Shaq First NBA Game EVER - 1992 Preseason

[@anthonyscarpa6107]

You will never see another Shaquille O'Neal.. MDE 💯

[@bobserling4812]

I’m young so the only nba I know is the 2010-2020’s but it looks so much more fun to watch basketball from the 80’s and 90’s wish I had been able to see it

[@yellowduck-2024]

Shaq and Seikaly played against their future teams respectively

[@eddietorres9248]

Bro, they would never be another center like Shaq.

[@nedaari1]

7:20 - A foreshadowing of one way that Shaq would change the game forever.

[@JewandGreek]

I was living in Orlando when they picked up Shaq. Everybody knew this guy was gonna be phenomenal. They played .500 his first season which was the team's best because they were an expansion team. The next year they picked up Penny Hardaway and made it to the playoffs. The year after that they picked up Horace Grant as a free agent and made it to the finals. The next year they got swept by the Bulls in the playoffs and Shaq left for LA because he knew the Magic weren't going to win a championship as long as Brian Hill was their coach. I can't help but wonder what might have been if they had dumped Brian Hill for a better coach and Shaq had remained in Orlando?

[@alwayskul]

Shaq said in his book that he wanted Chuck Daly as coach. They got Daly too late and by that time Shaq had gone to the Lakers. I think if Shaq had Daly as a coach, he would have respected him because of the two championship rings he won with Detroit.

[@gsabog]

the best sidekick center of all time

[@TheDustin151]

Basketball back then was played so different than today. Thats why i think it’s difficult to compare players.

[@marcusreed5862]

The players use to shoot the ball like they had to poop

[@allanhouston.1884]

7"1 ( 330 ) Shaquille O"Neal will be dominate in the modern Nba. 30-35-ppg. FG-60%. 15-RPG. 3-BPG.

[@patrickderocco296]

@@marcusreed5862 It's a more natural position. Maintains back chain dominance. A lot of the modern training utilizing hip thrusts, cleans, snatches, push the hips forward, the body adapts and becomes more front chain dominant. This leads to higher injury rates as the body will move the way it's trained, as you see in the modern NBA, many of the players, especially stars, are often injured.

[@eddietorres9248]

I truly believe that Shaq would have still dominated in this era

[@charlesjonesii5680]

How ironic Shaqs first preseason game vs the Heat and his first regular season game was against the Heat and playing against t center Ronnie Seikly who would replace Shaq for the Magic when Shaq went on to play for LA

[@marcusreed5862]

He was 7'1 301 pounds here yet he was referred to as skinny shaq😂

[@YNWA77]

More like 6’11. Wasn’t fully grown yet.

he was actually 7ft 285 pounds

[@yellowduck-2024]

He was 320 lbs in his Lakers days

[@inallairness]

Great upload, mate. Thanks from Australia.

[@dsc5754]

So Shaq's 1st NBA game was against the team he would win his last championship with and against the center who replace him in Orlando after he went to LA.

[@changkwangoh]

Isn’t it ironic, Shaq won a ring with the Heat and had his jersey retired there too.

[@isaiahayers1550]

What's ironic about that?

[@SBRS47]

Following up to see how this is ironic.

[@eventfulnonsense]

His first game is underwhelming.

[@moranphillips2064]

Shaq's debut. He hadn't even signed his contract with reebok yet

to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or probably will SOMEWHAT like the magic because i did do and/or probably will really LOVE shaquille o'neal

[@ramaladingdong4998]

They thought 58% was low for shaq if they only knew

[@Btn1136]

They never made that Skiles and Shaq buddy cop movie sad😢

[@pcorf]

Shaq was the reason why Miami won their first title in 2006.

[@trinidegatesamarilamargate4732]

Wht shoes did Shaq have on ?

[@nedaari1]

Double teaming Shaq on game 1 though? And why near the 3-pt line?

[@InfamousFunkster]

"he's going to have to become more selfish and go up and tear the rim down." I think he heard you.

I can't believe scrubs like Matt Geiger and Rony Seikaly were rotational players. Every era will have their superstars, but the 90's reeked of scrub role players. I didn't even mention guys like Donald Royal, Keith Askins, Stacey Augmon, etc. The league depth chart and lower tier talent pool is much better and skilled today.

[@matthewholland4077]

Seikaly could play, far from a scrub. He averaged nearly 15 and 10 for his career.

[@rustyshackleford1114]

Dude, you don't know jack shit about the NBA. Stay in your lane and be quiet.

[@loreleifajardo2430]

17 points a game is scrub?

Lot of turn overs, misses, bad passes to wrong team. Even rookie Shaq still needed some work.

Seikaly trying to dunk over a 20 yo athletic Shaq was disrespectful. He clearly didn't know who he was 😂

Rony Seikaly once grabbed 34 rebounds, Shaq never did.
