Not really how

Shaq was 20 in this vid and his voice sounds like he still hadn’t hit puberty.

[@somerandomguy84]

Haha as a guy studying opera singing, I'm gonna be a nerd for a sec: the early adult voice tends to be a bit lighter. Lebron and Kobe also have lighter sounding voices if you look at their rookie interviews.

[@razkable]

21

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

Lol I mean by Shaq standards maybe...

[@creydadj]

Crazy Shaq speaks louder in his post playing career

[@soulexee]

for a males voice the biggest change is during puberty and after that your voice will slowly change as you age

[@Zipfei_Kloatscher]

Wow, you could understand Shaq back then... 😂

[@razkable]

this dude was a rookie basically avg. 23 15 and 3.5 blocks lol..wtf?

[@michaelw7327]

@@razkable he meant when he was talking, like speaking. people don't really understand him too much because his voice is now deep and it sounds like hes sorta slurred when hes talking, making it harder to understand what he's saying

[@Terror832]

Shaq nowadays sounds like “Hisljdurkehd BBQ Chicken. Kobe pass me ball I dunk emoedjeldshdsljd”

[@Stoptheinvasion2025]

@@michaelw7327 he smokes a lot of weed these days

this is insane to see, these guys literally became family like 25 years later, maybe 22(im guessing when Shaq joined TNT).

Ernie needs to bring back that sweater

[@ahau123411]

he was so soft spoken back then, being great makes you a tough guy i guess lmao. goat

[@UnofficialAnti-Ignorance]

When he dunked on David Robinson in the 1996 All Star Game in San Antonio, Woooooh!!!! He defined his legacy as SHAQ.

[@creydadj]

He dunked in all the dominant centers in his career Patrick, Hakeem, DRob, Zo, and Yao.

[@987654321012346789]

His voice was so light an soft.

[@seakay5705]

Take me back to when they used Alice In Chains songs during transitions

wish people did this kind of real hard pressing interview with like these cocky kids like simmons lonzo or zion..now its all buddy buddy in the game and media...back then guys hated each other did not want youngsters to succeed before they proved themselves and media went at these dudes for every little thing....now they coddle them...shaq was a man at age 19 by the way..my goodness..hes 21 here avg. 23 15 and 3.5 as a rookie

[@barrybonds9558]

@@razkable Considering your profile pic your no older then 20 therefore you have no clue what your talking about.

[@tonyc86]

@SirAaron29 I don't think Ernie can be his boss when Shaq probably makes 50x his salary

[@NationJJ]

That sweater! Also, I see where the parody of quick bursts of sentences with pauses comes from when impersonating Shaq and funny how Shaq impersonating Oakley sounds like Shaq today. 🙃

[@jonathanbaird8109]

I loved that Ernie was surprised that Shaq said that he might've been in jail if his father hadn't straightened him out. That possibility had never crossed EJ's mind and rightfully so. EJ knew exactly who Shaq was right off the bat and I think it should come as no surprise to anyone that they came together for Inside.

[@YK-fj5bj]

That was a really good Magic team then. Shaq, Penny, Grant, 3D, Anderson......

[@prismatic9804]

"Do you talk trash?" *I only speak when spoken too* Yeeeaaaaah right, lmao

Last song I was expecting to hear in this video was “Would” by Alice in Chains lmao

Woooow Young Shaq 😂😂😂

I hope I’m not the only one who wanted “Would?” by Alice In Chains to keep playing in the background.

[@WY-bf2fx]

kinda goes funkily well with the sport clips too

[@gionnivillalobos7112]

I was so surprised they played that

[@blakfloyd]

@@gionnivillalobos7112 the fact that it was a brand new song at the time helped.

[@dantheman8152]

Shaq had major respect for Pat Ewing

[@creydadj]

Heck he shed a tear for Pat one time

[@AntLive29]

Ernie with the full head of hair and Shaq speaking clearly instead of sounding like he has marbles in his mouth. nice

You answered your own question.

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

@@mauricioibarra701 haha. Since people struggle to read between lines, the point I was trying to make is that a depressing song like "Would" by Alice in Chains is about as far away from a "jock jam" as you can get.

Well now he sounds like he swallowed a baseball ⚾ it's stuck in his throat but this video you can here him clearly amazing.
