Shaq on His Place in the GOAT Debate and His Mutual Respect With Kobe

[@YOUNGMANANDTHREE]

Thanks so much for stopping by the channel. Have a good weekend. Cheers.

[@derek8315]

Probably a better fit for Mind the Game but if you'd consider a Q&A section but here's two: 1. What percentage of NBA possessions involve a formal 'play'? 2. How are play calls shared without telling the the other team? Particularly in the playoffs where they likely have studied your sets

[@tahseenanwar009]

Massive respect JJ from the UK !

“No, I don’t need a sports psychologist. But I am about to become one.” Most Shaq quote ever

[@firstnamehogan]

🤣🤣

[@davidjosh5640]

Pinned himself perfectly

[@fgpsychology]

He will be surprised. I was. Many athletes see working on their mental game as a sign of weakness and it has nothing to do with that but with regulation and control of activation (among other things). He missed an opportunity and probably he will see it. I love Shaq and I hope he can see what S PSY really is.

"i am the current president of the big man alliance" I love how JJ holds back laughs, not that he's making fun of Shaq at all, just that he appreciates the "comedic" quality Shaq holds whilst he's being deadly serious.

[@angeloalvarez3248]

JJ mastered the art of hosting a podcast, in shaq's it was like a question and answer interview and it was more than great but this, this is one hell of a conversation

I’m going to be bummed if you start coaching JJ. You’re gifted at this and the sports media world needs hosts like you. Also, can I please have a job helping you do whatever you are doing. I am smart, experienced in life and dying to be apart of something special.

I really had to come to the realization that Shaq is actually the GOAT. He really does know what it’s like to have all the expectations of a No. 1 pick, winning championships, 3 peating, MVP, etc. You HAVE to respect it. He’s just one of the rare ones left that CAN talk their 💩.
