The not being “him” is what Klay went thru this year. That’s why he was sooo emotional after that one gam he wasn’t starting in, because deep down he too knew he wasn’t the same dominant player he use to be.

@unlimited9004 Ай бұрын

This here is 1000% true!. I was telling my friends this in the middle of this season. I criticized Klay for not being able to adjust and to accept the person he is today but i failed to acknowledge the grieving period

@unlimited9004 Ай бұрын

@Jared-qf1tjI literally had this same question last year with Russell Westbrook. He was never a great shooter (we all know that), but the fact that he is shooting considerably worse is baffling to me. I wonder if he is one of those players that was not a natural shooter and worked on it constantly and the moment he stopped working on it disappeared. But this reasoning doesn’t make sense for someone like James harden. Maybe shooting has an underlying connection to the physicals or mental we can’t see. For instance, Klay is not as a great of shooter as he used to be ever since the ACL. But i have no idea just spitballing

@blazefactor6849 Ай бұрын

@Jared-qf1tj The reason players lose their shot is that shooting is inherently tied with your physical traits, be it the mechanics of your shot or how well you can find room to take them. A player like Klay wants to find space to take a shot, to get his feet set and to get into his rhythm. Losing even a little bit of his speed and coordination from injury can close the gap to the point that a shot that would be set and comfortable one year is an unsteady falling jumper the next. He literally can't get away fast enough from his defender to get a clean look. This also causes some issues getting lift on a shot, you can't get as high as quickly when you shoot so your shots are flatter and lack the push that comes from your legs. It just makes the accuracy window that much smaller.

@The_Tradie_Trainer Ай бұрын

@@blazefactor6849This. Klay is probably just as good in the gym and during shoot around as he ever was. But a 2% loss in physical speed and reaction time can make the world of difference at NBA level.

I was happy to see him retire, and be regarded as one for the all time great big men.

So while no where near his prime Shaq was still very good in PHX. He had Nash feeding him the ball and teams were focused in on Amare that Shaq ate good. He played a season and a half in PHX and the full season he was with us he played 75 games in 2008-09, his most games since 2000.He had lost weight and, at least at the time, got to work with one of the best training staffs in the NBA. At the age of 36 he put up 18 PPG-8.5 RPG-1.5 BPG on 61% shooting. Obviously far from prime Shaq standards but you are talking bout him like he was Bilbo after he gave up the Ring.

Players used to always get near the end and say they wont miss the game yada, yada, and for some reason you kind of buy into that. But when you think about any of these players that play for even a few seasons it has to be very hard. They had success in life at a very young age now they have to punch the clock or find a hobby. Bo Jackson still sits in his garage in suburban Chicago and make arrows all day.

I grew up watching Shaq. I watch NBA on TNT religiously. I always had this idea that Shaq was a bit of a fool - great, probably smart also in some way, but a fool. This snippet just shifted my perspective. Super thoughtful, reflective, balanced. I love it. Inspiring.

father time is undefeated, the only players that had a chance were Brady and Lebron. Watching Tiger at the masters and just realizing, this is it, his body just can't keep up

That's depression Shaq. No matter your status, you're still human. It's life!

Some levels of status/ wealth and popularity or talent and or health to where you have to just get over it honestly, especially when you look at people that are struggling that have it a billion times worse than a multi millionaire Shaq with the world at his fingertips.

They was tho … when that 5 was healthy they was running thru teams ! The offense looked flawless ! Than Shaq got hurt and he / the team kept saying he’s coming back soon and never came back ! Big Baby said next time he sees Shaq he’s gonna ask him who make him sit for the rest of the season !? Celtics got played !!

For as great of a player Shaq was he seems like such an incredible person off the court. He does so much for so many people and he doesn’t seek praise for it, he just does it because he’s a good person.

05-06 he stopped being SHAQ. He had injuries early in the season and his mobility was never the same. Van Gundy was the scapegoat because he held Shaq accountable for his defensive shortcomings. Three peat Shaq was so physically superior and hungry he let himself go and led to injuries

@chiggsytube Ай бұрын

No, Shaq had his big toes fused because of arthritis. Luke Walton played with that Shaq, if I recall correctly. Fused big toes means you are much less athletic. Those quick spins went away, as well as his lob game. Kind of the same way that Dwight's back injuries made him human, as opposed to what he started off as.

I worked concessions at the Orlando Arena when Shaq played for the Magic, I remember him getting ejected from a game, can't remember who they were playing. As he was heading back to the locker room, he was pissed off, knocking over chalk boards, or whatever was in his path. However what amused me the most was watching I believe the GM name was Pat Davis at the time, watching him stress out and kiss Shaq's ssa, trying to calm him down. I ran into Shaq a few times out and about during his Orlando days' he even gave my buddies and myself some passes to get in the gate for an after party he was having, after the club (we ended up leaving with some girls instead), The club was Deco's He used to have the Superman 64 parked out front. Man we were hurt when he went to LA.
