Shaq was a complete MONSTER! No question the undisputed most dominant player of his era. I'm a huge Shaq fan. But understand, in Kareem's era he was THE G.O.A.T. in high school, college, and the pros. ALL THREE! NOBODY WAS CLOSE. For the young brother who looks at Kareem as just being taller than the players of his era, understand he was a superior athlete and was the one of the most fundamentally sound basketball players in history. By the way, when Shaq had a full head of steam going to the hoop, the 'smart' man would never contest for fear of amputation.

[@greg2797]

I'm glad the comment section knows whats up lol Kareem played against plenty of other 7ft players. The height thing is a misconception. Shaq himself knows and has said Kareem was better. Also you can't talk about Kareem's competition and act as if Shaq played against nothing but great Centers. Shaq peaked in a weaker era of big men. When he was in Orlando he played against some greats and had back and forth battles with them like Ewing, Robinson and Hakeem (who schooled him) But when he peaked in LA most the bigs were retiring out and all the talent moved to the PFs like Timmy, KG, Dirk ect.. Shaq was playing against some trash ass bigs. I don't want to disrespect Shaq because he is top 5 big man no doubt along with Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt and Bill Russel but if we going to try and say Kareem played against bad competition than Shaq played against worse. And you only saying that argument because you can't believe someone put up more dominant numbers than Shaq lol

[@vinnypaolini9116]

Was on board until you said Hakeem schooled Shaq, that’s just complete BS lol. 22 year old Shaq put up identical numbers to Hakeem while being doubled constantly, Shaq was the best player on the floor but Hakeem had a better team.

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

Exactly. I've researched it plenty because I hate that argument and the avg height for those PF/C was actually slightly taller in Bill/Wilt days. Of course Wilt was the biggest because there just aren't many 7ft people period it doesn't matter what era we're talking about but they were consistently at 6'10 at those positions that's nowhere near the case today. Look at Rodman and Ben Wallace like they weren't much taller than Magic Johnson(granted yes he was a hybrid because not many pg were that tall LOL) But y'all get my point Ben was 6'9 and became 1 of the greatest defenders of all time and rebounders and he did it in Shaq era dude avg 15rbs at SIX FOOT NINE and Shaq never did at 7ft 1 and we've seen Ben play good D on Shaq. But besides the Rudy Goberts aren't many 7ft let alone really good one's now dudes are playing C/PF at 6'7-6'8 every night. Draymond is the dedicated 4/5 at 6'6.... Kobe and MJ height 😳 that was not the case in Kareem, Oscar, Wilt, Russell days. There weren't 5'10 players either the pg's were taller than a lot nowadays, I won't argue that it doesn't necessarily mean 1 is automatically better than another because of size but the whole argument casual fans have about that is so misconstrued.

[@greg2797]

@@vinnypaolini9116 So you can disagree with me saying schooled (although Shaq says so all the time) but saying "22 year old Shaq" means nothing. He was in his 3rd year avg 29/11 on 58% shooting. That's not your average 22 year old. Shaq was also runner up for MVP that year. Shaq was not the only one doubled. Shaq was never known for great defense, they absolutely were doubling Hakeem as well. But they defended each other most of the time and Hakeem came out on top with a sweep avg 33ppg. That's getting schooled to me. Shaq was not the best player on the floor. That much was shown. Shaq says he couldn't figure out Hakeem and was the only big he faced he couldn't get the best of. Lastly, Orlando was a #1 seed in the East and went 57-25, Rockets were a #6 seed and went 47-35. Orlando were favorites to winning not the Rockets so no Hakeem did not have the better team. Penny Hardaway made all nba 1st team and Shaq made all nba 2nd team. Orlando had the better team and were favorites to win with the better seed, MVP runner up on their team. Penny btw avg. 25/8 on 50% shooting.

Wilt was, is and will always be the most unstoppable force in basketball. And he didn't just play 35 minutes a game like Shaq.

Shaq averaged 2 blocks a game. Officially they didn't start keeping stats for blocked shots until a year after he retired but unofficially there is data for 112 games in the final years of Wilt's career and they have him at 8.8 blocks per game. Every single year for the first 8 years of Wilt's career he averaged more points per game than Shaq's highest yearly average. Kareem played the longest and put up the most points, Bill Russell was the consummate team player and has the most championships of anyone and will always hold that record.

[@fr34lakers]

Thank you. If you watch, The bank shot that Duncan is known for, that was Wilt, Hakeem’s fadeaway that was Wilt, Ewing’s turnaround jumper, that was Wilt, Dirk’s one legged fadeaway, that was Wilt, and as you say the sky hook that was Wilt. George Gervin’s finger roll, that was Wilt, and then of course he was called the Big Dipper because he would often dip the ball into the basket versus dunk it. These guys don’t know what they’re talking about. Not to mention his incredible conditioning and strength. Shaq would be lucky to average 20 points on Wilt.

[@retrokingyagami6831]

Do Wilt Chamberlain and be amazed Shaq was the 2nd version of this man his achievements are a thing of dreams. His strength was unbelievable

[@shogunshogun]

Wilt is stopping Shaq and every other player when it comes to force or physicality.

[@justinmurk2410]

Let’s go with the Vince Carter highlights!!! IMO the best in-game dunker ever 🔥🔥reaction

[@Tony-rz4ks]

never ever thought he was good or great at all...he was jumping 6" inches to dunk, he had 6" over most players and 100 lbs over most players...that would be like you playing against a 6th graders....yes you would dominate. anyone that was that tall and weighed that much and a little athleticism could do what he did.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

That’s dumb logic. Don’t disrespect the diesels game like that. For one, u can’t say someone with his size and athleticism can do what he did because there ISNT ANYONE with that combo of traits. He’s one of one. That’s why he is who he is. Secondly, shaq was extremely skilled. A lot more than given credit for. His ability to gain position, his footwork at that size, his agility, his post game, jump hooks, back spins into lobs, black tornado spin, drop steps, pivot game , passing, etc. he had game. It wasn’t just his size that made shin great. U need to go watch shaqs thinking basketball episode and get that ignorance out of your head.

[@Tony-rz4ks]

@@TheIcemanthomas facts...terrible free throw shooter,...one of the worst in the league...its like playing on 8 ft goal for him...easy. It would be like you playing on 8 ft goal against 6 grader and if say you would not dominate you are dumb. gain position bc he used his 100 lbs difference over his opponents.

[@lowkeywoodfella]

Kareem had 6 rings and the hook shot is the most unstoppable shot in history

[@steelehere1]

There were a hundreds of centers 6'10" or taller that Kareem played against. Some that come to mind include Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, Bob Lanier, Jack Sikma, Bill Walton, Caldwell Jones, Ralph Sampson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Mark Eaton, Tom Burleson, Swen Nater, Willis Reed, Wilt Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond, Walt Bellamy, Darryl Dawkins, Willis Reed, Sam Lacey, Patrick Ewing, James Donaldson, Otis Thorpe, Benoit Benjamin, James Edwards, Tree Rollins, Kevin Willis, Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer

[@56belowzero]

Shaq would break the backboards all the time they had to redesign them because of him!! He was a beast!

[@JPMadden]

Early in Shaq's career, when he played for the Orlando Magic, I saw something I've seen just that one time. The Magic had the ball on offense, 4-on-5, because Shaq was late coming up the court. He built up a head-of-steam, running right at the basket. A teammate passed to him for a dunk, and it seemed to me that the opposing players just got out of the way of Shaq, instead of playing defense. Maybe that's not what happened, but it looked like it.

[@kdm71291]

They didn't want to take a charge and be on the DL for a month, haha!

[@Chadceeka]

That's every player on defence now

[@freshairforever7760]

An epic video clip if ya'all could find it , when Shaq was at LSU , they were playing at Illinois , cant remember what year , but a 5"11" point guard Rennie Clemens took it down the lane and lay ups over the Shaq , its epic !!! You guys do a great job , keep it up !!

[@davidnibert4385]

Kobe n Shaq..the best 1-2 punch in basketball history. I watched the MFing thing unfold. Those were the days 😎

[@3YearsApart1613]

Just the power of Shaq's dunks where incredible. Scary man in the paint.

[@jtothac5364]

Y’all are young as hell lol. I watched this man in Orlando and LA

[@rumbleyoungmanrumble5369]

Go to the Wilt Chamberlain Archive channel if you want to see a couple of big men throw down. There were many seven footers in Kareem's era, and a number of centers taller than him. He schooled them all. My personal opinion, Shawn Kemp was the best dunker of the '90s.

[@antoinejordan4773]

Next big man you have to do a reaction to is Hakeem "the dream" Olajuwon. Differently gave Shaq troubles whenever they played against one another.

[@kurtistautuhi6750]

Watching SHAQ is like watching JONAH LOMU.. both players uniquely talented with size.. absolute freaks who made their sport look easy 👍👍

[@ericko777]

I don't get people being impressed by Shaq. He just stands under the basket and waits for the ball.

[@EdDie-ws8vg]

Love it if you guys would do a Clyde Drexler video. Jordan was so gigantic in that era that Clyde just got forgotten.

[@dianebaker7714]

If I remember correctly Dennis Rodman did a ok job of guarding Shaq but thats one guy lol! Your boy is right, for all intended purposes he was unguardable. All you could do was hackashaq and hopefully tire him out after awhile. He was just too wide and strong. Best of all he is such a good person and thats what matters most.

[@moegreen5760]

Idc what anyone says, the 1990’s was the best era of the nba.

[@ThePursoodm]

The other centers were just as tall as shaq. It's just they were more likely to be like 250 pounds and he was over 300 pounds. Plus he was agile on offense. It was hard for all the centers to deal with someone throwing that much weight on them all game. As for Kareem, he didn't just dominate cuz he was taller than people. He had an unstoppable hook shot he made at a high percentage. And he really wasn't that much taller than the other NBA centers.

[@streetplaya23]

anyone else noticed the awkward tension silence between leftmost dude n rightmost dude after they started throwin insults over a trivial topic lol

[@taylor6466]

Best arguments against older centers like Kareem is the ABA had some of the best athletes and the rules being different didn't allow for a lot of contact

[@williamgrierson4133]

You can actually use Kareem for the last shot of the game. Best unstoppable shot, and he can step to the free throw line and clutch.

[@joemorris9995]

Hakeem Olajuwon or Kareem are the best C of all time in my book. Checkout Hakeem’s stats in the all time lists. Blocks, rebounds, FG% FT%, steals for Center and 25+ pts a game. The best defensive center beside Bill Russell.

[@fr34lakers]

Don’t forget Wilt. He was beast defensively. But you got a solid list.

[@haydotzero3372]

You got to do Hakeem next

[@PathtoYahawah]

Wilt Chamberlain once dunked from the free throw line on two steps in a game after being fouled an NBA executive was there and happened to be on the rules committee as well saw that and the following season the nba implemented rule change barring that before his arrival!

[@cuba8188]

Shaq was the most unguardable player in history next to wilt and mj. If u hold him to 25 u played great defense! Plus the refs let players assault him without calling anything! He was a different beast. Plus he was quick af in his orlando days!

Shaq was unstoppable at the rim, but it took some effort and delivery to get there... Kareem's move was unstoppable on the block, much easier to set up and get off

yall missed the Shaq crossover Jordan in the allstart game AND Shaq going from coast to coast frm one side of the court to the other cross over whn he was on the Suns.

Difference between Shaq and Kareem is power vs finesse and Kareem is one of 3 wit an actual goat argument

Shaq was always playing 2nd fiddle to The Dream. There was a time they was suppose to play 1vs 1 on pay per view to settle the beef.
