yao's version is that once he praised oneal for one shot he said that was a nice move man, and o neal said hold on u speak English? and yao said u never talk to me ofc i speak English.
Some of y'all don't know what embellishment is. He's not lying, he's just telling a true story that's clearly exaggerated a bit so he can flatter his bro Yao Ming.
Yao never took time off and dedicated himself to the Chinese league as well. All that time putting in the work caught up to him. What a shame, things might have turned out much different.
That would be a HORRIBLE boring story to MAKE UP lmao he said “thank man” or some shit that is not a story worth making up lmao especially when the point of it is Shaq was kinda racist lmao he just assumed his dude couldn’t speak English and never learned living in America
Love the fact of how Shaq switch from a joke to "he was a great player" and see how Yao humble down his face too - that is a world class athlete right there
Yao is my second favorite player ever, what truly could have been if he didn't get injured so many times. People say he was only good cause he was tall, watch his fucking film and you'll see how truly great he was. The touch of a feather 7 ft and in, the smooth footwork, the fluid jump shot from 10-15 feet. this man would have been as good in today's NBA as he was when he played
Shaq, I'm in the same boat as you, man. I've known who Yao is for years and I had no idea he spoke English. But I don't watch basketball so that's probably why 😂
The story was so original, even Yao heard it for the first time
Hahahahahahahaha😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course it never happened, why would a 7'7" player need to hit a fadeaway?
@@edwardfitzgerald3877 you obviously never watched then because Yao hit faders
@@edwardfitzgerald3877 and yet he did a bunch of times on Shaq himself
R.I.P Mutombo. Laughing and being happy in the background.
Hit hard
yao ming was like "when did this happen?" lol

@@byw8396 oh fr?
@@byw8396 either way, there’s praise between the two of em
🤣
@@jimihavela i mean, why would they lie about a story like that? Especially during a hall of fame speech?
everyone behind yao was offered "restricted view" seats
Mutumbo is 7'2 yet he look like a kid next to Yao Lmao!
Motumbo is right behind him and can’t see 😂😂😂
Shaq just got confused because he watched Rush Hour the night before.
“Dooo YOOU understand the words that are coming’ outta mah mouth?!”
“Thanks my brother” 🤣🤣🤣
whoa whoa whoa... you speak english? haha
Thx mah brodah
Thx ma brotha
thx ma bratha
@@BlaneNostalgia of course, you never spiked to me Blaine
I don't know if that ever happened but Shaq is a good public speaker.. Yao and AI also had good speeches
Yao actually told the story also
It’s not really that unbelievable lol
Shaq had no reason to lie about that
Some of y'all don't know what embellishment is. He's not lying, he's just telling a true story that's clearly exaggerated a bit so he can flatter his bro Yao Ming.
Exactly
That's what they don't get
Some of y’all? More like most of y’all 😂
Thats the tricky part: Who determines what’s “clearly” exaggerated and what gets lost between the lines?
@123Mathzak Yao probably just said "Thank you" but Shaq said "Thanks my brotha" because it's funnier. Use your brain.
Dikembe’s reaction behind Yao is everything 🤣🤣🤣
RIP the king
You can kind of see Yao reminiscing about how much his career could have been without the injuries when Shaq says he was a great player
glad yao still HOF
Yaobig factor in making NBA international
Not could’ve, he had a great one
Yao never took time off and dedicated himself to the Chinese league as well. All that time putting in the work caught up to him. What a shame, things might have turned out much different.
Yao's probably like thinking lmao this man just made this up for his speech
Well it did happen, Yao did tell the story before also, you can see Yao smile before the punchline.
That would be a HORRIBLE boring story to MAKE UP lmao he said “thank man” or some shit that is not a story worth making up lmao especially when the point of it is Shaq was kinda racist lmao he just assumed his dude couldn’t speak English and never learned living in America
@@byHexted Well it sounds something like taken from Rush Hour when Carter was surprised that Lee could speak english too
@@byHexted to be fair, a lot of Japanese players playing in the MLB never really learn much English
@@byHexted You do realize that there are many many people who don't learn the native language, right?
Shaq is right up there with Mutombo in terms of all time greats
😂
00:34 love the reaction of Yao's wife
0:17 you saw yao's face got sad when shaq said he was a great player
Very beautiful
damn 😢 his career got cut short.
Yea damn injuries
Really miss the old days when all those big men dominating NBA (Shaw, Yao, Duncan, Garnett)
Embiid and Jokic are really good though.
Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, big men are definitely making a comeback.
T-Young (Hawks) becoming big soon
@@strahinjagov hey while we are in this era be glad we got to see this big men play
Love the fact of how Shaq switch from a joke to "he was a great player" and see how Yao humble down his face too - that is a world class athlete right there
These two's friendship story sound like the clowns in the back of the class telling you how they met.

Yao didn't miss a lot of shots. He was great.
Shaq is one of the funniest souls to ever walk this Earth
Behind Yao Ming.
Dikembe mutombo. RIP legend
Love them both! Great legends in bball.
imagine sitting behind yao in the audience.
Jackie and Chris Tucker, hilarious.
0:35 took that white hair guy a second to get it 😂
So funny lol
Yao was like this lying ass nicca 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hakeem Olajuwon bing bing fadeaway🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️

"Thanks my Neega"
Even yao heard this story for the first time
No it is actually a true story. I don't think he said my brother but everything he said was true.
Damn i hate to be who sitting behing yao
U can be 6’8 you still aint seeing shit
@@KillerInstinct1 On God 😂
@@KillerInstinct1 if you 6'8 you're still 10 inches shorter
Dikembe
I bet at 7 foot 2, this was Dikemba Mutombo's first time experiencing how much it sucks to sit behind someone taller than you lol
"I'll take things that never happen for $200"
RIP Mutombo
0:41 we miss you DMX
This is straight out of rush-hour😂
Yao is a cool nba player.
Yao , for me is the greatest Asian Player of all time...
nah it’s the great jeremy lin
Because he is.
@@benh1026 Linsanity run in just 3 months I think and boom forgotten
@@micahbell7840 Yeah I was joking, I just said it because I remember the linsanity craze from back when I was in 8th grade and the shit was so wild
@@benh1026 Then Carmelo came 😅
Yao looks like standing when sitting
Dikembe laughing in the background lmao.
Dikembe Mutombo is 7'2 but look small behind Yao 😯
Even Shaq looks small infront of him 😂
Mutombo reacting the way he does because he understood this a lot being from another country.
if it wasn't for injuries yao could have gone far to the top centers of all time
Great story.
Feels like rush hour plot
Thanks my brutha
Yao the master of disguise
Rush hour on steroids
the good old bing bing fadeaway
Very nice Shaq
"Thanks my bruda."
It's like Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan
it's like that scene straight outta Rush Hour
Bro got this from Rush Hour 😭
My brother from another mother
Shaq has told that story where Yao hit the bing bing, and also that Shaq hit the bing bing. Lol
This is basically Rush Hour: NBA edition. 🤣
Ironically, Yao didn't know Shaq could speak English!
Yao be like when tf this happened? Whatever its funny i am in😂
Dikembe behind Yao like "down in front"
The person who shit behind Yao
aint no way shaq played three years against him and never heard him speak english to his teammates
Gentle giants
“Bing bing Hakeem Olajuwon fadeaway” Them lesson with Hakeem paid off
He copied this from Rush Hour 😂 I’m surprised the crowd laughed along with him, knowing that entire story was fake 🙄
You clearly havent heard of embellishment.The story is real he is just exaggerating it to make it more fun
Shaq, I'm in the same boat as you, man. I've known who Yao is for years and I had no idea he spoke English. But I don't watch basketball so that's probably why 😂
I used to have a Taiwan Beauty Snake named Yao Ming.
It was the only Asian over 7 feet I could think of! 😂😂
Rush Hour vibes lol
Not many people know, Rush Hour was based on this story.
GOD bless 😂
To be fair. English is global. So come on shaq
english proficiency is low in china btw
Yao shot .833 from the line in his career... .833 from a 7'7 center !!!? 😮
044 Bergnaum Orchard
Funny said 7/11
"How Shaq learned Yao spoke English"?
I don't know but that doesn't seem to resemble that English I learned in school....
what exactly is a malasian bang bang fade away?
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
