Rare indeed. wow.

[@chitownkidd33]

This is what Shaq would do to all small ball lineups today. Look at the lineup the Celtics tried running.

[@nossenkanter]

But he'd still lose because 3 is bigger than 2 😭

@@nossenkanter nope

[@SPZ909]

Considering how fast the game has become, Shaq would get exhausted before the 3rd quarter. He’d have to drop serious weight and work on his stamina if he’d like to keep up with modern basketball.

[@aironenise]

@@SPZ909u tripping bro. joker and embiid cannot guard dude, I promise u

[@jankarlo3798]

@@SPZ909 This is a garbage take buddy, Shaq played 38-40 minutes a game in his prime and mind you he averaged 40 minutes a game in his MVP season playing 79 games. He was the Diesel and original Superman for a reason. Lakers at that time also LOVE to slow the pace. A game centered around Shaq would be slow as hell cause he's constantly drawing fouls and making good percentage shots that allow the Lakers to set their half court defense. Guys today can barely play back to back games or play 60+ games, let alone take the physical beating Shaq had to endure. This man took some of the HARDEST fouls of all time, played from October til June in 3 straight seasons, all while winning 3 straight FINALS mvp. Get out of here lmaooooooo

[@abstractdaddy1384]

48 points on 24 FGs. Insane

[@eboooo]

Career high free throw season. He was pretty heavy this season.

[@renzoenzo7535]

For me, the best low post player is Shaq. Size, Strength, Footwork, Hookshot, 1 hander

[@CashCollecta]

This was one of my favorite shaq games im glad someone finally uploaded it

[@mattjohnson6606]

Thanks for this. I'm a huge Lakers fan but I was only 13 at the time and lived in South Dakota. So this is the first I've heard of this.

[@dcshow]

No problem man 👌

[@southsideman4891]

Shaq's free throws are pure comedy

[@MrCannatopia]

I don’t know of a dynamic duo where it so easily goes either way, “Kobe and Shaq” “shaq and Kobe” just saying…. Sounds good either way lol

[@A.Hill2324]

Nice upload. Figured I’d ask if you can find Kobe triple double vs Charlotte 2/16/01 25,10,10? His second one, no highlight of the game on KZbin. As usual thanks bro! Keep up the grind. Your channels on the way to big numbers bro 💯🔥

[@dcshow]

I’ll check for that one, if yes then i’ll def add it to the list. And much appreciated always man 🙏👌

[@CraZzy3n3rGy]

One thing that’s not highlighted more is his hands. Any pass shaq will gobble it up and slams it. He’ll thrive more in todays game since there’s more space and guys are playing smaller now.

[@HeaveNn95]

3:18 that was fknn smooothh

[@talongmalaki8869]

when 5 players trying to guard one guy inside the paint and still not able to stop him. And they say shaq cant dominate in todays nba. What a joke

[@triangleoffense9382]

My favourite player Shaq

[@davidarnold2156]

Those last two years he had in LA were great but overlooked bcuz they dnt win the title neither year and the injuries that occurred

[@dcshow]

Good point, especially ‘03. Kinda gets lost amidst kobe and shaq’s 8 years together. Arguably their best as a duo in terms of production, combined 57.5 ppg.

[@davidarnold2156]

domcarter yea 03 was there best year I believe also. It’s just crazy how that front office never tried to get younger and add more athletic players around those two like the mavs, kings and spurs were doing at that time. It also would have been better for shaq to extend his prime while Kobe became the number 1 option

[@mattray9904]

As it is, they probably win in '03 if Horry's 3 doesn't rim out in game 5 vs the Spurs and perhaps in '04 if Malone wasn't injured before the finals(they were 32-8 with him.) Interestingly, the Lakers traded away the talent and athleticism they did have around Shaq and Kobe by ditching Jones, Campbell and Van Exel for little in return all in '98-'99 so they never had as much overall talent as the Blazers and Kings. They won with a cast of old, defensive minded players who weren't offensive threats. The 2000 team didn't even have perimeter shooting around Shaq and Kobe(5th worst 3 point shooting team.) The problem in '03 was Shaq delaying his surgery since the Lakers started 3-9 without him and Shaq wasn't immediately in shape to carry the offense as he had in the past so Phil had Kobe do it and he had his 40 point streak, but by this time in March, Shaq was 100% so Phil ran the offense through him again. That created a conflict since both guys had now been alphas and neither wanted to defer. Also, in '04 Payton never fit in the triangle and was rapidly declining much like Glen Rice in '00 so the offense looked better with Fisher.

[@mattray9904]

I think the 2nd half of the '01 season and playoffs was by far the best they played as a duo and the best any duo has played. Kobe figured it out after the Lakers went 11-3 without him and returned to become the facilitator, but still managed over 29/7/6 in the playoffs in the flow of the offense while keeping his defensive effort close to 2000. Kobe became stronger and more skilled by 2003 without losing athleticism, but the '01 playoffs was probably the most well-rounded he was. At the same time, Shaq was back in peak 2000 form and averaged over 30/15/3 in the playoffs.

[@ernestboykin3rd706]

@@mattray9904 No perimeter scorers in 2000 bruh?? Does Kobe Glen Rice Fox Horry & Fisher & B Shaw ring a bell?? Yea I loved EJ Nick the Quick & Elden wish they would've kept them because they with the other core from that team 4Peat for sure & they are easily the most talented team like in 1998 or 2000

His 61 and 23 birthday game

[@jofieji5312]

He travels so much. Doesn’t dribble but shifts both feet so he can get power to jump or dislodge the defender.

[@aironenise]

I’m watching but I don’t see what you’re talking about 2:49

[@kaizoku8087]

That’s after he catches the ball lands/plants then gather steps. That is legal.

[@jofieji5312]

@@kaizoku8087 maybe you’re right but what I’m seeing isn’t a gather step but him either shifting both feet after a pump fake before going up or him taking steps without dribbling.

[@kaizoku8087]

@@jofieji5312 As soon as you have the ball in your hands you can take to steps without dribbling on a shot attempt. That is the gather step. That is why layups are legal

What’s your personal favorite Shaq game?

[@Rad--ls7gp]

These days every rare Shaq game is my favorite cuz is new to me ,especially some rare Orlando games or his first 4 Lakers years where he was athletically in his prime,this game is great but here he was at his fattest from his prime ,still fun to watch players fall and strugglle with him,great upload

[@dcshow]

Rad 06-22 i appreciate it, and youre on point with the shaq weight thing lol, toe injury heading into 02-03 really put some pounds on him. This could be considered the tail end of prime Shaq, amazing he was still able to average 28 after gaining all that weight. Its crazy noticeable too. From 2000-03 you can tell he gained each year.

Shaq's audition with the Celtics

[@NBADUNKMAN]

Amazing upload! 12 dunks indeed but for some reason official stats for this game says 11. Shaq's highest dunking games as a Laker: 3/6/00 at LAC - 11 3/19/02 at DAL - 11 3/21/03 vs BOS -11 3/26/03 at HOU -10 Maybe you can get your hands on the Mavs game too? I assume you only do Shaq's Laker games? 4/6/93 PHI at ORL - Shaq had 13 dunks in that game, I have been trying to find it but so far no luck. Maybe you could get it somehow?

[@dcshow]

Thank you, and its odd that it says 11 for this one. I will make note of dallas and philadelphia ‘93, see if i can find

[@NathanKJohnson]

If Shaq would've stayed in shape, practiced his free throws more...him and Kobe would've won more championships for sure. And he would've gone down as the greatest ever.

[@ko7577]

And yet in '04, it wasn't Shaq who sank them, it was Kobe. He shot 38% vs Detroit, averaged TWO rebounds a game, FOUR assists a game. He was so bad that he eventually single-handedly took responsibility for that loss. He admitted it. It wasn't Shaq's shape or age, it was Kobe's beating up a teenager and namechecking Shaq in Colorado and then intentionally sinking the Lakers in Detroit that kept them from rings 4 and 6 in '04 and '06. He also cockblocked Lebron's coming in 2010 and knocked the Lakers out of four more. Just so he could say he won two like a big boy himself! In short, Shaq was better out of shape than Kobe was in it. People also don't take Shaq's injuries into account, but had no issue when Kobe went 208-243 in his last 6 seasons as a Laker, starting at age 32. Coincidentally, that's the same age Shaq was when he won a championship with Miami lol

I believe so yes. If i recall correctly when i went thru the game its towards the beginning.

[@865style]

If shaq and the lakers would of won 4 straight and shaq won 4 straight finals mvp then that'd be the best 4 year stretch from anyone. Jordan never did that. In fact only shaq and Jordan won 3 straight finals mvps.
