DeAndre Ayton Joins GameTime, Talks Game 2 Win - Bucks vs Suns | 2021 NBA Finals

[@MiteyMax9]

Ayton's huge smile when Shaq first starts talking brings me such joy. You know he is/was such a huge fan of his and just the respect that he's getting from Shaq I'm sure means the world to him. So glad to see the big DA getting the recognition!

[@Seddysaid]

Well yeah imagine when you were 22 and you had someone like Kobe or Jordan telling you he’s proud of you, that’s like a dream

[@Zolani12]

Me too. Warms my heart actually. This kid is shining in the moment. Great to see. And great to see the adulation and respect the vets are showing him. He seems like a very genuine and nice kid.

[@Itakotsu]

Shaq just glad to see Centers playing like a true big rather than bigs staying on the 3 pt line

[@gulfside13]

I love how Shaq really rocks with Ayton. Sometimes he’s salty af like with Gobert and Dwight, but it’s good to see him show love to the up and coming big men.

[@drphot6050]

Because of they didn’t or don’t dominate enough to his liking.

[@mrniz461]

He hates on Dwight because he thinks Dwight stole his Superman nickname during the dunk contest back in 2009. He hates on Gobert because he got paid way more than most athletes ever did in his time playing. But that's just how the game is today. Much higher salaries. There are other centers that Shaq does kind of show his insecurity around though.

[@agrimsingh]

@@mrniz461 i think shaq's gobert hate is not purely a money thing but how often he gets played off the court for someone who makes that money and is supposedly the dpoy. he has a similar take on embiid a few years back and embiid talked about how it inspired him to be better (and shaq has since praised him for it ie being dominant)

[@baka825]

And Ayton is a real big man too, none of that shoot 3 bullshit, he stayed down low, dominate the board, score in the paint, high percentage shots.

Not a great game for him, but if you notice, after Coach Monty gave him that speech, the plays they show in the video are literally some of the next several plays coming out of that timeout.
