He couldn’t do that if The Stifle Tower was guarding him.

Man, what can you do against that? I guess just stand there and watch him dunk it every time like the Clippers did there. Would’ve loved to see his career with Jerry Rice’s work ethic.

He would have been the GOAT if he practiced his free-throws. I weigh less than half of what he weighed and my fingers hurt when I dunk a few times, I wonder how often he ripped open his palms weighing as much as he did.

Imagine Shaq with the work ethic of Kobe. I think both Gobert and Draymond said they could guard Shaq, lol.

These highlights are great because they demonstrate how sophisticated Shaq’s footwork and around-the-rim finishing game were.
A lot of young fans think he just used his strength to bully in and dunk it. No. He used his strength to get post position, but then his game had a very special amount of finesse.

Shaq would absolutely dominate in this age of pace and space. Especially if he had a solid point guard to create little advantages for him
Zealousideal_Bet_83
So much finesse in his game. The quickness of entry pass > create space > spin move > finger roll/dunk is legendary. Who else has ever matched Shaq in the low post? A GOAT among GOATs.

61 points all in the post is actually insane

Imagine if Shaq had Kobe’s work ethic… He might be the greatest ever…

I’m new to basketball. Is 61 points and 23 rebounds bad?
FamousChex
He was reported to be more 350+ POUNDS at this point. No reason for that dude to be that big and move like that
There’s humans and then there’s whatever species Shaq is

i just watched this full game the other night. he had the whole center rotation in hell. olawakandi is the only of the 3 who had any size, and the guy who came in for him after foul problems was only 6’8. i think thats when shaq was like ooooo gimme the ball. then chilkut or whatever his name is came into the game, and hes just way too skinny and timid to guard shaq. it felt like they all had 3 fouls by halftime.

Always wild to me when people claim Shaq didn’t have a post game and just overpowered everyone
Strange_Fault7965
Shaq was so good at recognizing the defense. All the work is done before he even gets the ball. Most of these plays is either him putting up a shot right away, a single dribble and spin, etc. Almost no wasted movements and unbelievable efficiency.
JJRedickBurner
Didn’t Draymond say he could guard him?
Maliluma
He got so many 7 foot guys a job just for their 6 fouls they brought to the table.

Crazy how his post move looks strong and also quick af
jimsauce719
If I remember correctly, the reason why he went off this game was because he couldn’t get extra Clipper’s tickets for his (Shaq’s) family. I think it was near Shaq’s birthday or something. Shaq wanted to punish Sterling and the Clippers for the slight.

He threw a half court alley oop to Kobe at the end of the game.

Do you remember these bigs that probably had to guard Shaq at some point?
Olowankandi – 13 minutes, 5 fouls Pete Chilcutt – 18 minutes, 6 fouls Maurice Taylor – 45 minutes, 5 fouls (also went off for 25/10) Lamar Odom – 26 minutes, 5 fouls (probably more sf then)

Hilarious when donkey fucks like Draymond think Shaq couldn’t dominate in this league. Every few generations, we have a talent that is so dominant and deserves so much attention, that they cause a paradigm shift in the league. MJ did it, Lebron did it, Shaq did it before, Steph did it. They’re so impactful that the league either starts to mimic them or tailor their rosters to combat them otherwise it’s a guaranteed loss. No reason to think Shaq couldn’t come into the league now and cause the paradigm shift and the resurgence of post play, just because of his dominance. Especially an Orlando Shaq.
lakeshow_glasgow
This just made me see the whole “when they defended Shaq, the refs could have called it a foul every time” thing in a new light…because Embiid joined the league and that’s exactly what they did

How many of those lay ups are and 1s too in this era haha

He was good enough to average 40 in his prime but didn’t have the work ethic.
