The ONLY Big Man Shaq Respects...

Shaq has been critical of other big men for years, but it seems Giannis Antetokounmpo is the first one he's truly embraced in his time on Inside The NBA. Shaq has actually been high on Giannis for a few years now, and seems to see him as the player who plays most similar to himself, as he decided to give Giannis his Superman nickname that Shaq has long refused to give to anybody else.

@@nonoypascual has nothing to do with the jumper at all, shaq just knows how easy it is to score using his size. Shaq's style of play would easily run in the NBA now, like easily, like so fucking easy.... since shooting has become more prolific and 3 pointers more common defences have hand to run man defence or a 3 man around the arc style which has left the paint open, youll get bodied up by your opponent playing man defence but thats it.. if youre the stronger man and you back down your opponent its yours for the taking every time

yah most people think that, but the better your jumper gets, the more you'll rely on it and you'll eventually lose your skill in the paint. It happened with a friend of mine. Learned how to put up a 3 and now he can't land a layup

[@sparda198]

What Giannis needs is to have a reliable free throw. If he get better at that during a season he's going to be unstoppable

[@mrmacross]

I think if Giannis wants to continue dominating into his 30s he'll eventually need that jumper. Game 6 was amazing, but a lot of that was from the hustle and motor that comes from youth. Guy was running and jumping up and down the court like a maniac. Once he's 12 years into the NBA, that kind of energetic performance is going to be hard to replicate.

[@Jarekx2007]

He just proved he doesn't need a jumpshot at all. As long as he improves his FT% and develops a low post game to supplement his decline in athleticism as he gets older, he'll be dominant any time he's surrounded by 3&D guys.

giannis' spin move at 3:10 is what separates him from other big men who utilize spin moves. other big men will always spin right into a shot or pass each time (lebron, dwight howard, blake griffin). it's just muscle memory for them and more easily guardable. giannis has the ability to stop on a dime (without traveling) and give himself time to think, instead of forcing himself into a split-second decision

I'd say a more refined role for a traditional big man in the NBA should be this; be present on defense, get to the rim, set screens, be active in the interior, get the boards, and hustle hustle hustle.

THIS IS WHY SHAQ IS MY FAVORITE BIG MAN OF ALL TIME RESPECTING MY FAVORITE PLAYER Giannis

Shaq is great for giving the prows to a younger generation. Many legends can’t do that

Shaq: "Giannis Ante - kanoopo"

[@drueldorado5700]

He's only 27. For him to improve, I would turn to Hakeem Olajuwon.

[@archangel323118]

Yes all the greats train with Hakeem before. Even Kobe Bryant who wasn't even a forward/center.

[@brettpoole7888]

Hakeem's footwork is next level.

The ninja at the end acting like they were there for him 🤣

Shaq was always on to something. I haven't see a guy that big be so quick since probably David Robinson in his prime.

The LeBron that was supposed to be. New face of NBA imo. Curry. And Doncic ... Humble opinion.
