn't faster than lebron
+HeyItsUltra! Next Youre gonna say Kareem was the most dominant center of all time lmfao not even close to Shaq just lay ups and hook shots for Kareem was Kareem was great so was chamberlain, and Olajuwon
3:18 the chemistry between Shaq and Shaw was evident since their Orlando days. Once Fox passed the ball to Shaw in the corner, Shaq started the spin move.
the so called shaw shaq redemption!
@@giorgosch3383 Well done sir!
2000 Shaq was the definition of the perfect center. dominant and physically empowering player i have ever seen. He was the perfect Center. Tall, big, strong, fast, skilled and physical.
There’ll never be another Shaq. Ever again!
1:59 Kanye West Smile
lmao i thought i was the only one who noticed
Lol, I thought the same thing
haha me too
+Youfail Mon aye but don't get mad
lol you got a weeaboo display picture
This quality is GREAT for it to be recorded 16 years ago
I never realized how lucky I was to watch pure basketball and the most dominant force ever. I miss post play.
Damn ... I love that Kobe smile...
2:19 the way he runs is crazy for a guy his size
Shaq was definitely the best center all time in his prime
5:23 "best birthday ever"
"One of em" - shaq
the lob at the end to top it all of is insane
I thought I was playing 2k when I saw the title 61pts and 28rbs. Damn Shaq had the sliders on 100
UNSTOPPABLE. That last assist to Kobe w the reverse dunk, too. Sweeeeet!
I was born the very next day 🙏 But on another note, this guy was UNSTOPPABLE
You were born yesterday tf
+Brian Scalabrine G.O.A.T
+Brian Scalabrine Didnt know GOAT cant count.He means his birthday is 7 March
😂 That same year too so forreal the next day
You’re 20 now
He will Never be forgotten - LEGEND status. He is one of my FAV. players. He had real POWER & used his skills to the MAX.
NBA UA-cam = keep uploading such classics. One kid will notice (watch) this and maybe in the near future we will see the next big "BIG MAN"
Why is Rice lowkey looking like Kanye west @2:01 . lmao
Shaq and Kobe, one of the greatest duo's of all time. Just incredible.
What a fucking monster. Shaq is by far one of my biggest inspirations
Look at how happy shaq and Kobe were when Kobe got that lob 😔brings back memories
hurts my heart to see Kobe smile like that knowing he’s gone now… 💔
Shaq in his prime especially 2000 was arguably the goat . Can u only imagine if he had the mentality like Kobe ? There be no question he would’ve been the greatest
Looks like an 18 year old playing against 8 year olds
Vividly, I remember this game from the newspaper. I was a middle school student then. Shocked by 61 points.
what a monster
Shaq best center of all time hands down!!!
Huge respect for the LA Clippers home fans cheering like that for Shaq. Good fans can recognize greatness even when it's on the opposite team.
Most of them were probably Lakers fans
+Zach Walker It also was his birthday 🎂
There were no clippers fans their just a laker stadium disguised with different colors.
It's LA people go to the games for entertainment, not so much because they are fans...
U dumb fuck it's staples center that's Lakerland dimwitt scallywag
Classic Performance!! 2020!!
never will be another like him with that much muscle and stamina #godofthepaint
yes there is..
Joseph Lakers24 who?
+monearthe$ Not now but in the future someone would be more dominate
no
Shaq was ahead of his time nobody could guard him he was just unstoppable
You forget how athletic this guy was. I actually get worried when he falls over or crashes into a Christmas tree like he’s hurt himself or something.
Shaquille O'Neal's best career game, respect 💪💖🤛💯.
How do you stop this?
you can't really except foul which a pussy move IMO.
+Kyro ZanMan I already told you IMO if you don't know what it means it means "In my opinion."
+Kyro ZanMan First of all you don't know how to spell and I don't care if it was your opinion or not.
Ask Detroit in 04
+AudioReviews --- Fucking internet. It's like IRS and Taxes. You can't stop this nigga from happening. You gone take it and like it.
That's what I'd call a Shaq Attack. Dude played his heart out that night.
Shaq-Most Dominant Player
Wilt-Greatest Athlete Ever(Guy could bench over 400 pounds, have a 4.4 40 yard dash, touch the top of the backboard.)

Kobe was great but Shaq was better during this time .
Shaq was in his prime while Kobe was still young
dpistons149 well no shit
Kobe was like 22 years old
Well yeah this was mvp peak shaq .. this version of shaq i would take over anyone ever .. phil Jackson said 00 mvp shaq is the most dominant player hes coached
That is stating the obvious
That Kobe oop was the best part of the video.
How old was he here?
28
He turned 28 that day lol
vaids nomiss 17
he turned 46 today so 28.
vaids nomiss I
Shaq was a monster in the paint nobody could stop him
2:22 "there goes kobe...."
He fooled the greatest announcer of all time with that fast break speed.
There's no big man that can dominate a game like he could anymore.
1:57 I didn’t know Kanye West played basketball 🏀
I'd love to watch this whole game.
lmao shaqs face at the end
At his prime, he was unstoppable.. even when he was already at Miami.. we may never see another big man that dominated the league like he once did...
OOOOH YEAH, #JOTA
#Jotaplays
#Jotaplays
#Jotaplays
So dominate there will never be another Shaq that's for sure.
Where the rims lower in those days? Or is it the camera angle that they are using?
Looks lowered
+TheDarkestEdge Shock didn't even jump he just went of tippy toes and dunked it
+TheDarkestEdge he had highest reach off jump in nba history
if you would ever get the chance to stand next to shaq you would never even consider there were lowered. he makes alot of nba players today look short
Chris White just your perception. Rim is standard height.
I saw the highlights of this game like 2 days ago. Good quality on this one.
All those numbers and Kobe still carried him in the clutch. Reminds me of Kyrie doing that to Lebron
I bet you weren't even old enough to watch them play
+9 I was actually
You're a fucking idiot. First, Kobe STRIVED Shaq, I'm jot gonna be saying he carried him anymore. Second, LeBron is the only player in NBA Finals history to lead the series in ppg, apg, rbg, stlpg, and blkpg no matter how long the series. I agree that Kyrie helped them win when it MATTERED MOST, but LeBron's Finals stats were a once in a lifetime performance that no one will probably ever achieve besides maybe LeBron. Now hold your L.
Lebron was the one with the clutch block that set up Kyries shot
+Tra Rags spot on dude
crazy dunk by the bean towards the end ...
also the and spin off for dunk - man almost hit his head on the rim crazy
the guy at 1:58 look like yeezy
Glen Rice
People forget how good of a passer Shaq was.
if only Shaq stay disciplined. could have had more than 5.
I agree with your point but it wasnt all shaq.... after there 3 peat and shaq's 3 straight finals mvps kobe was in his shadow and started trying to do to much instead of playing thru the diesel ... kobe is why they lost 04 finals period .... the 1 year kobe truly played thru shaq was 01 and they sweept everyone including prime duncans spurs
No. If Shaq wasn't who he was he would not have achieved what he did in the first place
Dead ass, I was born 8 days later. Shaq is my favorite player of all time no doubt about it
Kanye? 1:59
Hell yeah 💀
LMAO! someone should screenshot that face and send it to lord kanye
I swear I thought the same thing when I saw it on Facebook
more of that please! upload highlights from his best playoff performance!
Had LA going crazy. not even his stadium. i know its the same city but still
same stadium
Staples center same place
Same stadium just that they switch the floors
Kobe Bryant how did I not know this before lmao
+Donyea Mosley Yeah, are you giving him ATTITUDE??????!!!!
Watching a person that size have such quick feet, play so far above the rim on alley-oops, and lead in transition...insane
No one will ever be as dominant down low as Shaq.
Loved that Lakers championship run in the early 2000's its was so awesome!
Most dominant big man of all time. Nobody could touch big diesel in the paint
I was watch live at tv and SHAQ was amazing at 2000 and 2001 .🔥🔥🔥❤
I remember watching this game before every game my junior and sr year..shaq being my all time favorite.my junior year..i was averaging 18 and 12..after this game and watchin these highlights..i was averaging 28 and 16 at the 4 and 5 spot..baby shaq is what they called me..i love how it ended with the assist to kobe!then the high 5!
Shaq is a center in a league of his own, he slams on these guys like theyre kids.
I love those vids
The NBA used to be so much fun
You can't stop big fella
You know it's a special day when even the Clippers fans are applauding Shaq
Pause at 3:37 - head at the rim...insane athleticism for a dude his size.
Look how many different ways they tried to guard him in this game. Shaq didn't give a shit he just destroyed them all
Damn nba these new vids are nice af
This the curse of the clippers lol no matter what happens it’s always reviews like this out there bringing them back to reality
Toll 👍👍Shaq ist schwer zu verteidigen
What’s was scary about shaq back in the day, is that he could outrun most of the players on the court, at his size.
Such a force
Kobe standing there thinking, "Damn, if only Shaq played this hard all the time" 🤦
The two most dominate centers in NBA history Kareem and Shaq both developed a godly hookshot that made them unstoppable scorers. Shaq relied more on physicality though while kareem had length.
A true big man. Lost art..
Shaquille O'Neal is the best NBA player I have ever seen play live on TV
