The Complete Compilation of Shaquille O'Neal's Greatest Stories Told By NBA Players & Legends

[@RareNBAFootage]

This series of yours is way too good. I’ve been an NBA fan for the past 7 years and thought I knew all the NBA trash talking stories, but YOU made me realize that I haven’t even scratched the surface. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart man.

[@NickSmithNBA]

Wow! Appreciate the kind words dude!

[@RareNBAFootage]

@@NickSmithNBA no problem man. You’re one of my few inspirations when it comes to making NBA KZbin content btw.

[@Christyle28078]

Yeah the fact you been a fan only 7 years should let you know you didn’t scratch the surface for more than just the trash talking of the NBA. It’s not a insult as you already know finding newer facts is a fun thing.

I like the Mad Dog Madsen story. Shaq protecting the wholesome youngster. Also shout out to Mad Dog's free spirit on the dancefloor. 😂

[@Shawn-ho6de]

About 5 years ago I was playing hoop at Stanford but they had this basketball tournament for MBA schools around the country.....I was kind of upset because I wanted to play basketball. I decide to watch a game hoping they would be done soon so I could play. I kept looking at this guy on the court....thinking I know this dude from some where....turns out it was Mad Dog.....he did not score a single point the first half but he had like 15 rebounds lol. I was surprised he was not actually very big. (For the NBA). He might have had an inch on me. I remember when I was a little kid he was a great college player. I think they went to the final four.

[@blybroncs15]

Lmao that dance was gold

[@darylshackelford3673]

Send all Mark's groupies to SHaq's room!!!!!

[@Daneohan]

I think Shaq is sensitive about his past player history, because, like Kobe said, he could've been the best of all time with the talent. Even with the medium effort that Shaq put in, he still was the most dominant big of all time. Shaq is the type of guy who would rather get straight Bs and have a lot of fun instead of studying all day to get straight As. Thanks for the compilation!

[@NickSmithNBA]

No worries, thanks for watching!

I really like the Mark Madsen story because it shows a different side of Shaq than we usually see, like a big brother kind of thing where he takes care of his lil bro Mark.

[@PunjabiPiccolo]

Shaq was so dominant man. These new age kids will never know just how dominant he was. I just remember as a kid cheering for the Sixers and watching Shaq completely manhandle whoever we tried to put on him. Dude was a monster.

[@Amigofix]

[@BM85s]

@@Amigofix they were more skilled but not sure they were better shq had a dog in him he was mean and nesty and wilt was a loser

[@popireal3628]

Shaq was DOMINANT- with all caps. When you talk about players on another level of their own, he’s one of them. I mean he was one of those players who just pissed you off as a defender because there was literally NOTHING you could do to stop him…except send him to the free throw line of course. 😂 (But sometimes he’d surprise you and start hitting free throws 👀).

[@Thundergodxix]

I know the matchup was pretty unfair, but people need to see his finals series vs the Pacers for example. Straight up bullying the whole team.

Shaq respecting his teammate waiting for marriage and going as far as protecting him from temptation and then taking care of him is the most wholesome NBA story I’ve ever heard

[@davidpallen7976]

Shaq got beat up every game that’s why he treated the off season like a vacation

[@firstnamelastname9215]

Broooo you are soooo right

[@someasiankid6323]

lmao live like a king and play like a beast

[@beebodavis931]

I get that but I do wish the head taking his conditioning a little more seriously because I seriously think that if he had trained as hard as Kobe did bro they could have won five or six easy and that's being light with it like they probably could have won more honestly but I'll say five or six just to be fair I mean dude that is in hands down the nastiest one two punch as far as little big goes Jordan and pimpin are the greatest duo of all time

[@capitanawesome44]

Way way under radar comment. But he had to endure so much punishment. And he never took it out on ppl on the court except on dunks. So he needed a release so he has fun.

[@GameUnkasa]

It's true but no excuse.. Same shit happens with LeBron, Shaq was just lazy when it came to conditioning.

[@brandonwilliams1067]

Shaq was my favorite player of all time. I was 12 his rookie year. I saw him that year at the Omni in Atlanta. From that day forward I was a HUGE Shaq fan, as a Hawk fan. So dominant. What a great career. He's still doing great things. Thanks, Shaq!

[@Aaron_Scissorhands]

Shaq is one amazing dude on and off the court. His personality is awesome. He doesn't take his fame or fortune to his head. You don't see that anymore.

[@ELVIS1975T]

American culture changed in a terrible way in terms of materialism in the last 3 decades: Money + Materials = Better Person Low Money = Scum Loser People born before 80s like me and Shaq are from this more humble era and mindset

[@kelijunior7871]

Some people do not realize how good Sir Charles was. Glad I grew up in this era and got to see him. 84 NBA draft class, The Dream, Air Jordan, & Sir Charles. There are more, but that's all I could think of at the time. All three of these guys held the won the regular season MVP, Jordan holding it the most, made history on the dream team. To be 6'6" playing power forward and center during his era, Charles Barkley was a beast. I would have went with Shaq also, but coming down to a free throw, I would go with Barkley.

[@brianjones6465]

Shaq has a HUGE heart and a huge sense of humor.

[@lucao15]

The stories about Shaq the human being are always far more intriguing and interesting than the ones about Shaq the player. He's truly a once in a lifetime person

[@imtheprofessor]

You’re right and that’s so funny to me because he’s one of the greatest to ever touch a ball, but because his personality is as big as shaq is, it kinda overshadows his career but in a good way. If life had a leaderboard shaq would be towards the top.

[@josephtrautman9252]

With more dedication to the game Shaq could have been the greatest player of all time. Even with less than great eating habits and work ethic he still is unanimous top 10 player EVER!

[@Fireguy65]

Imagine if he would’ve developed his jumpshot. Even if he only developed an average nba jumpshot.

[@Shawn-ho6de]

He still speaks the truth. I am a fat guy who was good at basketball. There were times in my life when I was in tip top shape and other times when I was more like Oliver Miller lol....being in the best possible shape really does help.

[@markl8047]

Timmy for sure.

[@michaelprata7654]

Shaq was my favorite player as a kid. He was proud to be a big man and I was a big kid, and he helped me be proud of my stature. And I love that he was so mean on the court but so generous, even to today. Still my favorite basketball player ever.

[@OrentholJames]

This makes appreciate Kobe even more: “yeah, he wish was in the gym, I would of have had fucking 12 rings”.

[@brunster5950]

Shaq stopped trying after the Sacramento Kings were cheated. He noticed he didn’t have to try to win games. He had solid teammates who can carry him if needed and if they were losing, you had refs that would give them the game. Even for just a couple seasons of not trying and knowing you would win regardless, he just decided to enjoy life. Think about Shaqs POV, if everyone in charge of the NBA wants you to win and a ref admits he was cheating games for you to win, would you still try your hardest or would you relax on millions? Can’t blame him,

[@DemonKing-oi4jd]

Kobe's lies. Kobe was already trying to usurp Shaq after 3 rings. He wasn't sitting back to win 12 😂

[@jean-didiermkmalou1973]

I was.. a kid that was discovering my love for basketball when MJ won his first ring. I was like in 4th grade. I grew up watching MJ, PIP, Shaq, Penny, Kobe and so many others in their prime.

Shaq has always been my favorite player, and also my fav celebrity. This guy dominated the NBA and released records with some of the best rappers of his time. This dude could have done anything in the world and excelled. I remember vividly bringing my N64 to my grandparent's home and playing NBA Live 98. I would lock my control to only Shaq, turn up all his sliders to 99, and see how many points I can beat the other team by. My grandpa said "this looks like real life! I can't imagine how these games could look any better"

[@paysonfox88]

Shaq being described by Kobe Bryant if he had work ethic, that was right on. Kobe really would have had 10 rings if Shaquille O'Neal had been in top shape. It would have been similar to what happened with Bill Russell and Bob koozie back in the 60s.
