Shaq's beef with Stan Van Gundy exploded when his former coach accused him of flopping

Pat Riley was the GM who brought Shaquille O'Neal to Miami, and the coach who led Shaq's Heat to a title, but ... not immediately. For a moment there, young Stan Van Gundy was Shaq's coach. It didn't end well, and a few years after their divorce, a seemingly minor on-court collision brought some behind-the-scenes beef into the public eye. Let's talk about Shaq and the "master of panic."

More often then not,if you are really really good at one thing,even if they see it coming they can't stop it. Think about adjusments,be good at them,practice them,talk about them,when time comes that adujsment has to be second nature to you,but never rush with it. Some coaches over think the entire thing. Sometimes simple works.

Van Gundy, Barkley, so many others have talked about how sensitive Shaq is and it's so true, he might be the most thin-skinned NBA superstar ever. For a guy so dominant who accomplished so much you would think by how thin-skinned he is that he never won anything and was nothing more than a bench player, it's weird how sensitive he is. Also, Van Gundy has a lot of respect from former players but a few have mentioned how when it did come to playoffs and clutch time that Van Gundy often did overthink things and choked, though they don't use the word choke but they imply it.

Barkley just laughed about it, but Kenny got all scared bcuz he had wanted to use the term after the highlights and was just mumbling LOL Shaq is always punking him on the show, he has no backbone and never stands up for himself.

But SVG deserves way more credit for those Heat teams from the mid 2000s than he gets credit for, he laid the groundwork for that 06 ring and we probably could have gotten another ring if not for the drama that Shaq brings….speaking of….you should have mentioned how 2 years later Riley will trade Shaq to the Suns due to Shaq physically pushing him.

He also can dribble the ball very well, lookup Stanny Handles. He probably has better handles than Lonzo ball, that was the best part of hearing him scream “do a move do a move do something” or just screaming “no no do not shoot off a dribble” at Lonzo.

Zeke and MJ beef history

[@redman6790]

Interesting observation I just thought of was the occurrence of coaches leaving on the edge of championship success, ofc hard to tell if it would have panned out the same. Del Harris and Lakers (replaced by PJax in 99 and won from 00-02), SVG and Heat (replaced by Riley in Dec 05 and won in 06), Mark Jackson and GSW (replaced by Kerr in 14 and won in 15/17/18).

[@melvynsngltn27]

Del Harris got fired in 1998, Kurt Rambis coached the Lakers before Phil Jackson

[@felix200601]

Of the three coaches you mentioned SVG is the one I only wonder about. The other two….nah, unless Lebron on team.

[@specialwhenlit8435]

The Dubs needed Kerr to get them over the hump. He swapped David Lee out for Draymond, emphasized ball movement and unlocked both the offense and defense. And the Lakers needed Phil, if for nothing else than to unlock the talents of two gigantic egos in Shaq and Kobe and make them work together, he was absolutely the man for the job.

[@jaredwright5644]

For such a gregarious and generous person, Shaq sure has a lot of beef with lots of people.

[@rogerszmodis6913]

We’re going to need an hour long video on the Shaq, Howard, Van Gundy beef triangle.

[@margarinetaintedgreen8140]

Really good video.

[@MrBrainiac25]

Someone can be playfully joking around with Shaq and then he completely goes for the jugular lmao

[@acnicodemus4734]

Shaq is called Mr. sensitive/Petty White for a reason. He's an egomaniac.

[@Bknowledge]

Matt Barnes has publicly commented on how SVG's coaching decisions led to the Magic's loss in the ECF to the Celtics, which dovetails nicely with Shaq's "master of panic" comment.

Beef history: Stan Van Gundy vs retaining superstar centers

[@jeremyellismusic]

So wild to hear a younger Shaq speak at normal human pace, almost in the style of Kobe, where as now he's stuck at a slow, low grumble that's barely understandable. Love the guy, but that's real.

[@kondwanimkandawire2680]

Rumour has it Shaq used to call Stan Van Gundy "Stan Van Jeremy" after "Ron Jeremy". When I heard that I thought it was gold!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Shaq literally has 4 episodes of Beef History lol

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

And they still haven't done a deep dive on his beef with Kobe yet.

[@yanyansalvilla958]

Just when I was ready to go to sleep but I'll watch this video no matter how tired I am.

[@ljcool17]

What happened to Shaq? He used to speak clearly that he does now

[@Evs78101]

Shaq is always right. Remember that

[@armin38822]

When you are a NBA superstar that's actually your reality. You are always right ! That's why their egos get so hurt once the career is over and the name doesn't shine like that anymore...Retired NBA players have the biggest egos I've ever seen. Is unbelivable how much they buy into their own hype.

[@brennansmith3343]

its crazy how Shaq has been featured on the beef series no less than four times and we still haven’t gotten to the Shaq Kobe beef
