I like Shaq’s trophy story.

I like goofy Shaq but I love serious Shaq.

[@reajaga2471]

Chris Broussard, imo is the sports journalist now. He has enormous knowledge about the game and he appreciates it. Big shouts to you man, this is the best show now and keep doing more, we appreciate you!

[@sammymoore5391]

Well said!

[@Illmatic662]

While I wouldn't go that far, I thought ESPN was holding this guy back. I always felt like they tried to put Stephen A Smith above him, but Chris Broussard is better then Stephen A Smith and has a better personality.

[@SuperJohn12354]

I think all of the "personalities' like him coming on their shows, but i think they all know he would be better than they are, so they haven't helped push him to have his own show, his podcast will be proof of concept for his own show, so if you think he should have his own show like me subscribe, like, and tell people about it.

[@ogbmt]

I remember a few years ago, he had comments about homosexuality blown out of context and proportion. Around the same time he tweeted that sources had told him something about Mark Cuban and Deandre Jordan. Cuban then claimed this was completely false. This was all meant to make him look like a homophobic liar, but looking back on things I can't see any other examples which back this idea up at all, and to me he is just the realest of the sports journalists. He doesn't get over emotional and say ridiculous hot takes all the time like: Stephen A, Skip, Cowherd etc. He never disrespects any players either. He has sensible takes on things and tries to understand where people are coming from. Just comes off as a humble and great guy and I respect him a lot more than all the other most popular sports journalists who cover the NBA.

[@MJComicsTx_]

keep posting Chris! Best KZbin sports show!

Shaq is one of the most coolest people on earth.

[@wxxcable]

W/his natural, physical gifts, Shaq was supposed to be the greatest Center of all time. Don't know if greatest, but I still think he's the most dominant C in history considering the tough time he was in

[@ivansolano9383]

He was suppose to be the greatest player period. But he let his gut stop him

[@likemikegenerationx2]

wxxcable He didn't have the work ethic. He coulda been a better free throw shooter than he was, and him losing weight woulda extended his playing career

[@najeenixon1834]

@@likemikegenerationx2 Well, he played 19 years, so his career was extended enough. He just was more consistent for like his first 12-14 years. I also wish that he was a better defender outside of just blocking shots, like he was in Orlando, where I believe he was at his best.

[@BILLHILL357]

@@najeenixon1834 ... HE WAS A LOT SMALLER THEN.. GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUNG SHAQ.. LOL ALMOST HALF THE MAN HE IS NOW

[@csd8204]

Had Shaq not gotten hurt that first year in Miami, they would've possibly gotten two in a row. People have forgotten how great Penny was. To be that tall he had the tightest handle of all the big guards - Magic included. Just a superior player.

[@greennimbus2519]

I always thought of penny being the 1st tmac but as pg. Weirdly they both got injuries

[@lake_cooper]

"Miami" and "Penny"?????? Duuuuude, do you even know what you're yapping about? LMFAO... Helloooooooo... Penny and Shaq were earlier, IN ORLANDO. Shaq's ring in Miami was yearrrrrs later, and Penny NEVER played there with him. It was D-Wade, Alonzo, "White Chocolate", GP, etc... Man, stop smoking whatever you are before you comment... ***smh***

[@markwalkernmlb]

RIP Phil, he was everything, comical, crazy, and generous. I miss him. Shout out to Lucille too.

[@BostonBori92]

Ppl dont really understand how great Penny Hardaway was...Magic Johnson himself dubbed Penny "the next Magic Johnson" he was the first athletic scoring point guard in the league before him PG ran offenses and occasionally scored Penny ran the offense like Magic was athletic like Dominique and scored like Mike...he was amazing

[@legariansteele3643]

Plus penny hard way was a very big point guard at 6'7"

[@oldnbaschool]

Next with Kobe, Chris!

[@kweefsweat5628]

I've always wondered why it is so easy to get to the hole nowadays literally 3s and easy layups are all the NBA is now

[@mduar1000]

C Moe cause if a guy like curry who drives to the basket and gets lightly tapped, the refs are gonna call foul

[@inlovewithi]

Rule changes in 2005, such as the elimination of hand checking, defensive three seconds. An this year we're getting a lot of 130+ game because of more rule changes to cripple defense.

[@jasonjasonson9154]

C Moe no handchecking

[@herbdean6508]

no its spacing cause bigs can shoot which means you can't help as easy back in the 90s the lanes were clogged cause big men didn't shoot

[@SS-HTMR]

that's why most of the dunks filled all daily top 10

[@imperiousrex1873]

Shaq has always been my favorite athlete from a personality stand point

[@allonisaacr2929]

I had no idea he's got a master's, that was a very good interview and Shaq was solid.

[@kadiraydukureh7680]

Shaq is the best very nice guy and very talented he can rap make people laugh and play sports

Chris Broussard is one of the best and realist. Everyone else is schticky. Chris Broussard isn't playing a character like his cohorts.

[@lake_cooper]

Love the Shaqster ♡

[@eazythetruth]

Chris broussard is the 🐐 fr . Imagine if Shaq had a decent 3 point shot and played like dirk sometimes back in the day 😱 but tbh Shaq it's curry who made the entire nba change and everyone shoot more 3s . He's the reason iso ball is dead (along with Nash and the mid/late 2000s sun's) . Bc there is no one like you except maybe Giannis (big men who strictly play the paint and are almost unstoppable) but 3point shooting is up like 25% bc of curry

[@cmoneyno5]

Shaq is actually a good 3 point shooter... But he played his position..

[@jonpoon3896]

If Shaq played today, he’d score the same but with higher assist numbers. Rebounds would also be very easy for him

[@ericanderson7059]

How would young Shaq fair against Lew Alcindor 2-3 years into each of their careers unfortunately I was too young to have seen the latter play until much later (79 -80 ) or I should say how would they fair against each other .

[@ernestolopez5501]

Let's discuss. My top 10 would probably go like: 1: Michael Jordan 2: LeBron James 3: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 4: Magic Johnson 5: Wilt Chamberlain 6: Bill Russell 7: Larry Bird 8: Shaquille O'Neal 9: Kobe Bryant 10: Tim Duncan Hakeem Olajuwan at 11 and Oscar Robertson at 12.

[@jackpappas2961]

Good list This is what I got 1. MJ 2. Bron 3. Shaq (at the peak of his powers, I know he didn't last as long as he should've and could've had more rings but 7'2 330 can't be stopped) 4. Wilt (If the folk tales are true) 5. Kareem 6. Russell 7. Magic 8. Kobe 9. Hakeem 10. Bird Im 18, some of these guys I never saw but this is what I got

[@TheJayday25]

Not bad.. Mine Kobe Jordan Bron Shaq Wilt Duncan Kareem Magic Ai Bird

[@dayra6425]

Why has no one ever asked shaq about Chris Jackson

[@Gorionward]

Shaq looks really unhealthy in this interview....he's been big for years but in this clip he looks out of breath sitting down. Hope the big fella is okay

[@TheGreatWesternTrendkill]

Gorionward I don't agree

Gorionward he's a naturally big man big dawg

[@alasdairmacintyre9383]

At his size I wouldnt be surprised if he weighed 500 lbs

[@napndash]

The Great Western Trendkill It's an observation that he's out of breath. Which he is. You don't disagree with that.

[@coldbeer6313]

I agree. He looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

[@supercoachkissofdeath9325]

Could of had 8 rings

[@gold6813]

People forget that Tim Duncan's spurs knocked Shaq and Kobe out of the second round after the 3-peat.

[@zachkim4]

Kenny then they got spanked by Detroit

[@Ryzon28]

WHAT? you saying I got one on Shaq? 10000 feet tandem skydive yeah buddy 😂

[@charlesking678]

Shaq can't recognize that guys don't post up much anymore because of rule changes. You can't have your back to the basket for more than 5 seconds and defensively you can't be in the paint for more than 3 seconds. So as a big you've got to keep moving. You can't just camp out in the paint anymore. Shaq's style of play is obsolete. That's why there are no more dominant centers.

[@philippghadiri7085]

If the diesel stayed with kobe he could have passed jordan probably

[@FuriousJack-wu5jf]

Shaq sounds like he's still got some pork chops stuck in his throat. There would be few centers in today's game that could guard Shaq in his prime. Gobert would get destroyed like he was Mutombo. DeAndre Jordan and Joel Embiid would probably be the best defenders on Shaq.
